So ya

Thought ya

Might like to

Go to the show

To feel that 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 this disguise!

"Lights!

Turn on the sound effects!

Action!

"Drop it, drop it on 'em! Drop it on them!"

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

Ooooh Baby

Ooooh baby blue

Oooooh 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 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

Snapshot in the family album

Daddy what else did you leave for me?

Daddy, what d'ja 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 in any way 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 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 don't need no education

We dont need no thought control

No dark sarcasm in the classroom

Teachers leave us kids alone

Hey! Teachers! Leave us 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 this song?

Mother do you think they'll try to break my balls?

Ooooh, Mother should I build the wall?

Mother should I run for president?

Mother should I trust the government?

Mother will they put me in the firing line?

Ooooh, ah, Is it just a waste of time

Hush now baby, baby, dont you cry.

Mother's gonna make all your nightmares come true.

Mother's gonna put all her fears into you.

Mother's gonna keep you right here under her wing.

She wont let you fly, but she might let you sing.

Mama's gonna keep baby cozy and warm.

Ooooh baby ooooh baby oooooh baby,

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?

Ooooh, Mother will she break my heart?

Hush now baby, baby dont you cry.

Mama's gonna check out all your girlfriends for you.

Mama wont 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 baby healthy and clean.

Ooooh baby oooh baby oooh baby,

You'll always be baby to me.

Mother, did it need to be so high?

GOODBYE BLUE SKY

Ooooh, Ooooh, Ooooh
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 unfurled beneath a clear blue sky?
Ooooh, Ooooh, Ooooh
Did, did, did

Did you see the frightened ones?
Did, did, did

Did you hear the falling bombs?

The flames are all 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,

Stranger in this town.

Where are all the good times?

Who's gonna show this stranger around?

Ooooh, I need a dirty woman.

Ooooh, 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

Oooh, baby set me free.

Ooooh, I need a dirty woman.
Ooooh, I need a dirty girl.

Ooooh, I need a dirty woman.

Ooooh, I need a dirty girl.

ONE OF MY TURNS
Day after day, love turns grey

Like the skin of a dying man.

Night after night, we pretend its 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 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'ya?

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.

Dont 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 could you treat me this way?

Running away.

Ooooh, Babe.

Why are you running away?

Oooooh Babe!

ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL (PART 3)

I don't need no arms around me

And I dont 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

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 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, 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

IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE?

Is there anybody out there?

Is there anybody out there?

Is there anybody out there?

Is there anybody out there?

NOBODY HOME

I've got a little black book with my poems in.

Got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in.

When I'm a good dog, they sometimes throw me a bone in.

I got elastic bands keeping my shoes on.

Got those swollen hand blues.

Got thirteen channels of shit on the T.V. to choose from.

I've got electric light.

And I've got second sight.

And 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've got the obligatory Hendrix perm.

And the inevitable pinhole burns

All down the front of my favorite 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 remains.

I've got wild staring eyes.

And I've got a strong urge to fly.

But I 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 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 here

Feel the way I do?

BRING THE BOYS BACK HOME

Bring the boys back home.

Bring the boys back home.

Don't leave the children on their own, no, no.

Bring the boys back home.

COMFORTABLY NUMB

Hello, is there anybody in there?

just nod if you can hear me

is there anyone at home?

come on, come on, 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's smoke on the horizon

you are only coming through in waves

your slips 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 baloons

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

I have become comfortably numb

Ok, just a little pin prick

there'll be no more aaaaah!

but you may fill a litlle 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's smoke on the horizon

you are only comin' 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 off 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

and I have become comfortable numb.

THE SHOW MUST GO ON

Ooooh, Ma, Oooh Pa

Must the show go on?

Ooooh, Pa.

Take me home

Ooooh, Ma.

Let me go

There must be some mistake

I didnt mean to let them

Take away my soul.

Am I too old, is it too late?

Ooooh, Ma, Ooooh Pa,

Where has the feeling gone?

Ooooh, Ma, Ooooh Pa,

Will I remember the songs?

The show must go on.

IN THE FLESH
So ya

Thought ya

Might like to go to the show.

To feel that 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

We're gonna find out where you folks really stand.

Are there any queers in the theater tonight?

Get them up against the wall!

There's one in the spotlight, he don't look right to me,

Get him up against the wall!

That one looks Jewish!

And that one's a coon!

Who let all of 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 LIKE HELL

Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, Run, 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, 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.

WAITING FOR THE WORMS

Ein! Zwei! Drei! Hammer!
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

(Megaphone: Will the audience convene at one fifteen
outside Brixton Town Hall where we will be...)
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 queens and the coons and the Reds and the Jews).
Waiting (to follow the worms).
Would you like to see
(Would you like to see us rule again, my friend?)
Britannia rule again, my friend?
All you have to do is follow the worms.
Would you like to send
(Would you like to send them home again, my friend?)
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.

But I'm waiting in this cell

Because I have to know.

Have I been guilty all this time?

THE TRIAL

Good morning, Worm your honor.

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 honor.

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 have 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 honor, Him and Me, alone.

Baaaaaaaaaabe! Come to mother baby, let me hold you In my arms.

M'lud I never wanted him to

Get in any trouble.

Why'd he ever have to leave me?

Worm, your honor, 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

Incontrivertable, 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 penaltie of law.

The way you made them suffer,

Your exquisite wife and mother,

Fills me with the urge to deficate!
(Go on judge, shit on him)
Since, my friend, you have revealed your deepest fear,

I sentence you to be exposed before

Your peers

Tear down the wall!

OUTSIDE THE WALL

All alone, or in two's,

The ones who really love you

Walk up and down outside the wall.

Some hand in hand

And some gathered 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.
