The Wall [Album]

Pink Floyd
1. When the Tigers Broke Free
--------------------------
 
It was just before dawn one miserable morning in black forty-four
 
When the forward commander was told to sit tight,
 
When he asked that his men be withdrawn
 
And the generals gave thanks, as the other ranks
 
Held back the enemy tanks for a while
 
And the Anzio Bridgehead was held for the price
 
Of a few hundred ordinary lives
 
 
 
And kind old King George sent Mother a note when he heard that Father was
gone
 
It was, I recall, in the form of a scroll with gold leaf and all
 
And I found it one day in a drawer of old photographs hidden away
 
And my eyes still grow damp to remember
 
His Majesty signed with his own rubber stamp
 
It was dark all around, there was frost in the ground
 
When the Tigers broke free
 
And no-one survived from the Royal Fusiliers, Company "C"
 
They were all left behind, most of them dead - the rest of them dying
 
And that's how the high command took my daddy from me
 
 
 
 
2. 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
 
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
 
 
 
 
 
3. 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
 
Ooooooooooooh babe
 
Oooooooh baby blue
 
Ooooooooooh ooooooh 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
 
Dont 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
 
N.C.
As you claw the thin ice
 
 
4. Another Brick in the Wall part 1
------- ----- -- --- ---- ---- -
 
Daddy's flown across the ocean
 
Leaving just a memory
 
A snapshot 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
 
 
 
 
5. 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 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
 
 
 
 
 
6. Another Brick in the Wall part 2
------- ----- -- --- ---- ---- -
 
We don't need no education
 
We don't need no thought control
 
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
 
Teachers leave them kids alone
 
Hey teacher leave them kids alone
 
All in all it's just another brick in the wall
 
All in all you're just another brick in the wall
 
 
 
 
7. Mother
------
 
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
 
Ooh ah 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
 
Ooh ah, 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 enough for me ?
 
Mother do you think she's dangerous for me ?
 
Mother will she tear your little boy apart ?
 
Ooh ah, 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
 
Ooooh Babe Ooooh Babe Ooooh Babe, you'll always be a baby to me.
 
N.C. C
Mother, did it need to be so high.
 
 
 
 
8. Goodbye Blue Sky
------- ---- ---
 
Ooooooooooooooooooh
 
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 ?
 
Ooooooooooooooooooh
 
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
 
 
 
 
9. What Shall We Do Now ? (Empty Spaces has no chords, just bass.
---- ----- -- -- --- - I don't have the chords to What Shall ...)
 
What shall we use to fill the empty spaces
Where waves of hunger roar
Shall we set out across this sea of faces
In search of more and more applause
Shall we buy a new guitar
Shall we drive a more powerful car
Shall we work straight - through the night
Shall we get into fights
Leave the lights on
Drop bombs
Do tours of the East
Contract diseases
Bury bones
Break up homes
Send flowers by phone
Take to drink
Go to shrinks
Give up meat
Rarely sleep
Keep people as pets
Train dogs
Race rats
Fill the attic with cash
Bury treasure
Store up leisure
But never relax at all
With out backs to the wall
 
 
 
10. Young Lust
----- ----
 
I am just a new boy
 
A 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
 
Oooh Babe set me free
 
Ooooooooh I need a dirty woman
 
Ooooooooh I need a dirty girl.
 
 
 
 
11. One of my Turns
--- -- -- ----
 
Day after day, love turns grey
 
Like the skin of a dying man
 
And 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
 
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?
 
 
 
 
12. Don't Leave Me Now
----- ----- -- ---
 
Ooooh Babe
 
Dm7-5
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
 
Dm7-5
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
 
Fmmaj7 Dm7-5
Don't leave me now
 
How can you treat me this way?
 
 
Running away
 
Ooooooh babe
 
Why are you running away? Oooooooh
 
 
 
 
13. 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 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 wall
 
 
 
 
14. 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.
 
 
 
 
15. 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 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.
 
 
 
 
 
16. Is There Anybody Out There?
-- ----- ------- --- ------
 
Is there anybody out there?
 
 
 
 
 
17. 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 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
 
 
 
 
17. Vera
----
 
G(no 3rd) D(no 3rd) Em
Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn ?
 
C(no 3rd) D(no 3rd) G D C(no 3rd)
Remember how she said that we would meet again
 
Em Am Em(no 3rd) Am D G C Em
Some sunny day
 
G(no 3rd)
Vera! Vera!
 
What has become of you ?
 
C D(no 3rd) Em Bm C/E Em
Does anybody else in here feel the way I do?
 
 
 
 
18. Bring the Boys Back Home
----- --- ---- ---- ----
 
Bring the boys back home
 
Bring the boys back home
 
Don't leave the children on their own
 
Bring the boys back home
 
 
 
 
19. 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 your feeling down
 
I can ease your pain
 
And 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 can't hear what you're saying
 
When I was a child I had a fever
 
My hands felt just like two ballons
 
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.
 
 
 
I have become comfortably numb.
 
 
O.K.
 
Just a little pinprick
 
There'll be no more aaaaaaaah!
 
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 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
 
And I have become comfortably numb.
 
 
 
 
20. The Show Must Go On
--- ---- ---- -- --
 
 
Oooh Ma Oooh Pa, must the show 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?
 
Oooh ah - The show must go on.
 
 
 
 
21. 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
 
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 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
 
 
 
 
22. Run Like Hell
--- ---- ----
 
 
 
 
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
 
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
 
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
 
 
 
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
 
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, 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
 
'Cos if they catch you in the backseat
 
 
Trying to pick her locks
 
They're gonna send you back to mother
 
 
In a cardboard box
 
You better run.
 
 
 
 
 
23. Waiting for the Worms
------- --- --- -----
 
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 a--gain my friend ?
 
All you need to do is follow the worms.
 
 
 
 
24. Stop
----
 
(allthewaythroughthesong)
Stop
 
I wanna go home
 
Take off this uniform
 
And leave the show
 
And I'm waiting in this cell
 
Because I have to know
 
Have I been guilty all this time
 
 
 
 
25. 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 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 cra---zy, truly gone fishing
 
They must have taken my marbles away
 
Crazy toys in the attic I am cra---zy
 
 
Call the defendants wife
 
You little shit, you're in it now
 
F7-9
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'lud 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 cra---zy
 
Bars in the window
 
There must have been a door there in the wall
 
 
When I came in
 
Crazy over the rainbow he is cra---zy
 
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.
 
 
 
 
25. 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 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
