"THE WALL" In The Flesh. So ya thought you 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'd like to find out what's behind these cold eyes You'll just have to claw your way through the disguise. The Thin Ice 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 babe, ooooh baby blue Oooooh 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 1. 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'you 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. 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 Exposing every weakness However carefully hidden by the kid But in the town it was well known When they got home at night Their fat psychopathic wives Would thrash them within inches of their lives Another Brick In The Wall. Part 2. We don't need no education We don't need no self control No dark sarcasm in the classroom Teacher, leave those 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. Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb Mother do you think they'll like this 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 on the firing line Mother am I really dying Hush now baby don't you cry Mamma's gonna make all of your nightmares come true Mamma gonna put all her fears into you Mamma gonna keep you right here under her wing She won't let you fly but she might let you sing Mamma will keep baby cosy and warm Ooooh babe, oooooh babe, oooooh babe Of course Mamma'll help build the wall Hush now baby, baby don't you cry Mamma's gonna check out all your girlfriends for you Mamma won't let anyone dirty get through Mamma's gonna wait up until you get in Mamma will always find out where you've been Mamma's gonna keep you healthy and clean Oooooh babe, oooooh babe. ooooooh babe You'll always be a baby to me Mother did it need to be so high? Goodbye Blue Sky. Ooooooooooooooh 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 new world Unfurled beneath a clear blue sky Ooooooooooooooh 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. What shall I use to fill the empty spaces Where we used to talk How shall I fill the final places How shall I complete the wall? Young Lust. I am just a poor boy A stranger in this land Where are all the good times Who's gonna show this stranger around? Oooooooh, I need a dirty woman Oooooooh, I need a dirty girl Will some woman in this desert land Make me feel like a real man Take this rock and roll refugee Oooh babe set me free› Oooooooh, I need a dirty woman Oooooooh, I need a dirty girl One of my Turns. Day after day, love turns grey Like the sking on a dying man And night after night We pretend it's alright 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 tornique, dry as a funeral drum Run to the bedroom in the suitcase on the lef› You'll find my favourite axe Don't look so frightened This is just a passing phase, one of my bad days Would you like to watch tv 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 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. Oooooh 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 Oooooh 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 Oooooh babe, don't leave me now How can you treat me this way, running away I need you babe Why are you running away, ooooooh babe Another Brick In The Wall. Part 3. 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 need anything at all No don't think I'll need anything at all All in all it was all just bricks in the wall All in all you were all just bricks in the wal Goodbye Cruel World. 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. 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 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 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, don't tell me there's no hope at all Together we stand, divided we fall Is There Anybody Out There? Is there anybody out there? Nobody Home. 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 I got elastic bands keeping my shoes on Got those swollen hand blues Got thirteen channels of shit on the tv to chose from I've got electric light and I 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, there'll be nobody home I've got the obligatory Hendrix perm And the inevitable pin hole burns All down 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 got nowhere to fly to Oooooh babe, when I pick up the phone There's still nobody home I got a pair of Gohills boots and I've got fading out roots Vera. 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 Bring the boys back home Don't leave the children on their own Bring the boys back home Comfortably Numb. 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 I can ease your pain, get you on your feet again Relax, I'll 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 smoke on the horizon You are only coming through in waves Your lips move but I cannot hear what you're saying When I was a child I had a fever My hands felt just like two balloons Now I've 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›kay, just a little pin prick, there'll be no more aaaaaah But you may feel a little sick Can you stand up, I do believe it's working, good That'll keep you going through the show Come on it's time to go There is no pain you are receding A distant ship smoke on the horizon You are only coming through in waves Your lips move but I cannot 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 has grown, the dream has gone I have become comfortably numb The Show Must Go On. Ooooooh Ma, oooooooh Pa, must the show go on? Oooooh Pa, take me home Oooooh 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? Ooooooh Ma, oooooooh Pa, where has the feeling gone Will I remember the song? The show must go on In The Flesh. So ya thought ya might like to go to the show To feel the warm thrill of confusion that Space cadet glow Well 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 We're gonna find out where you fans really stand Are there any queers in the theatre 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 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 them shot Run Like Hell. 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 cockle shell shatters And the hammers batter down the door You better run You better run all day and run all night And keep your dirty feelings deep inside And if you take your girlfriend out tonight You better park the car well out of sight Cos 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'd better run Waiting For The Worms. Ooooooh you cannot reach me now, Ooooooh no matter how you try Goodbye cruel world it's over, walk on by Sitting in the 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 dead wood Waiting to clean up the city Waiting to follow the worms Waiting to put on the blackstuff 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, 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 have to do is follow the worms Stop. Stop, I wanna go home Take off this uniforms and leave the show And I'm waiting in this cell because I have to know Have I been guilty all this time The Trial. 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 school master I always said he'd come to no good in the end your honour If they'd let me have my way I could've flayed him into shape But my hands were tied the bleeding hearts and artistes Let him get away with murder, let me hammer him today Crazy, toys in the attic I am crazy Surely gone fishing, they must have taken my marbles away When I came in (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 Baaaaaabe, 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 tek 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 incontrovertable, 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. All alone or in twos, the ones who really love you Walk up and down outside the wall Some hand in hand, some gathered together in bands The bleeding hearts and the 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 buggers wall. Lyrics by Roger Waters
