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 the disguise
Mamma loves her baby
And daddy loves you too
And the sea may look warm to you baby
And the sky may look blue
But oooh babe, oooh baby blue, oooh 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 the crack in the ice
Appears under your feet
You slip out of your death 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
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
"You! You! Yes, you! Stand still laddie!"
3. 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
"What have we here laddie?
Mysterious scribblings?
A secret code?
No - poems, no less - poems, everybody!
The laddie recons himself a poet!
'Money gets back
I'm all right Jack
Keep your hands off my stack
New car, Caviar,
Four star daydream
twinkle by me
A football team'
Absolute rubbish, laddie!
(smack!)
Get on with your work!
Repeat after me:
An acre is the area of a rectangle whois legs ....
But in the town it was well known
When they go home at night, their fat and
Psychopatic wives would thrash them
With in 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! Teachers! 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.
"Wrong, Do it again!"
"If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding."
"How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?"
"You! Yes, you laddie!"
"...poems, everybody! The laddie recons himself a poet!"
"You! Yes, you behind the bikesheds, stand still laddy!"

C
Mother, did it need to be so high?
Ooooooooooh
Did did did did you see the frightened ones
Did did did did you hear the falling bombs
Did did did did you ever wonder
Why we had to run for shelter
When the promise of a brave new world
Unfold beneath a clear blue sky
Ooooooooooh
Did did did did you see the frightened ones
Did did did 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
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
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 woman in this desert land
Make me feel like a real man
Take this rock & roll refugee
Ooooh Baby set me free
Ooooooooh I need a dirty woman
Ooooooooh I need a dirty girl
Ooooooooh I need a dirty woman
Ooooooooh I need a dirty girl
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 any more
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
Just 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?
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
Ooooh babe
Why are you running away?
Ooooh Baby!
9. Another Brick in the Wall
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 need anything at all
No 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
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! Out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me
Hey you! Standing in the isles
With itchy feet and fading smiles, 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 yoy! With your ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call on 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 your 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!
2. Is There Anybody Out There
Is there anybody out there?
I've got a little black book with my poems in
Got a bag with my toothbrush and my comb in
When I'm a good dog they sometimes throw me a bone
I got elastic bands keeping my shoes on
Got those swollen hand blues
Got thirteen channels of shit on the TV to choose from
I've got electric light
And I've got second sight
I've got amazing powers of observation
And that's how I know
When I try to get through
On the telephone to you
There'll be nobody home.
I've got the obligatory Hendrix perm
And the inevitable pinhole burns
All down 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 romains
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 fanding roots
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.
Bring the boys back home
Bring the boys back home
Don't leave the children on their own
Bring the boys back home
Hello
Is there anybody in there?
Just not if you can hear me
Is there anyone at home?
Come on now
I hear you're feeling down
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?
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 say
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like too 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.
O.K.
Just a little pin prick
There'll be no more aaaaaach!
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 say
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 fingers on it now
The child is grown
The dream is gone
And I have become comfortably numb.
Oooh Ma Ooooh Pa
Must the show go on
Oooh Pa take me home
Oooh Ma let me go
Do I have to stand up
Wildeyed in the spotlight
What a nightmare! Why
Don't I turn and run
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?
The show must go on.
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
And we're going to 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
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 buttondown lips and your roller blind eyes
With your empty smile and your hungry heart
Feel the file rising from your guilty past
With your nerves in tatters when the cockle-shell 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 take your girlfriend out tonight
You better park your car well out of sight
'Cos 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
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 up the deadwood
Waiting to clean up the city
Waiting to follow the worms
Waiting to put on a blackshirt
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 again my friend
All you need to do is follow the worms
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
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
Shame on him
This will not do
Call the schoolmaster
I always said he'd come to no good
In the end you 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 master
Let me hammer him today
Crazy toys in the attic I am crazy
Shall we go ....... (?)
They must have taken my marbles away
Crazy toys in the attic he is crazy
Call me the defendant's wife
You - little shit you're in it now
I hope they throw away the key
You should have talked to me more often
That 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
When I came in
Crazy over the rainbow he is crazy
The evidence before the court is
Incontrovertable 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
But my friend you have revealed your deepest fear
I sentence you to be exposed
Before your peers tear down 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 gathering together in bands
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand
And when they've given you their all
Some staggers and falls after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers
Wall
