Shine On You Crazy
Diamond (Parts 1-5)
Remember
when you were young,
You
shone like the sun.
Shine
on you crazy diamond.
Now
there's a look in your eyes,
Like
black holes in the sky.
Shine
on you crazy diamond.
You
were caught on the crossfire
Of
childhood and stardom,
Blown
on the steel breeze.
Come
on you target for faraway laughter,
Come
on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!
You
reached for the secret too soon,
You
cried for the moon.
Shine
on you crazy diamond.
Threatened
by shadows at night,
And
exposed in the light.
Shine
on you crazy diamond.
Well
you wore out your welcome
With
random percision,
Rode
on the steel breeze.
Come
on you raver, you seer of visions,
Come
on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!
Astronomy Domine
Lime
and limpid green, a second scene
A fight
between the blue you once knew.
Floating
down, the sound resounds
Around
the icy waters underground.
Jupiter
and Saturn, Oberon, Miranda and Titania.
Neptune,
Titan, Stars can frighten.
Blinding
signs flap,
Flicker,
flicker, flicker blam. Pow, pow.
Stairway
scare Dan dare who's there?
Lime
and limpid green, the sounds surronds
The
icy waters under
Lime
and limpid green, the sounds surronds
The
icy waters underground.
What Do You Want From Me
As you
look around this room tonight
Settle
in your seat and dim the lights
Do
you want my blood, do you want my tears
What
do you want
What
do you want from me
Should
I sing until I can't sing any more
Play
these strings until my fingers are raw
You're
so hard to please
What
do you want from me
Do you
think I know something you don't know
What
do you want from me
If
I don't promise you the answers would you go
What
do you want from me
Should
I stand out in the rain
Do
you want me to make a daisy chain for you
I'm
not the one you need
What
do you want from me
You
can have anything you want
You
can drift, you can dream, even walk on water
Anything
you want
You
can own everything you see
Sell
your soul for complete control
Is
that really what you need
You
can lose yourself this night
See
inside there is nothing to hide
Turn
and face the light
What
do you want from me
Learning To Fly
Into
the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched
to the point of no turning back
A flight
of fancy on a windswept field
Standing
alone my senses reeled
A fatal
attraction holding me fast, how
Can
I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can't
keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied
and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit, I
Ice
is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded
warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No
navigator to guide my way home
Unladened,
empty and turned to stone
A soul
in tension that's learning to fly
Condition
grounded but determined to try
Can't
keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied
and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Easy on the brakes. Take it easy. Its gonna roll this time.
Just hand the power gradually, and it...
Above
the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My
grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
Across
the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out
of the corner of my watering eye
A dream
unthreatened by the morning light
Could
blow this soul right through the roof of the night
There's
no sensation to compare with this
Suspended
animation, A state of bliss
Can't
keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied
and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
Keep Talking
For millions of years mankind lived just like the animals
Then something happenend which unleashed the power of our imagination
We learned to talk
There's
a silence surrounding me
I can't
seem to think straight
I'll
sit in the corner
No
one can bother me
I think
I should speak now ~~~~~ Why won't you talk to me
I can't
seem to speak now ~~~~~ You never talk to me
My
words won't come out right ~~~~ What are you thinking
I feel
like I'm drowning ~~~~~~ What are you feeling
I'm
feeling weak now ~~~~~~~ You never talk to me
But
I can't show my weakness ~~~~ What are you thinking
I sometimes
wonder ~~~~~~What are you feeling
Where do we go from here
It doesn't have to be like this
All we need to do is make sure we keep talking
Why
won't you talk to me ~~~~~~ I feel like I'm drowning
You
never talk to me ~~~~~~~ You know I can't breathe now
What
are you thinking ~~~~~~~ We're going nowhere
What
are you feeling ~~~~~~~~ We're going nowhere
Why
won't you talk to me
You
never talk to me
What
are you thinking
Where
do we go from here
It doesn't have to be like this
All we need to do is make sure we keep talking
Coming Back To Life
Where
were you when I was burned and broken
While
the days slipped by from my window watching
And
where were you when I was hurt and I was helpless
Because
the things you say and the things you do surround me
While
you were hanging yourself on someone else's words
Dying
to believe in what you heard
I was
staring straight into the shining sun
Lost
in thought and lost in time
While
the seeds of life and the seeds of change were planted
Outside
the rain fell dark and slow
While
I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime
I took
a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew
the moment had arrived
For
killing the past and coming back to life
I took
a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew
the waiting had begun
And
headed straight into the shining sun
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, dont 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 you 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, standing in the road
always
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.
[Click of TV being turned on]
"Well, only got an hour of daylight left. Better get started"
"Isnt it unsafe to travel at night?"
"It'll be a lot less safe to stay here. You're father's gunna pick up our
trail before long"
"Can Loca ride?"
"Yeah, I can ride... Magaret, time to go! Maigret, thank you for everything"
"Goodbye Chenga"
"Goodbye miss ..."
"I'll be back"
A Great Day For Freedom
On the
day the wall came down
They
threw the locks onto the ground
And
with glasses high we raised a cry for freedom had arrived
On the
day the wall cane down
The
Ship of Fools had finally run aground
Promises
lit up the night like paper doves in flight
I dreamed
you had left my side
No
warmth, not even pride remained
And
even though you needed me
It
was clear that I could not do a thing for you
Now
life devalues day by day
As
friends and neighbours turn away
And
there's a change that, even with regret, cannot be undone
Now
frontiers shift like desert sands
While
nations wash their bloodied hands
Of
loyalty, of history, in shades of gray
I woke
to the sound of drums
The
music played, the morning sun streamed in
I turned
and I looked at you
And
all but the bitted residue slipped away...slipped away
Sorrow
The
sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land
Plumes
of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky:
A man
lies and dreams of green fields and rivers,
But
awakes to a morning with no reason for waking
He's
haunted by the memory of a lost paradise
In
his youth or a dream, he can't be precise
He's
chained forever to a world that's departed
It's
not enough, it's not enough
His
blood has frozen & curdled with fright
His
knees have trembled & given way in the night
His
hand has weakened at the moment of truth
His
step has faltered
One
world, one soul
Time
pass, the river rolls
It's not enough it's not enough
And
he talks to the river of lost love and dedication
There's
an unceasing wind that blows through this night
High Hopes
Beyond
the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
Along
the Long Road and on down the Causeway
There
was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
The
grass was greener
Looking
beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
Encumbered
forever by desire and ambition
The
grass was greener

Breathe,

Long

Run,

For

On The Run (Instrumental)
[female announcer, announcing flights at airport, including 'Rome']
Time
Ticking
away the moments that make up a dull day
Tired
of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
So you
run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Every
year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
The Great Gig In The Sky (Instrumental)
"And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I
"If you can hear this whispering you are dying."
"I never said I was frightened of dying."

Money,

Any Colour You Like (Instrumental)
Brain Damage
The
lunatic is on the grass.
The
lunatic is in the hall.
And
if the dam breaks open many years too soon
The
lunatic is in my head.
And
if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
"I can't think of anything to say except...
Eclipse
All
that you touch
"There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact it's all dark."
Wish You Were Here
So,
so you think you can tell
And
did they get you to trade
How
I wish, how I wish you were here.
Comfortably Numb
Hello?
There
is no pain you are receding
O.K.
There
is no pain you are receding
Run Like Hell
"Pink Floyd, Pink Floyd"
Run,
Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run,
Run,
Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run,
"Hey, open up! HaHaHaHaHaaaaaaaaaa!
His hand has faltered
------------------
And
silent replies that swirl invitation
Flow
dark and troubled to an oily sea
A grim
intimation of what is to be
And
there's dust in my eyes, that blinds my sight
And
silence that speaks so much louder that words,
Of
promises broken
In
a world of magnets and miracles
Our
thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
The
ringing of the division bell had begun
Do
they still meet there by the Cut
Running
before times took our dreams away
Leaving
the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To
a life consumed by slow decay
The
light was brighter
When
friends surrounded
The
nights of wonder
To
a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Steps
taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dragged
by the force of some sleeping tide
At
a higher altitude with flag unfurled
We
reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world
There's
a hunger still unsatisfied
Our
weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though
down this road we've been so many times
The
light was brighter
The
taste was sweeter
The
nights of wonder
With
friends surrounded
The
dawn mist glowing
The
water flowing
The
endless river
Forever
and ever
We
dont need no thought control
No
dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers
leave them kids alone
Hey!
Teachers! 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.
We
dont need no thought control
No
dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers
leave them kids alone
Hey!
Teachers! 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.
"If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding. How can you

"You! Yes, you behind the bikesheds, stand still laddy!"
over the edge for yonks, been working me buns off for bands..."
most of us...very hard to explain why you're mad, even
if you're not mad..."
Don't
be afraid to care.
Leave
but don't leave me.
Look
around and choose your own ground.
And
smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And
all you touch and all you see
Is
all your life will ever be.
Dig
that hole, forget the sun,
And
when at last the work is done
Don't
sit down it's time to dig another one.
But
only if you ride the tide
And
balanced on the biggest wave
You
race towards an early grave.
"Live for today, gone tomorrow, that's me, HaHaHaaaaaa!"
You
fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking
around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting
for someone or something to show you the way.
You
are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And
then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No
one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.
Racing
around to come up behind you again.
The
sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter
of breath and one day closer to death.
Plans
that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging
on in quiet desperation is the English way
The
time is gone, the song is over,
Thought
I'd something more to say.
don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime."
Get
a good job with good pay and you're okay.
Money,
it's a gas.
Grab
that cash with both hands and make a stash.
New
car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think
I'll buy me a football team.
I'm
all right Jack keep your hands off of my stack.
Money,
it's a hit.
Don't
give me that do goody good bullshit.
I'm
in the high-fidelity first class traveling set
And
I think I need a Lear jet.
Share
it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie.
Money,
so they say
Is
the root of all evil today.
But
if you ask for a raise it's no surprise that they're
giving
none away.
"Yes, absolutely in the right!"
"I certainly was in the right!"
"You was definitely in the right. That geezer was cruising for a
bruising!"
"Yeah!"
"Why does anyone do anything?"
"I don't know, I was really drunk at the time!"
"I was just telling him, he couldn't get into number 2. He was asking
why he wasn't coming up on freely, after I was yelling and
screaming and telling him why he wasn't coming up on freely.
It came as a heavy blow, but we sorted the matter out"
And
after all we're only ordinary men.
Me,
and you.
God
only knows it's noz what we would choose to do.
Forward
he cried from the rear
and
the front rank died.
And
the general sat and the lines on the map
moved
from side to side.
Black
and blue
And
who knows which is which and who is who.
Up
and down.
But
in the end it's only round and round.
Haven't
you heard it's a battle of words
The
poster bearer cried.
Listen
son, said the man with the gun
There's
room for you inside.
sharp, shock, they won't do it again. Dig it? I mean he get off
lightly, 'cos I would've given him a thrashing - I only hit him once!
It was only a difference of opinion, but really...I mean good manners
don't cost nothing do they, eh?"
It
can't be helped but there's a lot of it about.
With,
without.
And
who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about?
Out
of the way, it's a busy day
I've
got things on my mind.
For
the want of the price of tea and a slice
The
old man died.
The
lunatic is on the grass.
Remembering
games and daisy chains and laughs.
Got
to keep the loonies on the path.
The
lunatics are in my hall.
The
paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And
every day the paper boy brings more.
And
if there is no room upon the hill
And
if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
I'll
see you on the dark side of the moon.
The
lunatic is in my head
You
raise the blade, you make the change
You
re-arrange me 'til I'm sane.
You
lock the door
And
throw away the key
There's
someone in my head but it's not me.
You
shout and no one seems to hear.
And
if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll
see you on the dark side of the moon.
I think it's marvelous! HaHaHa!"
All
that you see
All
that you taste
All
you feel.
All
that you love
All
that you hate
All
you distrust
All
you save.
All
that you give
All
that you deal
All
that you buy,
beg,
borrow or steal.
All
you create
All
you destroy
All
that you do
All
that you say.
All
that you eat
And
everyone you meet
All
that you slight
And
everyone you fight.
All
that is now
All
that is gone
All
that's to come
and
everything under the sun is in tune
but
the sun is eclipsed by the moon.
Heaven
from Hell,
Blue
skys from pain.
Can
you tell a green field
From
a cold steel rail?
A smile
from a veil?
Do
you think you can tell?
Your
heros for ghosts?
Hot
ashes for trees?
Hot
air for a cool breeze?
Cold
comfort for change?
And
did you exchange
A walk
on part in the war
For
a lead role in a cage?
We're
just two lost souls
Swimming
in a fish bowl,
Year
after year,
Running
over the same old ground.
What
have we found?
The
same old fears.
Wish
you were here.
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'll
need some information first.
Just
the basic facts.
Can
you show me where it hurts?
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 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.
Just
a little pinprick.
There'll
be no more aaaaaaaaah!
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.
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.
I have
become comfortably numb.
Run,
Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run.
You
better make your face up in
Your
favorite 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 conchshell shatters
And
the hammers batter
Down
the door.
You'd
better run.
Run,
Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run.
You
better sleep all day
And
run all night.
Keep
your dirty feelings
Deep
inside.
And
if you're taking your girlfriend
Out
tonight
You'd
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.
[sound of car skidding, followed by loud scream]
