We certainly have an unspoken understanding
But a lot of things unsaid as well
We shout and argue and fight, and work it on out
The sum is greater than the parts |
Remember when you were young?
You shone like the sun
Shine on you crazy diamond!
Now theres a look in your eyes
Like black holes in the sky
Shine on you crazy diamond!
You were caught on the cross fire of childhood and stardom
Blown on the steel breeze
Come on, you target for faraway laughter
Come on, you stranger, you... |
The path you tread is narrow and the drop is sheer and very high
The ravens all are watching from a vantage point nearby
Apprehension creeping like a tube-train up your spine
Will the tightrope reach the end? Will the final couplet rhyme?
And it’s high time, Cymbaline
It’s high time, Cymbaline
Please, wake me
A butterf... |
The black and green scarecrow as everyone knows
Stood with a bird on his hat and straw everywhere
He didn’t care
He stood in a field where barley grows
His head did no thinking
His arms didn’t move except when the wind cut up rough
And mice ran around on the ground
He stood in a field where barley grows
The black and g... |
Brezhnev took Afghanistan
Begin took Beirut
Galtieri took the Union Jack
And Maggie, over lunch one day
Took a cruiser with all hands
Apparently, to make him give it back |
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 tou... |
Dog Barking
I was in the kitchen
Seamus, that’s the dog, was outside
Well, I was in the kitchen
Seamus, my old hound, was outside
Well you know, the sun sinks slowly
But my old hound dog sat right down and cried |
Jesus, Jesus, what’s it all about?
Trying to clout these little ingrates into shape
When I was their age all the lights went out
There was no time to whine and mope about
And even now part of me flies over
Dresden at angels one five
Though they’ll never fathom it behind my
Sarcasm desperate memories lie
Sweetheart, swe... |
Marigolds are very much in love
But he doesn’t mind
Picking up his sister, he makes his way into the see-saw land
All the way
She smiles
She goes up while he goes down, down
Sits on a stick in the river
Laughter in his sleep
Sister’s throwing stones, hoping for a hit
He doesn’t know so then
She goes up while he goes do... |
Button your lip and don’t let the shield slip
Take a fresh grip on your bullet proof mask
And if they try to break down your disguise with their questions
You can hide, hide, hide
Behind paranoid eyes
You put on our brave face and slip over the road for a jar
Fixing your grin as you casually lean on the bar
Laughing to... |
When you’re one of the few to land on your feet
What do you do to make ends meet?
Make em mad, make em sad, make em add two and two
Or make em me, or make em you, make em do what you want them to
Make em laugh, make em cry, make em lay down and die |
Aye an a bit o mackerel, fiddler, rack and fear
And I rutted down by the hade and the furrow
Well, I slipped me in a flop and hit down and I shied
And I cried, cried, cried
The fear of fallin down aft taken, never back to rise
And then cried Mary! and I tucked up
Wi a Claymore out and about
And I run down, down the mec... |
They disembarked in 45
And no-one spoke and no-one smiled
There were too many spaces in the line
Gathered at the cenotaph
All agreed with the hand on heart
To sheath the sacrificial Knifes
But now
She stands upon Southampton dock
With her handkerchief
And her summer frock clings
To her wet body in the rain
In quiet des... |
Dogs of war and men of hate
With no cause, we don’t discriminate
Discovery is to be disowned
Our currency is flesh and bone
Hell opened up and put on sale
Gather round and haggle
For hard cash we will lie and deceive
Even our Masters don’t know the webs we weave
One world, it’s a battleground
One world, and we will sma... |
Bridges burning gladly merging with the shadow
Flickering between the lines
Stolen moments floating softly on the air
Born on wings of fire and climbing higher
Ancient bonds are breaking
Moving on and changing sides
Dreaming of a new day
Cast aside the other way
(Magic vision stirring
Kindled by and burning
Flames rise... |
Stay and help me to end the day
And if you don’t mind
We’ll break a bottle of wine
Stick around and maybe we’ll put one down
Cause I wanna find what lies behind those eyes
Midnight blue
Burning gold
A yellow moon
Is growing cold
I rise, looking through my morning eyes
Surprised to find you by my side
Rack my brain and ... |
One, two, free, four!
The memories of a man in his old age
Are the deeds of a man in his prime
You shuffle in gloom of the sickroom
And talk to yourself as you die
Life is a short, warm moment
And death is a long, cold rest
You get your chance to try in the twinkling of an eye
Eighty years, with luck, or even less
So a... |
A restless eye across a weary room
A glazed look and I was on the road to ruin
The music played and played as we whirled without end
No hint, no word her honour to defend
I will, I will she sighed to my request
And then she tossed her mane while my resolve was put to the test
Then drowned in desire, our souls on fire
I... |
“People often ask me about the voices on Dark Side. I was trying to gather audio snippets to mix into segues on Dark Side. Rather than interviewing people I came up with the idea of writing a series of questions on cards. The cards would be in a stack on a conductors stand in front of a mike. We would scour Abbey Road ... |
“Icy wind of night be gone this is not your domain”
In the sky a bird was heard to cry
Misty morning whisperings and gentle stirring sounds
Belied the deathly silence that lay all around
Hear the lark and harken to the barking of the dog fox
Gone to ground
See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water
And a... |
Gotta be crazy, you gotta be mean
Gotta keep your shoes and your car clean
Gotta keep smiling, you gotta keep fit
You gotta keep drinking, you gotta eat shit
You gotta be small to be a big shot
Gotta eat meat to stay at the top
You gotta be trusted, you gotta tell lies
Gotta be able to narrow your eyes
You gotta believ... |
In yellow shoes I get the blues
Though I walk the streets with my plastic feet
With my blue velvet trousers, make me feel pink
Theres a kind of stink about blue velvet trousers
In my paisley shirt I look a jerk
And my turquoise waistcoat is quite out of sight
But oh oh my haircut looks so bad
Vegetable man, where are y... |
In a churchyard by a river
Lazing in the haze of midday
Laughing in the grasses and the graves
Yellow bird, you are not lone
In singing and in flying on
In laughing and in leaving
Willow weeping in the water
Waving to the river daughters
Swaying in the ripples and the reeds
On a trip to Cirrus Minor
Saw a crater in the... |
Breathe, breathe in the air
Dont be afraid to care
Leave, but dont leave me
Look around
Choose your own ground
Long you live and high you fly
And smiles youll give and tears youll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be
Run, rabbit run
Dig that hole, forget the sun
And when at last the work ... |
One sound, one single sound
One kiss, one single kiss
A face outside the window pane
However did it come to this?
A man who ran: a child who cried
A girl who heard, a voice that lied
The sun that burned a fiery red
The vision of an empty bed
The use of force, he was so tough
She’ll soon submit, she’s had enough
The mar... |
Speech has allowed the communication of ideas, enabling human beings to work together to build the impossible
Mankinds greatest achievements have come about by talking
Our greatest hopes could become reality in the future, with the technology at our disposal, the possibilities are unbounded

Got a flip-top pack of cigarettes in her pocket
Feeling good at the top, shopping in sharp shoes
Walking in the sunshine town
Feeling very cool
But the butchers and the bakers in the supermarket stores
Getting everything she wants from the supermarket stores
Apples and oranges
Apples and oranges
Cornering neatly she tr... |
I was standing by the Nile
When I saw the lady smile
I would take her out for a while
For a while
Like tears left like a child
How her golden hair was blowing wild
Then she spread her wings to fly
For to fly
Soaring high above the breezes
Going always where she pleases
She will make it to the islands in the sun
I will ... |
Scream thy last scream old woman with a casket
Blam blam your pointers point your pointers
Waddle with apples to crunchy Mrs. Stores
Shell be scrubbing bubbles on all fours

Fling your arms madly old lady with a daughter
Flat tops of houses, mouses, houses

When the child-like view of the world went, nothing replaced it... Nothing replaced it… Nothing replaced it…
I do not like being asked to... I do not like being asked to... I do not like being asked to...
Other people replaced it... Someone who knows |
Following the path as it leads towards
The darkness in the north
Weary stranger’s faces show their sympathy
They’ve seen that hope before
And if you want to stay for a little bit
Rest your aching limbs for a little bit
For you the night is beckoning
And now you can’t delay
You hear the night birds calling you
But you c... |
Come on, my friends
Let’s make for the hills
They say there’s gold and I’m looking for thrills
You can get your hands on whatever we find
Because I’m only coming along for the ride
Well, you go your way
I’ll go mine
I don’t care if we get there on time
Everybody’s searching for something, they say
I’ll get my kicks on ... |
Hey Eugene, this is Henry McClean
And Ive finished my beautiful flying machine
And Im ringing to say that Im leaving and maybe
Youd like to fly with me and hide with me, baby
Isnt it strange how little we change?
Isnt it sad were insane?
Playing the games that we know end in tears
The games weve been playing for thousa... |
Nobody knows where you are, how near or how far
Shine on you crazy diamond
Pile on many more layers and ill be joining you there
Shine on you crazy diamond
And well bask in the shadow of yesterdays triumph
And sail on the steel breeze
Come on you boy child, you winner and loser
Come on you miner for truth and delusion,... |
I have always been here
I have always looked out from behind these eyes
It feels like more than a lifetime
Feels like more than a lifetime
Sometimes I get tired of the waiting
Sometimes I get tired of being in here
Is this the way that its always been?
Could it ever have been different?
Do you ever get tired of the wai... |
Last night I had too much to drink
Sitting in a club with so many fools
Playing to rules
Trying to impress but feeling rather empty
I had another drink
What a way to spend that evening
They all turn up with their friends
Playing the game
Theyre in the scene I should have been
Far away
Getting up, I feel as if I’m rem... |
We smile and smile
We smile and smile
Laughter echoes in your eyes
We climb and climb
We climb and climb
Footfalls softly in the pines
We cry and cry
We cry and cry
Sadness passes in a while
We roll and roll
We roll and roll
Help me roll away the stone |
All is love, is all I am
A ball is all I am
Im so new compared to you
And I am very small
Warm glow, moon bloom
Always need a little more room
Waiting here seems like years
Never seen the light of day
All around I hear strange sounds
Come gurgling in my ear
Red the light and dark the night
I feel my dawn is near
Warm g... |
Oh my, girl sitting in the sun
Go buy, candy and a currant bun
I like, to see you run
Like that......
Oooh, dont talk to me
Please, just fuck with me
Please, you know Im feeling frail
Its true, sun shining very bright
Its you, who Im gonna love tonight
Ice cream, taste good in the afternoon
Ice cream, taste good if you... |
Im so afraid
Of all the mistakes that Ive made
Shaking every time that I awake
I feel like a cardboard cut-out man
So build me a time
When the characters rhyme
And the story line is kind
Ive aged and aged since the first page
Ive lived every line that you wrote
Take me down, take me down
From the shelf above your head

I will always be here
I will always look out from behind these eyes
It’s only a lifetime
It’s only a lifetime
It’s only a lifetime |
Come in, sit down
Can you show me where it hurts
Try and tell me in your own words
I must seem very old
But I was young once too
Ive seen many others like you
I always say exactly the same thing
There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move bu... |
Raving and drooling, I fell on his neck with a scream
He had a whole lot of terminal shock in his eye
Thats what you get for pretending the rest are not real
Babbling and snapping at far away flies
He will zig zag his way back through memories of boredom and pain
How does it feel to be empty and angry and spaced
Split ... |
Wasting my time
Resting my mind
And I’ll never pine
For the sad days and the bad days
When we was workin’ from nine to five
And if you don’t mind
I’ll spend my time
Here by the fire side
In the warm light of the love in her eyes
And if you don’t mind
I’ll spend my time
Here by the fire side
In the warm light of the lov... |
Pass the tequila, Manuel
Listen, gringo, laugh at my lisp and I kill you
I think
This Spanish music
It sets my soul on fire
Lovely señorita
Your eyes are like stars
Your teeth are like pearls
Your ruby lips |
Listen all you girlies
Even though I havent met you
Gonna catch you soon
In my butterfly net
Youd better watch out
Sometimes when I watch you
I stretch out my hand to touch you
Cause it drives my me wild
To see you flutter by
You butterfly
I wont squeeze you dead
Aiming through your head
I just want your love
I won’t w... |
You staggered away from those desperate days
Leaving of a trail of fear and degradation
Went downtown, he loitered around
In front of the flea pit by the railway station
Deep down next to his heart
In the inside pocket of his cheap leather jacket
He secretly fingers
A dog-eared card that read
Ooh, I need a dirty woman

It would be so nice
It would be so nice
It would be so nice
To meet, sometime
Everybody wakes, and in the morning
Hot tea and cant stop yawning
Pass the butter please
Have you ever read the Daily Standard?
Reading all about the plane thats landed
Upside down?
And no one knows what I did today
There can be no other way

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell
Blue skies from pain?
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange

Following the path as it leads towards
The darkness in the North
Weary strangers faces show their sympathy
Theyve seen that hope before
But if you want to stay for a little bit
Rest your aching limbs for a little bit
Before you, the night is beckoning
And you know you cant delay
You hear the night birds calling you

We dont need your adulation
We dont need your starry gaze
How the years have come between us
You should have seen them in the early days
Should have seen them in the early days
All in all, its just another brick in the wall
All in all, its just another brick in the wall
They dont need your reminiscing
They dont need yo... |
There was a boy whose name was Jim
His friends, they were very good to him
They gave him tea, and cakes and jam
And slices of delicious ham
Oh Mother tell me more
Whydyou have to leave me there
Hanging in my infant air, waiting
You only have to read the lines of
Scribbly black and everything shines
The chief defect of ... |

I’d love to, love to, love to, baby you know

I’d love to, love to, love to, love to

Come on, come on, hold me tight
Well, I’d love to, love to, love to
But I got
Flat feet, fallen arches
Baggy knees and a broken frame

Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves in labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant time comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and summery
And no one call us to the land
And no one knows the wheres or whys
But something stirs and something tries

I dont need no education
I dont need no flexophone
Your dark sarcasm in the classroom
So teacher leave them kids alone
All in all youre just another brick in the wall |
Schoolboy, schoolboy, did you hear what I said?
How am I supposed to make you see the light?
Its hard enough to sleepwalk through the day
Without some creepy little boy like you
Bombarding my lonely shell
Glimpses of half-open doors
Gleams in the night that I might well have followed myself
Teacher, teacher, you might ... |
Well, Im a King Bee
Buzzing around your hive
Yes, Im a King Bee, child
Buzzing around your hive
I can make good honey
Let me come inside

To buzz all night long

To buzz all night long
When you hear me buzz, little girl
You know some stingings going on
Ill sting

Could I have eggs, sausage, chips & beans and a tea?
So, so you think you can tell

Did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts
Hot ashes for trees

Bo Diddley was a private eye
Hand was fast and his I.Q. high
D.A. said Double O, you wont last
Slow down boy, you living too fast
Well, Double O had a Cadillac
Machine guns and a bullet-proof back
Engine taken from a 707
Sounds like a sure way to get into heaven
In his pocket, 5 pounds of lead
Keep Bo Diddley from gett... |
