The Wall
The Wall

In the Flesh?

So you
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 want to find out what's behind these cold eyes
You'll just have to claw your way through this
Disguise


The Thin Ice

Momma 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
Ooooh babe

If you should go skating
On the thin ice of modern life
Dragging on 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 snapshot in the family album
Daddy, what else did you leave 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 in 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 went home at night their fat and
Psychopathic wives would thrash them
Within inches if their lives


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 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

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
Mother am I really dying (is it just a waste of time?)

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

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

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


Goodbye Blue Sky

look mommy.....there's an airplane up in the sky

Oooooooooooooooooooooh
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
Unfurled 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
Goodbye


If you were lucky enough to see the live show
you got to hear this.

What Shall we do now

What shall we use to fill the empty spaces
Where waves of hunger grow
Shall we set out across this sea of faces
In search of more and more and more
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
Race rats
Fill the attic with cash
Bury treasure
Store up leisure
But never relax at all
With our backs to the wall


Empty Spaces

What shall we use to fill the empty spaces
Where we used to talk
How shall I fill the final places
How should I complete the wall


Young Lust

I am just a new boy
Stranger in this town
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 (cold) woman in this desert land
Make me feel like a real man
Take this rock and roll refugee
Oooooh 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 skin of a dying man
And night after night we pretend it's all right
But I have growm older and you have grown colder
And nothing is very much fun anymore

And I 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 favorite 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 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

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?
Ooooooh Babe


Another Brick in the Wall  part 3

I don't need no arms around me
And 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 bricks in the wall
All in all you were all just bricks in the wall


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
