(Introduction)

 

In The Flesh ? (Waters)

So ya thought ya might like to go to the show
To feel the warm thrill of confusion
That space cadet glow
Tell me is something eluding you sunshine?
Is this not what you expected to see?
If you wanna find out what's behind these cold eyes?
You'll just have to claw your way through this disguise

 

 

The Thin Ice
(
Waters)

Mamma loves her baby
And daddy loves you too
And the sea may look warm to you babe
And the sky may look blue
But ooooh baby
Ooooh baby blue
Ooooh babe
If you should go skating
On the thin ice of modern life
Dragging behind you the silent reproach
Of a million tear stained eyes
Don't be surprised, when a crack in the ice
Appears under your feet
You slip out of your depth and out of your mind
With your fear flowing out behind you
As you claw the thin ice

 

 

Another Brick In The Wall (Part I)
(
Waters)

Daddy's flown across the ocean
Leaving just a memory
A snap shot in the family album
Daddy what else did you leave for me
Daddy what d'ya leave behind for me
All in all it was just a brick in the wall
All in all it was all just bricks in the wall

 

 

 

The Happiest Days Of Our Lives
(
Waters)

When we grew up and went to school
There were certain teachers who would
Hurt the children any way they could
By pouring their derision upon anything we did
And exposing every weakness, however carefully hidden by the kids
But in the town it was well known when they got home at night
Their fat and psychopathic wives would thrash them
Within inches of their lives

 

 

 

Another Brick In The Wall (Part II)
(
Waters)

We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave the kids alone
Hey teacher leave us kids alone
All in all it's just another brick in the wall
All in all you're just another brick in the wall

 

 

Mother (Waters)

Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb
Mother do you think they'll like the song
Mother do you think they'll try to break my balls
Mother should I build a wall
Mother should I run for president
Mother should I trust the government
Mother will they put me in the firing line
Is it just a waste of time?

Hush now baby don't you cry
Mama's gonna make all of your nightmares come true
Mama's gonna put all of her fears into you
Mama's gonna keep you right here under her wing
She won't let you fly but she might let you sing
Mama's gonna keep baby cosy and warm
Ooooh babe ooooh babe ooooh babe
Of course mama's gonna help build the wall

Mother do you think she's good enoughfor me ?
Mother do you think she's dangerous for me ?
Mother will she tear your little boy apart ?
Mother will she break my heart ?

Hush now baby, baby don't you cry
Mama's gonna check out all your girlfriends for you
Mama won't let anyone dirty get through
Mama's gonna wait up untill you come in
Mama will always find out where you've been
Mama's gonna keep you healthy and clean
Babe, you'll always be a baby to me
Mother, did it need to be so high

 

 

Goodbye Blue Sky (Waters)

Did you see the frightened ones
Did you hear the falling bombs
Did you ever wonder
Why we had to run for shelter
When the promise of a brave new world
Unfouled beneath a clear blue sky
Did you see the frightened ones
Did you hear the falling bombs
The flames are all long gone
But the pain lingers on
Goodbye blue sky
Goodbye blue sky
Goodbye

 

 

Empty Spaces (Waters)

What shall we use to fill the empty
Spaces where we used to talk?
How shall I fill the final places
How shall I complete the wall

 

 

What Shall We do Now (Waters)

(instrumental)

 

 

Young Lust (Gilmour, Waters)

I am just a new boy
And stranger in this town
Where are all the good times
Who's gonna show this stranger around ?
Ooooooooh I need a dirty woman
Ooooooooh I need a dirty girl

Will some cold woman in this desert land
Make me feel like a real man
Take this rock and roll refugee
Ooooh babe set me free
Ooooooooh I need a dirty woman
Ooooooooh I need a dirty girl


 

One Of My Turns (Waters)

Day after day, love turns grey
Like the skin of a dying man
Night after night, we pretend it's all right
But I have grown older and
You have grown colder and
Nothing is very much fun anymore

And I can feel one of my turns coming on
I feel cold as a razor blade
Tight as a tourniquet
Dry as a funeral drum
Run to the bedroom, in the suitcase on the left
You'll find my favourite axe
Don't look so frightened
This is just a passing phase

First one of my bad days
Would you like to watch T.V.?
Or get between the sheets
Or contemplate the silent freeway?
Would you like something to eat?
Would you like to learn to fly? Would you?
Would you like to see me try?
Would you like to call the cops?
Do you think it's time I stopped?
Why are you running away?

 

 

 

Don't Leave Me Now
(
Waters)

Ooooh babe
Don't leave me now
Don't say it's the end of the road
Remember the flowers I sent
I need you babe
To put through the shredder
In front of my friends

Ooooh babe
Don't leave me now
How could you go?
When you know how I need you
To beat to a pulp on a Saturday night

Ooooh babe
Don't leave me now
How can you treat me this way?
Running away
I need you babe
Why are you running away?
Ooooh babe

 

 

Another Brick In The Wall (Part III)
(
Waters)

I don't need no arms around me
I don't need no drugs to calm me
I have seen the writing on the wall
Don't think I'll need anything at all
All in all it was all just brick in the wall
All in all you were all just bricks in the wall


The last Few Bricks

(instrumental)

 

Goodbye Cruel World
(
Waters)

Goodbye cruel world
I'm leaving you today
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye all you people
There's nothing you can say
To make me change my mind

Goodbye

Hey You (Waters)

Hey you! out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me
Hey you! standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles, can you feel me
Hey you! don't you help them to bury the light
Don't give in without a fight
Hey you! out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone would you touch me

Hey you! with your ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out would you touch me
Hey you! would you help me to carry the stone
Open your heart, I'm coming home

But it was only a fantasy
The wall was too high, as you can see
No matter how he tried he could not break free
And the worms ate into his brain
Hey you! out there on the road
Doing what you're told, can you help me
Hey you! out there beyond the wall
Breaking bottles in the hall, can you help me
Hey you! don't tell me there's no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall

 

 

Is There Anybody Out There?
(
Waters)

Is there anybody out there?

 

 

Nobody Home
(
Waters)

I've got a little black book with my poems in
I've got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in
When I'm a good dog they sometimes throw me a bone in
Elastic bands keeping my shoes on
Got these swollen hand blues
Got thirteen channels of shit on the T.V. to choose from
I've got electric light
And I've got second sight
I've got amazing powers of observation
And that is how I know
When I try to get through
On the telephone to you
They'll be nobody home

I've got the obligatory Hendrix perm
And the inevitable pinhole burns
All down in the front of my favourite satin shirt
I've got nicotine stains on my fingers
I've got a silver spoon on a chain
I've got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains
I've got wild staring eyes
I've got a strong urge to fly
But I've got nowhere to fly to
Ooooh babe when I pick up the phone
There's still nobody home
I've got a pair of Gohills boots
And I've got fading roots

 

 

 

Vera (Waters)

Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn?
Remember how she said
That we would meet again
Some sunny day

Vera! Vera!
What has become of you
Does anybody else in here feel the way I do

 

 

Bring The Boys Back Home
(
Waters)

Bring the boys back home
Bring the boys back home
Don't leave the children on their own
Bring the boys back home

 

 

Comfortably Numb
(Gilmour, Waters)

Hello,
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone at home?
Come on, now
I hear you're feeling down
Well I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again
Relax
I need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts

There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons
Now I got that feeling once again
I can't explain, you would not understand
This is not how I am
I have become comfortably numb

O.K.
Just a little pinprick
There'll be no more aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick
Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working. Good
That'll keep you going for the show
Come on it's time to go

There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown, the dream is gone
I have become comfortably numb

 

 

 

The Show Must Go On
(
Waters)

Oooh ma oooh pa
Does the show have to go on
Oooh pa take me home
Oooh ma let me go

There must be some mistake, I didn't mean to let them
Take away my soul, Am I too old is it too late
Oooh Ma Oooh Pa
Where has the feeling gone
Oooh Ma Oooh Pa
Will I remember the songs
The show must go on

In The Flesh
(
Waters)

So ya thought ya might like to go to the show
To feel the warm thrill of confusion
That space cadet glow
I've got some bad news for you sunshine
Pink isn't well he stayed back at the hotel
And they sent us along as a surrogate band
And we're gonna find out where you fans really stand
Are there any queers in the theater tonight
Get 'em up against the wall
There's one in the spotlight
He don't look right to me
Get him up against the wall
And that one looks Jewish
And that one's a coon
Who let all this riff raff into the room
There's one smoking a joint and
Another with spots
If I had my way
I'd have all of you shot

 

 

Run Like Hell
(
Gilmour, Waters)

You better make your face up in
Your favourite disguise
With your button down lips and your roller blind eyes
With your empty smile
And your hungry heart
Feel the bile rising from your guilty past
With your nerves in tatters
When the cockleshell shatters
And the hammers batter
Down your door
You better run

You better run all day
And run all night
And keep your dirty feelings
Deep inside, and if you're
Taking your girlfriend
Out tonight
You better park the car
Well out of sight
'Cause if they catch you in the back seat
Trying to pick her locks
They're gonna send you back to mother
In a cardboard box
You better run


 

 

Waiting For The Worms
(
Waters)

Ooooh you cannot reach me now
Ooooh no matter how you try
Goodbye cruel world it's over
Walk on by
Sitting in a bunker here behind my wall
Waiting for the worms to come
In perfect isolation here behind my wall
Waiting for the worms to come
Waiting to cut out the deadwood
Waiting to clean up the city
Waiting to follow the worms
Waiting to put on a black shirt
Waiting to weed out the weaklings
Waiting to smash in their windows
And kick in their doors
Waiting for the final solution
To strengthen the strain
Waiting to follow the worms
Waiting to turn on the showers
And fire the ovens
Waiting for the queers and the coons
And the reds and the Jews
Waiting to follow the worms
Would you like to see Britannia
Rule again my friend
All you have to do is follow the worms
Would you like to send our coloured cousins
Home again my friend
All you need to do is follow the worms

 

 

Stop (Waters)

Stop

I wanna go home
Take off this uniform
And leave the show
And I'm waiting here in this cell
Because I have to know
Have I been guilty all this time

 

 

The Trial
(
Waters, Ezrin)

Good morning worm your honour
The crown will plainly show
The prisoner who now stands before you
Was caught red handed showing feelings
Showing feelings of an almost human nature
This will not do

Call the schoolmaster
I always said he'd come to no good
In the end your honour
If they'd let me have my way I could
Have flayed him into shape
But my hands were tied
The bleeding hearts and artists
Let him get away with murder
Let me hammer him today

Crazy toys in the attic I am crazy, truly gone fishing
They must have taken my marbles away
Crazy toys in the attic I am crazy

Call the defendants wife
You little shit, you're in it now
I hope they throw away the key
You should have talked to me more often
Than you did, but no you had to
Go your own way, Have you broken any
Homes up lately?
"Just five minutes Worm your honour him and me alone"
Babe
Come to mother baby let me hold you in my arms
M'lord I never wanted him to get in any trouble
Why'd he ever have to leave me
Worm your honour let me take him home

Crazy over the rainbow I am crazy
Bars in the window
There must have been a door there in the wall
When I came in
Crazy over the rainbow he is crazy

The evidence before the court is
Incontravertable, there's no need for
The jury to retire
In all my years of judging
I have never heard before of
Someone more deserving
The full penalty of law
The way you made them suffer
Your exquisite wife and mother
Fills me with the urge to defecate
Since, my friend, you have revealed your
Deepest fear
I sentence you to be exposed before
Your peers
Tear down the wall

 

 

Outside The Wall
(
Waters)

All alone or in twos
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down
Outside the wall
Some hand-in-hand
And some gathered together in bands
The bleeding hearts and artists make their stand
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all, it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad bugger's wall
