Lyrics |
|
1.
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 wanna find out what's behind these cold eyes? You'll just have to claw your way through the disguise |
|
2.
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 Ooohh 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 from 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 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 |

The Happiest Days of Our Lives
|
|
When we grew up and went to school There were certain teachers who would Hurt the children anyway they could By pouring their derision Upon anything we did And 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 |

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 Teacher, 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 We don't need no education We don't need no thought control No dark sarcasm in the classroom Teacher, leave them kids alone Hey teacher, leave those kids alone All in all you're 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 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 cozy and warm Oh babe, oh babe, oh 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 to me Mother will she tear your little boy apart 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 until you get in Mama will always find out where you've been Mama's gonna keep you healthy and clean Oh babe, oh babe, oh babe You'll always be a baby to me Mother, did it need to be so high |

Goodbye Blue Sky
|
|
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 |
|

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 A stranger in this town Where are all the good times Who's gonna show this stranger around I need a dirty woman 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 Oh babe, set me free I need a dirty woman I need a dirty girl |

One of My Turns
|
|
Day after day, love turns gray Like the skin on 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 any more And I can feel One of all 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 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 |
|
11.
Don't Leave Me Now
|
|
Oh 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 Oh 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 Oh babe Don't leave me now How can you treat me this way Running away Oh babe Why are you running away Oh 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 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 |
|
13.
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 aisle, With itchy feet and fading smile, 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, 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. |

Nobody Home
|
|
I got a little black book with my poems in Got a bag, got a toothbrush and a comb When I'm a good dog they sometimes throw me a bone I got elastic bands keeping my shoes on Got those swollen hands blues Got thirteen channels of shit on the TV to choose from I got electric light And I got second sight I 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 got the obligatory Hendrix perm And the inevitable pinhole burns All down the front of my favorite satin shirt I got nicotine stains on my fingers I got a silver spoon on a chain Got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains I've got wild, staring eyes And I got a strong urge to fly But I got nowhere to fly to Oh babe, when I pick up the phone There's still nobody home I got a pair of Gohill's boots And I got fading 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 |

Comfortably Numb
|
|
Hello Is there anybody in there Just nod if you can hear me Is there anyone home Come on, now I hear you're feeling down Well, I can ease your pain Get you on your feet again Relax I 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's 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 Ok Just a little pinprick There'll be no more ah But you may feel a little sick Can you stand up I do believe it's working, good That'll keep you going for the show Come on, it's time to go There is no pain, you are receding A distant ship's 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 |
|
20.
The Show Must Go On
|
|
Oh Ma, oh Pa Does the show go on Oh Pa, take me home Oh Ma, let me go There must be some mistake I didn't meant to let them take away my soul Am I too old, is it too late Oh Ma, oh Pa Where has the feeling gone Oh Ma, oh Pa Will I remember the songs The show must go on |
|
21.
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 I 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 them up against the wall Against the wall And that one in the spotlight, he don't look right to me Get him up against the wall Against the wall And that one looks Jewish, and that one's a coon Who let all this riffraff into the room There's one smoking a joint, and another with spots If I had my way I'd have all of your shot |
|
22.
Run Like Hell
|
|
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 as the cockleshell shatters And the hammers batter down your door You better 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 '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 |
|
23.
Waiting for the Worms
|
|
You cannot reach me now 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 colored cousins home again, my friend All you need to do is follow the worms |

Stop
|

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 |

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 crazy Truly gone fishing They must have taken my marbles away (Crazy Toys in the attic, he is crazy) You little shit, you're in it now I hope they throw away the key You should've 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'Lord, 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 crazy Bars in the window There must have been a door there in the wall for when I came in (Crazy Over the rainbow, he is crazy) The evidence before the court is incontravertible There's no need for the jury to retire In all my years of judging I have never heard before Of someone more deserving of the full penalty of the law The way you made them suffer Your exquisite wife and mother Fills me with the urge to deficate No, Judge, the jury Since, my friend, you have revealed your deepest fear I sentence you to be exposed before your peers Tear down the wall Tear down the wall Tear down the wall |
|
26.
Outside the Wall
|
|
All alone or in twos The ones who really know you Walk up and down outside the wall Some hand in hand Some gather 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 bugger's wall |
