Dark Side of the Moon
Breathe, breathe in the air
Don't be afraid to care
Leave, but don't leave me
Look around and choose your own ground
For long you'll live and high you'll fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
All you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever beRun, rabbit run
Dig that hole, forget the sun
And when at last your work is done
Don't sit down it's time to dig another one
For long you'll live and high you'll fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race towards an early grave.
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the wayTired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gunAnd you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to deathEvery year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to nought or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone the song is over, thought I'd something more to say.Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home, cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
Tolling on the iron bell
Call the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly magic spoken spells.
Money, get away
Get a good job with money pay and you're O.K.
Money, it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hand and make a stash
New car caviar, four star daydream
Think I'll buy me a football teamMoney get back
I'm alright Jack keep your hands off of my stack
Money it's a hit
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit
I'm in the hi-fidelity first class travelling set
And I think I need a Lear jetMoney it's a crime
Share it fairly, but don't take a slice of my pie
Money so they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a rise it's no surprise that they're
giving none away.
Us, and them
And after all we're ordinary men
Me, and you
God only knows it's not what we would choose to do
Forward he cried from the rear
and the front rank died
And the General sat, and the lines on the map
moved from side to side
Black and blue
And who knows which is which and who is who
Up and down
And in the end it's only round and round and round
Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
the poster bearer cried
Listen son, said the man with the gun
There's room for you insideDown and out
It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about
With, without
And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about
Out of the way, it's a busy day
I've got things on my mind
For want of the price of a tea and a slice
The old man died.
The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the pathThe lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings moreAnd if the dam breaks open many years to soon
And if there is no moon upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moonThe lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me till I'm saneYou lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head but it's not meAnd if the cloud bursts,thunder in your ears
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band your'e in starts playing a different tune
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.
All that you touch
All that you see
All that you taste
All you feel
All that you love
All that you hate
All you distrust
All you save
All that you give
All that you deal
All that you buy
beg, borrow or steal
All you create
All you destroy
All that you do
All that you say
All that you eat
everyone you meet
All that you slight
everyone you fight
All that is now
All that is gone
All that's to come
and everything under the sun is in tune
but the sun is eclipsed by the moon.
Album:
Momentary Lapse of Reason
Learning to Fly
Into the distance, A ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a wind swept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction holding me fast, How
Can I escape this irrisistible grasp?Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, IIce is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to guide my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stoneA soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the-circling-skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, IAbove the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the nightThere's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, A state of bliss
Can't keep my mind from the circling sky
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
The Dogs of War
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 weaveOne world, it's a battleground
One world, and we will smash it down
One world...One worldInvisible transfers, Long distance calls
Hollow laughter in marble halls
Steps have been taken, a silent uproar
Has unleashed the Dogs of War
You can't stop what has begun
Signed, sealed, they deliver oblivion
We all have a dark side, to say the least
And dealing in dead is the nature of the beastOne world, it's a battleground
One world and they smash it down
One world...One worldThe Dogs of War don't negotiate
The Dogs of War don't capitulate,
They will take, and you will give,
And you must die so that they may live
You can knock at any door,
But wherever you go, you know they've been there before
Well winners can lose, and things can get strained
But whatever you change you know the Dogs remain.One world, it's a battleground
One world are we going to smash it down?
One world...One world
One Slip
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 defendI will, I will she sighed to my request
And then she tossed her mane while my reserve was put
to the test
Then drowned in desire, our souls on fire
I led the way to the funeral pyre
And without a thought of the consequence
I gave in to my decadenceOne slip, and down the hole we fall
It seems to take no time at all
A momentary lapse of reason
That binds a life for life
A small regret, you won't forget
There'll be no sleep in here tonightWas it love, or was it the idea of being in love?
Or was it the hand of fate that seemed to fit just
like a glove?
The moment slipped by and soon the seeds were sown
The year grew late and neither one wanted to remain aloneOne slip, and down the hole we fall
It seems to take no time at all
A momentary lapse of reason
That binds a life to a life
The one regret you will never forget
There'll be no sleep in here tonight
On the Turning Away
On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won't understand
"Don't accept that what's happening
is just a case of all the suffering
or you'll find that you're joining in
the turning away"It's a sin that somehow
Light is changing to shadow
And casting it's shroud
Over all we have known
Unaware how the ranks have grown
Driven on by a heart of stone
We could find that we're all alone
In the dream of the proudOn the wings of the night
While the daytime is stirring
Where the speechless unite
In a silent accord
Using words you will find are strange
And mesmerised as they light the flame
Feel the new wind of change
On the wings of the nightNo more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside
Just a world that we all must share
It's not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there'll be,
No more turning away?
Yet Another Movie
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 bedThe use of force, he was so tough
She'll soon submit, she's had enough
The march of fate, the broken will
Someone is lying very stillHe has laughed and he has cried
He has fought and he has died
He's just the same as all the rest
He's not the worst, he's not the bestAnd still this ceaseless murmuring
The babbling that I brook
The seas of faces, eyes upraised
The empty screen, the vacant lookA man in black on a snow white horse
A pointless life has run it's course
The red rimmed eyes, the tears still run
As he fades into the setting sun
A New Machine
part 1I 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 lifetimeSometimes I get tired of the waiting
Sometimes I get tired of being in here
Is this the way it has always been?
Could it ever have been different?Do you ever get tired of the waiting?
Do you ever get tired of being in there?
Don't worry, nobody lives forever.
Nobody lives forever
A New Machine
part 2I will always be here
I will always look out from behind these eyes
It's only a lifetime
It's only a lifetime
Sorrow
The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land
Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky
A man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers
But awakes to a morning with no reason for wakingHe's haunted by the memory of a lost paradise
In his youth or a dream, he can't be precise
He's chained forever to a world that's departed
It's not enough, it's not enoughHis blood has frozen and curdled with fright
His knees have trembled and given way in the night
His hand has weakened at the moment of truth
His step has falteredOne world, One soul
Time pass, The river rollAnd he talks to the river of lost love and dedication
And silent replies that swirl invitation
Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea
A grim imitation of what is to beThere's an unceasing wind that blows through his night
And there's dust in my eyes, that blinds my sight
And silence that speaks so much louder than words
Of promises broken
