INTRODUCTION This is a collection of the lyrics to all the songs written by Pink Floyd which appeared on regular albums. No bootleg album lyrics have been included yet. In the first index the songs appear in the order they are on the albums. The albums themselves are in the order they were published. Some songs appear more than once in this book. This is done to facilitate singing along with the album. Please note that some lyrics had to be obtained by listening to the albums. For this reason, some of the lyrics may be inaccurate. If you discover what you think may be errors please contact me and updates will be made. Special Notes: 1. "Breathe Reprise" from Dark Side of the Moon is not listed on the tape. The lyrics for it were obtained from the record jacket. It appears after "Time." 2. "Shine on you Crazy Diamond" from Wish You were Here is split up. Parts I, II, III, IV, and V are the first song on side one and parts VI, VII, VIII, IX, and X are the last song on side two. The song appears, complete, as the first song on side two of A Collection of Great Dance Songs.

Not a single word was said, delights still without fears Occasinally you showed a smile but what was the need I felt the cold far too soon - the wind of `95 My friends are lying in the sun, I wish that I was there Tomorrow brings another town and another girl like you Have you time before you leave to greet another man Just you let me know How do you feel, how do you feel, how do you feel? Goodbye to you ___________________________________ I've had enough for one day - 28 - FAT OLD SUN When the fat old sun in the sky is falling Summer evenin' birds are calling Summer's thunder time of year The sound of music in my ears Distant bells, new mown grass Smells so sweet By the river holding hands Roll me up and lay me down And if you sit don't make a sound Pick your feet up off the ground And if you hear as the warm night falls The silver sound from a time so strange Sing to me, sing to me When that fat old sun in the sky is falling Summer evenin' birds are calling Children's laughter in my ears The last sunlight disappears And if you sit don't make a sound Pick your feet up off the ground And if you hear as the warm night falls The silver sound from a time so strange Sing to me, sing to me When that fat old sun in the sky is falling - 29 - A PILLOW OF WINDS A cloud of eiderdown draws around me Softening the sound Sleepy time when I lie With my love by my side And she's breathing low And a candle dies The night comes down, you lock the door The book falls to the floor As darkness falls and waves roll by The seasons change, the wind is warm Now wakes the owl, now sleeps the swan Behold the dream, the dream is gone Green fields, a cold rain is falling Near the golden door Deep beneath the ground the early morning sounds And I go down Sleepy time when I lie With my love by my side And she's breathing low And I rise like a bird In the haze when the rays touch the sky And the night wings by - 30 - FEARLESS You say the hill's too steep to climb Climb it! You say you'd like to see me try Climb it! You pick the place and I'll choose the time And I'll climb the hill in my own way Just wait awhile for the right day And as I rise above the treeline and the clouds I look down, hear the sound of the things you said today Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd Smiling! Nothing waits the magistrate turns round Frowning! And who's the fool who wears the crown Go down in your own way And ev'ry day is the right day And as you rise above the fear lines in the frown You look down, hear the sound of the faces in the crowd - 31 - SAN TROPEZ As I reach for a peach, slide a ride down behind The sofa in San Tropez Breaking a stick with a brick on the sand Riding a wave in the wake of an old sedan Sleeping alone in the drone of the darkness Sratched by the sand that fell from our love Deep in my dreams and I still hear her calling If you're alone I'll come home Backwards and homebound, the pidgeon, the dove Gone with the wind and the rain on an airplane Owning a home with no silver spoon I'm drinking champagne like a big tycoon Sooner than wait for a break in the weather I'll gather my far flung thoughts together Speeding away on a wind to a new day If you're alone I'll come home And I pause for a while by a country stile And listen to things they say Digging for gold with a hoe in my hand Hoping they'll take a look at the way things stand Would you lead me down to the place by the sea? I hear your soft voice calling to me Making a date for later by phone If you're alone I'll come home - 32 - SEAMUS I was in the kitchen Seamus (that's the dog) was outside Well, I was in the kitchen Seamus, my old hound, was outside Well you know the sun was sinkin' slowly But my old hound dog sat right down and cried - 33 - ECHOES Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air And deep beneath the rolling waves In labyrinths of coral caves The echo of a distant tide comes willowing across the sand And ev'rything is green and submarine And no one showed us to the land and No one knows the wheres or why and Something stares and something tries and Starts to climb towards the light Strangers passing in the street, by chance Two sep'rate glances meet and I am you and What I see is me and do I take you by the hand And lead you through the land And help me understand the best I can And no one calls us to the land and No one crosses there alive and No one speaks and no one tries and No one flies around the sun Now this is the day you fall upon my waking eyes Inviting and inciting me to rise And through the window in the wall comes Streaming in on sunlight wings A million bright ambassadors of morning and No one sings me lullabies and No one makes me close my eyes So I throw the windows wide and Call to you across the skies - 34 - BURNING BRIDGES Bridges burning, blindly merging with the Shadow flickering between the light Stolen _________ floating softly on the air Borne on wings of fire and climbing higher Ancient bones are breaking Moving on and cahnging sides Dreaming of a new day, cast aside the other way Magic visions stirring, kindled by ________ burning Flames rise in her eyes The __________ expands _______________________________ ______________________________________________________ The moment is at hand, she breaks the golden band - 35 - THE GOLD IT'S IN THE... Come on, my friends let's make for the hills. They say there's gold but I'm looking for thrills. You can get your hands on whatever we find, Cause I'm only comin' 'long for the ride. Well, you go your way, I'll go mine. I don't care if we get there on time. Ev'rybody's searching for something they say. I'll get my kicks on the way. Over the mountain, across the seas, Who knows what will be waiting for me? I could sail forever to strange sounding names. Faces of people and places don't change. All I have to do is close my eyes To see the sea gulls wheeling in those far distant skies. All I want to tell you, all I want to say Is count me in on the journey, Don't expect me to stay. - 36 - FREE FOUR One, two, free four The memories of a man in his old age Are the deeds of a man in his prime You shuffle in the gloom of the sickroom And talk to yourself as you die And life is a short warm moment And death is a long cold rest You get your chance to try In the twinkling of an eye Eighty years with luck or even less So all aboard for the american tour And maybe you'll make it to the top But mind how you go I can tell you `cause I know You may find it hard to get off But you are the angel of death And I am the dead man's son He was buried like a mole in a foxhole And everyone's still on the run And who is the master of foxhounds And who says the hunt has begun Who calls the tune in the courtroom And who beats the funeral drum The memories of a man in his old age Are the deeds of a man in his prime Shuffle in the gloom of the sickroom And talk to yourself as you die - 37 - CHILDHOOD'S END You shout in your sleep. Perhaps the price is too steep. Is your conscience at rest If once put to the test? You awake with a start To just the beating of your heart. Just one man beneath the sky, Just two ears, just two eyes. You set sail across the sea Of long past thoughts and memories. Childhood's end, your fantasies Merge with harsh realities. And then as the sail is hoist, You find your eyes are growing moist. All the fears never voiced Say you have to make your final choice. Who are you and who am I To say we know the reason why? Some are born; some men die Beneath one infinite sky. There'll be war, there'll be peace. But ev'rything one day will cease. All the iron turned to rust; All the proud men turned to dust. And so all things, time will mend. So this song will end. - 38 - WOTS...UH THE DEAL Heaven sent the promised land Looks all right from where I stand 'Cause I'm the man on the outside looking in Waiting on the first step Show me where the key is kept Point me down the right line Because it's time To let me in from the cold Turn my lead into gold 'Cause there's a chill wind blowin' in my soul And I think I'm growing old Flash the readies Wots..uh the deal? Got to make it to the next meal Try to keep up with the turning of the wheel Mile after mile stone after stone You turn to speak but you're alone Million miles from home you're on your own So let me in from the cold Turn my lead into gold 'Cause there's a chill wind blowin' in my soul And I think I'm growing old Fire bright by candlelight and her by my side And if she prefers we never stir again Someone sent the promised land And I grabbed it with both hands Now I'm the man on the inside looking out Hear me shout Come on in What's the news? where you been? 'Cause there's no wind left in my soul And I've grown old - 39 - STAY Stay and help me to end the day And if you don't mind we'll break a bottle of wine Stick around and maybe we'll put one down Cause I wanna find what lies behind those eyes Midnight blue burning gold A yellow moon is growing cold I rise looking through my morning eyes Surpised to find you by my side Rack my brain to try to remember your name To find the words to tell you goodbye Morning dues newborn day Midnight blue turned to gray Midnight blue burning gold A yellow moon is growing cold - 40 - BREATHE 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 live and high you'll fly And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry And all you touch and all you see Is all your life will ever be Run, run rabbit run Dig that hole, forget the sun, And when at last the work is done Don't sit down it's time to dig another one For long you live and high you'll fly But only if you ride the tide Balanced on the biggest wave You race towards an early grave. - 41 - TIME 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 way Tired 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 gun And 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 the relative way, but you're older And shorter of breath and one day closer to death Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time Plans that either come to naught 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 - 42 - BREATHE REPRISE Home, home again I like to be here when I can When I come in cold and tired It's good to warm my bones beside the fire Far away across the field The tolling of the iron bell Calls the faithful to their knees To hear the softly spoken magic spell - 43 - MONEY Money, get away Get a good job with more pay and you're O. K. Money it's a gas Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash New car, caviar, four star daydream Think I'll buy me a football team Money get back I'm all right Jack keep your hands off 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 jet Money 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 raise it's no surprise that they're Giving none away - 44 - US AND THEM Us, and them And after all we're only 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 post bearer cried Listen son, said the man with the gun There's room for you inside Down and Out It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about With, without And who'll deny that's what the fighting's all abouut Get out of the way, it's a busy day and I've got things on my mind For the want of the price of tea and a slice The old man died - 45 - BRAIN DAMAGE 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 path The 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 more And if the dam breaks open many years too soon And if there is no room upon the hill And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too I'll see you on the dark side of the moon The 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 sane You lock the door And throw away the key There's someone in my head but it's not me. And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear You shout and no one seems to hear And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes I'll see you on the dark side of the moon. - 46 - ECLIPSE 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 that 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. - 47 - SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND Remember when you were young? You shone like the sun. Shine on, you crazy diamond Now there's a look in your eyes Like black holes in the sky Shine on, you crazy diamond You were caught in the crossfire Of childhood and stardom, Blown on the steel breeze Come on you target for faraway laughter; Come on you stranger, you legend, You martyr, and shine You reached for the secret too soon You cried for the moon Shine on, you crazy diamond Threatened by shadows at night And exposed in the light Shine on, you crazy diamond Well, you wore out your welcome With random precision Rode on the steel breeze Come on you raver, you seer of visions; Come on you painter, you piper, You prisoner, and shine Nobody knows where you are, How near or how far Shine on, you crazy diamond Pile on many more layers And I'll be joining you there Shine on, you crazy diamond And we'll bask in the shadow Of yesterday's triumph And sail on the steel breeze Come on you boy child, you winner and loser, Come on you miner for truth and delusion, And shine. - 48 - WELCOME TO THE MACHINE Welcome my son, welcome to the machine Where have you been? It's all right, we know where you've been You've been in the pipe line filling in time Provided with toys and scouting for boys You bought a guitar to punish your ma And you didn't like school And you know you're nobody's fool So welcome to the machine Welcome my son, welcome to the machine What did you dream? It's all right, we told you what to dream You dreamed of a big star He played a mean guitar He always ate in the steak bar He loved to drive in his jaguar So welcome to the machine - 49 - HAVE A CIGAR Come in here dear boy have a cigar You're gonna go far, You're gonna fly high You're never gonna die, You're gonna make it if you try They're gonna love you Well I've always had a deep respect And I mean that most sincerely The band is just fantastic That is really what I think Oh, by the way which one's pink? And if we tell you the name of the game, boy We call it "Riding the gravy train" We're just knocked out, We heard about the sell out You've gotta get an album out You owe it to the people We're so happy we can hardly count Ev'ry body else is just green Have seen the chart It's a helluva start It could be made into a monster If we all pull together as a team And if we tell you the name of the game, boy We call it "Riding the gravy train": - 50 - WISH YOU WERE HERE So, so you think you can tell Heaven from hell, blue skies from pain Can you tell a green field From a cold steel rail, a smile from a veil Do you you think you can tell? And did they get you to trade Your heroes for ghosts, hot ashes for trees, Hot air for a cool breeze, cold comfort for change And did you exchange A walk on part in the war For a lead role in a cage? How I wish, how I wish you were here We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl Year after year Running over the same old ground What have we found? The same old fears Wish you were here - 51 - PIGS ON THE WING (PART ONE) If you didn't care what happened to me, And I didn't care for you, We would zig zag our way through the boredom and pain, Occasionally glancing up through the rain, Wondering which of the buggers to blame And watching for pigs on the wing - 52 - DOGS You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need. You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you're on the street, You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat With your eyes closed. And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight, You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking. And after a while, you can work on points for style. Like the club tie, and the firm handshake, A certain look in the eye and an easy smile. You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to, So that when they turn their backs on you, You'll get the chance to put the knife in. You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder. You know it's going to harder, and harder and harder as you get older. And in the end you'll pack up and fly down south, Hide your head in the sand, Just another sad old man, All alone and dying of cancer. And when you lose control, You'll reap the harvest you have sown. And as the fear grows, The bad blood slows and turns to stone. And it's too late to lose the weight You used to need to throw around. so have a good drown, as you go down, alone, Dragged down by the stone. I gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused. Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used. Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off This creeping malaise. If I don't stand my own ground, How can I find my way out of this maze? Deaf, dumb and blind, you just keep on pretending That everyone's expendable and no one has a real friend. And it seems to you the thing to do Would be to isolate the winner. And everything's done under the sun, And you believe at heart, everyone's a killer. Who was born in a house full of pain. Who was trained not to spit in the fan. Who was told what to do by the man. Who was broken by trained personnel. Who was fitted with collar and chain. Who was given a seat in the stand. Who was breaking away from the pack. Who was only a stranger at home. Who was ground down in the end. Who was found dead on the phone. Who was dragged down by the stone. Who was dragged down by the stone. - 53 - PIGS (THREE DIFFERENT ONES) Big man, pig man, ha ha charade you are. You well heeled big wheel, ha ha charade you are. And when your hand is on your heart, You're nearly a good laugh, Almost a joker, With your head head down in the pig bin, Saying, "keep on digging." Pig stain on your fat chin. What do you hope to find? When you're down in the pig mine, You're nearly a laugh, You're nearly a laugh, But you're really a cry. Bus stop rat bag, ha ha charade you are. You fucked up old hag, ha ha charade you are You radiate cold shafts of broken glass. You're nearly a good laugh, Almost worth a quick grin You like the feel of steel, You're hot stuff with a hat pin, And you're good fun with a hand gun. You're nearly a laugh, You're nearly a laugh But you're really a cry. Hey you, Whitehouse, Ha ha charade you are You house proud town mouse, Ha ha charade you are You're trying to keep our feelings off the street You're nearly a real treat, All tight lips and cold feet, And do you feel abused? .....! ......! ......! ......! you gotta stem the evil tide, And keep it all on the inside. Mary you're nearly a treat, Mary you're nearly a treat But you're really a cry. - 54 - SHEEP Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland away Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air You better watch out, There may be dogs about I've looked over Jordan, and I have seen. Things are not what they seem What do you get for pretending the dangers not real Meek and obedient you follow the leader Down well trodden corridors, into the valley of steel What a surprise! A look of terminal shock in your eyes Now things are really what they seem. No, this is no bad dream. THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD, I SHALL NOT WANT. HE MAKES ME DOWN TO LIE THROUGH PASTURES GREEN HE LEADETH ME THE SILENT WATERS BY. WITH BRIGHT KNIVES HE RELEASETH MY SOUL. HE MAKETH ME TO HANG ON HOOKS IN HIGH PLACES. HE CONVERTETH ME TO LAMB CUTLETS. FOR LO, HE HATH GREAT POWER, AND GREAT HUNGER. WHEN COMETH THE DAY WE LOWLY ONES THROUGH QUIET REFLECTION, AND GREAT DEDICATION, MASTER THE ART OF KARATE. LO, WE SHALL RISE UP, AND THEN WE'LL MAKE THE BUGGERS EYES WATER. Bleating and babbling I fell on his neck with a scream Wave upon wave of demented avengers March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream. Have you heard the news? The dogs are dead! You better stay home And do as you're told, Get out of the road if you want to grow old. - 55 - PIGS ON THE WING (PART TWO) You know that I care what happens to you, And I know that you care for me, So I don't feel alone, Or the weight of the stone, Now that I've found somewhere safe To bury my bone. And any fool knows a dog needs a home, A shelter from pigs on the wing. - 56 - IN THE FLESH ? 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'd like to find out what's behind these cold eyes? You'll just have to claw your way through the Disguise - 57 - 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 Babe Ooooh Baby Blue Ooooh 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 - 58 - ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL. part 1. Daddy's flown across the ocean Leaving just a memory A snap shot 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 all just a brick in the wall All in all it was all just bricks in the wall - 59 - THE HAPPIEST DAYS OF OUR LIVES When we grew up and went to school There were certain teachers who would Hurt the children 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 Psycopathic wives would thrash them Within inches of their lives - 60 - ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL. part 2.

And I can feel one of my turns coming on. I feel cold as 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 Just 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 call the cops? Do you think it's time I stopped? Why are you running away? - 66 - 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?

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 a 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.

Soon after its release he was forced to retire from the band due to "illness", but not before making an appearance on the Floyd's second album ASFoS. He soon afterwards wrote two solo albums (The Madcap Laughs and Barrett) but due to his illness, retired from music all together. He apparently now lives in Cambridge with his mother, with no intention of returning to music. David (Jon) Gilmour: Joined the band in '68, in order to "support" the ailing Syd (the idea was, according to Roger Waters, to let Syd carry on writing songs, but have Dave actually do Syd's part live), but Syd was to soon leave and so Dave took over as lead guitarist, and also took over some of the singing. Right up to DSOTM, Dave was also writing his own songs, but from DSOTM to The Final Cut, Roger Waters took over in the Lyrics department. Dave, released, perhaps reluctantly of this responsibility, did make up for it by producing some excellent Guitar, and production work on all those albums, most notably Shine On You Crazy Diamond (from WYWH) and Comfortably Numb (from The Wall). He also did a large amount of the vocals, and it can be argued that he's probably got the best singing voice in the band. When Roger Waters split after The Final Cut album Dave decided to continue the band, and has now become the chief singer/songwriter/lead guitarist. To date, he's made two solo albums (Dave Gilmour and About Face). Nick Mason (Nicholas Berkley Mason): 'e does drums! The only member of the Floyd to stay the distance, his chief contribution to Floyd music is percussion. He has written one song (The Grand Vizier's Garden Party on Ummagumma) and has pride of place in speaking the words "One of these days, I'm going to cut you into little pieces" on, well, One Of These Days (from Meddle). He's released one solo venture (Fictitious Sports) and one collaboration piece with Rick Fenn (Profiles). He's also renowned for his love of sports cars, and has very expensive and impressive collection of them. Roger Waters (George Roger Waters): His Rogness, has been singer/songwriter /bassist from the very beginning. After the absence of Syd, he gradually began to take more control over the Floyd's lyrics, until DSOTM, where all lyrics are his. This vein continued through WYWH, and ANIMALS, until The Wall, where he began to take control over the music side of things too. For The Final Cut, its often been said that this is Roger with a few famous backing musicians, as the album is almost totally "his own work". After The Final Cut, Roger left the band, and expected the others to do likewise, but was surprised to find them wanting to carry it on. A few law suits were involved, but resulted in Rog getting not as much as he expected. He continues to pursue his solo career, with two quite successful solo ventures (The Pro's and Con's Of Hitch Hiking and Radio KAOS) and recently "revived" The Wall in Berlin for charity. He has done two collaboration pieces, one with Ron Geesin (Music From The Body) which dates back to 1970, and one with various other artists, the film soundtrack to When The Wind Blows. A new solo piece is expected "very soon". Rick Wright (Richard William Wright): Keyboards are Mr. Wright's forte and from PatGoD up to The Wall, you'll find that not only has tickled the ivories (or plastics), but he's also managed to find time to write and sing a number of the Floyd's ditties, like TGGITS. However, during the making of The Wall film, Mr. Wright "went on holiday", never to return until the MLoR tours, where he once again, became a full paid up member of the band. Like Mr. Mason, he's written one solo outing (Wet Dream) and has done one collaboration piece with Dave Harris under the band name of Zee (Identity).

Hidden Tunes: One Of These Days: during a "quieter" section, you can apparently hear Mr Wright, playing a few bars of the Dr Who theme tune. Fearless: Crowd at the end are singing "You'll never walk alone", which is actually from a Rogers & Hammerstein musical, but was recorded here at a Liverpool football (soccer) match. The chant at the end is "Liverpool". Echoes: The screeching noises in the middle, are made by Dave using a bottleneck on his fender. Live At Pompeii: Things to look out for: Nick Mason breaking a drum stick during 'One Of These Days...' The Dog in Madmoiselle Nobs, keeping its eyes on the camera. DSOTM: Spoken words: Speak To Me: "I've been mad for f**king years, absolutely years, been over the edge for yonks, been working me buns off for bands..." "I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the most of us...very hard to explain why you're mad, even if you're not mad..." On The Run: [female announcer, announcing flights at airport, including 'Rome'] "Live for today, gone tomorrow, that's me, HaHaHaaaaaa!" TGGITS: "And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying? There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime." "I never said I was frightened of dying" * "If you can here this, you're dying" (possible) Money/ Us & Them: "HuHuh! I was in the right!" "Yes, absolutely in the right!" "I certainly was in the right!" "You was definitely in the right. That geezer was cruising for a bruising!" "Yeah!" "Why does anyone do anything?" "I don't know, I was really drunk at the time!" "I was just telling him, he couldn't get into number 2. He was asking why he wasn't coming up on freely(?) 11, after I was yelling and screaming and telling him why he wasn't coming up on freely(?) 11. It came as a heavy blow, but we sorted the matter out" Us & Them: "I mean, they're not gunna kill ya, so if you give 'em a quick short, sharp, shock, they won't do it again. Dig it? I mean he get off lightly, 'cos I would've given him a thrashing - I only hit him once! It was only a difference of opinion, but really...I mean good manners don't cost nothing do they, eh?" Brain Damage: "HuHuHuHu! I can't think of anything to say except, HuHuHuHu! I think it's marvellous! HaHaHa!" Eclipse: "There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact it's all dark." Hidden Tunes: Specifically on the CD versions of the album, there is supposedly some music as the heartbeat fades away at the end of Eclipse fades. You basically have to turn the volume right the way up at this point, and hopefully you will hear a faint jingle being played "as if someone left a radio on in the studio". There's some opinion that it might be The Beatles performing Ticket To Ride in the studio next door (highly unlikely, as they'd disbanded a couple of years before!) ANP: LP cover: The phrases that are represented by the pictures on the cover 'A Frog In The Throught' 'A Fork In The Road' 'A Kettle Of Fish' 'Laughing All The Way To The Bank' 'A Nip In The Air' '...' WYWH: LP cover: The Pictures on the various sides of the cover and inner sleeve, are there to help display the theme of absence in the Album. In its original form, the LP is covered in a black shrink-wrap with the famous shaking hands logo - making the cover picture 'absent'. The shaking hands represents a false gesture of presence. The Front cover of the album, has two men shaking hands, one of whom is on fire - represents someone 'getting burnt' ("Like falling in love, and then suddenly being jilted"). The back cover shows a Pink Floyd salesman, who is "selling his soul" - he has no wrists, no ankles, and no facial features. On the front of the inner-sleeve, you see a man diving into the water, but not making a splash - he has presence, but an absence of trace. Finally on the back of the inner sleeve, there's the red veil - a way of hiding the face. Behind the veil a (nude) figure can be seen. Spoken Words: Wish You Were Here: "...and diciplinary remains, mercifully" "Yes, yes. Now with you Derek, this star nonsense..." "Yes, yes." "Now which is it ..." "... I'm sure of it ..." [NB. on the WYWH tour, they used to use bits from the local broadcasts of the city they were in] Animals: UK/ Rest Of The World Crossover: The line "Hey you Whitehouse", doesn't actually mean *THE* Whitehouse in Washington, but rather Mrs Mary Whitehouse, UK head of the National Viewers and Listeners Association, which campaign for what they consider to be moral standards (e.g. no sex on TV, etc.) LP cover: As much as a painting as it may look, the cover is a photograph of the famous London landmark, Battersea Power Station, and, yes, they really did float that pig above the chimney stacks. (It got away, but that's another story) Spoken Words: Sheep: "THE LORD IS MY SHEPERD, I SHALL NOT WANT HE MAKES ME DOWN TO LIE THROUGH PASTURES GREEN HE LEADETH ME THE SILENT WATERS BY. WITH BRIGHT KNIVES HE RELEASETH MY SOUL. HE MAKETH ME TO HANG ON HOOKS IN HIGH PLACES. HE CONVERTETH ME TO LAMB CUTLETS. FOR LO, HE HATH GREAT POWER, AND GREAT HUNGER. WHEN COMETH THE DAY WE LOWLY ONES, THROUGH QUIET REFLECTION, AND GREAT DEDICATION, MASTER THE ART OF KARATE. LO, WE SHALL RISE UP, AND THEN WE'LL MAKE THE BUGGERS EYES WATER." The Wall: Spoken Words: In The Flesh?: At the end of the song, Roger Screams "Bass! Roll on the sound effects! Action! Turn it, turn it all off! Turn it all oooofffff!" Another Brick In The Wall part 1: "You! Yes, you! Stand still laddy!" The Happiest Days Of Our Lives: After "...hurt the children anyway they could...", you can hear an "OOF!" of someone being hit in the background. Another Brick In The Wall part 2: "Wrong, Do it again!" "If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding. How can you have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat?" "You! Yes, you behind the bikesheds, stand still laddy!" Goodbye Blue Sky: "Look mummy, there's an aeroplane up in the sky" "The 11:15 from Newcastle is now approaching" Empty Spaces: The everso infamous secret message: * "Congratulations, You have just discovered the secret message. Please send your answer to 'Old Pink', Care of the funny farm, Chalfont..." - Spoken By Roger [...interrupted...] "Roger, Caroline's on the phone..." - Unknown Voice Young Lust: [Phone rings..Clunk of receiver being lifted] "Hello..?" "Yes, a call for Mrs Floyd for Mr Floyd. Will you accept the charges from the United States?" [clunk! of phone being put down] "Oh, He hung up! That's your residence, right? I wonder why he hung up? Is there supposed to be someone else there besides your wife there to answer?" [Phone rings again...clunk of receiver being picked up] "Hello?" "This is united states calling, are we reaching... [interrupted by phone being put down] "See he keeps hanging up, and it's a man answering." [whirr of connection being closed] On Of My Turns: "Oh my God! What a fabulous room!

Pro's And Con's: "THE PROS AND CONS OF HITCH-HIKING (A brief explanation) <- presumably written by Waters 4:30 AM SCENE I (A suburban bedroom somewhere near London) "Shane" plays on the TV. An Englishman, struggling with a nightmare wakes his American wife. She speaks. Wife: "Wake up, you're dreaming" Man: "What?" Wife: "You're dreaming" The man mumbles disjointedly about his dream. His wife soothes him back to sleep. 4:31 AM SCENE II The man returns to his dream. He and his wife are driving through continental Europe. There is a vague feeling of threat. The European psyche still shrinks from memories of The Jackboot. Borders are dangerous places. The law is a fickle friend. They pick up two hitch-hikers, a beautiful girl and a hooded terrorist... Lust conquers fear, the man courts the girl. His sensible family sedan metamorphosis into a mettalic green Lamborghini. The girl is impressed. They go for a drive. He is about to seduce her when... Fear conquers lust. 4:37 AM SCENE III Paralysed by fear, he is whisked back to suburbia and attacked in his own home by a gang of Arab Terrorists. He rages in his impotence. 4:38 AM SCENE IV (A small Hotel overlooking the Rhine) The man and the girl eat dinner. He takes her upstairs and orders breakfast. He locks the door. He reaches out for her... 4:40 AM SCENE V Reaching out in his dream he wakes his wife again. She is not a pleased woman. He is horny. She rejects him and goes back to sleep. He lies in bed, brittle and angry. "Bloody toast crumbs" He silently rants. "Hey girl, take out the dagger and let's have a stab at the sexual revolution." He falls asleep again and dreams of a geographical solution to his marital problems - They will return to his wife's native land and live off it. She will be fulfilled. They will be happy. 4:50 AM SCENE VI (A cabin in Wyoming) The experiment fails. Through the trials and tribulations of self-reliance the couple polarise. She falls in love with a "friend from the East". They part. 4:56 AM SCENE VII (The edge of a highway - somewhere in the States) The man is now alone. He is the hitch-hiker. A truck pulls up. "Hey kid, you looking for a lift?... Get on up here." He climbs in and whines to the truck driver. The truck driver, happy to join in the battle of the sexes, commiserates for a while. Then, realising that our hero is about to vomit all over his highly polished cowboy boots, he throws him out of the rig. 5:01 AM SCENE VIII (The Gutter) Things go from bad to worse. 5:06 AM SCENE IX (A truckstop) A waitress with a heart of gold sympathizes with our hero reaffirming his basic belief in life and love. He wakes. 5:10 AM SCENE X (Back in Suburbia) As he awakes our hero experiences a moment of clarity. He feels at one with the world. He has the answer? <- N.B. the question mark is Rog's, not mine 5:11 AM SCENE XI (The bedroom - One minute later.) The moment fades. The man is afraid. He reaches out and touches his wife's hair. She is awake. He loves her..." Radio K.A.O.S: Spoken Words: Beginning (just as morse code starts up): "Talk to me Gilmour" End (as morse code ends): "That's it!"

Morse Code at end: "Now the past is over but you are not alone Together we'll fight Sylvester Stallone We will not be dragged down in his South China Sea of macho bullsh*t and mediocrity" The Story: "Radio KAOS by Roger Waters: Benny is a welsh coal miner. He is a radio ham. He is 23 years old, married to Molly. They have a son, young Ben aged 4, and a new baby. They look after Benny's twin brother Billy, who is apparently a vegetable. The mine is closed by the market forces. The Male Voice Choir stops singing, the village is dying. One night Benny takes Billy on a pub crawl. Drunk in a brightly-lit shopping mall, Benny vents his anger on a shop window full of multiple TV images of Margaret Thatcher's mocking condescension. In defiance, he steals a cordless 'phone. Later that night, Benny cavorts dangerously on the parapet of a motorway footbridge, in theatrical protest at the tabloid press. That same night, a cab driver is killed by a concrete block dropped off a similar bridge. The police come to question Benny; he hides the cordless 'phone under the cushion of Billy's wheelchair. Billy is different, he can receive radio waves directly without the aid of a tuner; he explores the cordless 'phone, recognising its radioness. Benny is sent to prison. Billy feels as if half of him has been cut off. He misses Benny's nightly conversations with radio hams in foreign parts. Molly, unable to cope, sends Billy to stay with his great uncle David, who had emigrated to the USA during the war. Much as Billy likes Uncle David and the sunshine and all the new radio in LA, he cannot adjust to the cultural upheaval and the loss of Benny, who for him is "home". Uncle David, now an old man, is haunted by having worked on the Manhattan project during World War II, designing the Atom Bomb, and seeks to atone. He also is a radio ham; he often talks to other hams about the Black Hills of his youth, the Male Voice Choir, about home. He is saddened by the use of telecommunication to trivialise important issues, the soap opera state. However, Live Aid has decynicised him to an extent. Billy listens to David and hears the truth the old man speaks. Billy experiments with his cordless 'phone, he learns to make calls. He accesses computers and speech synthesizers, he learns to speak. Billy makes contact with Jim, a DJ at Radio KAOS, a renegade rock station fighting a lone rear guard action against format radio. Billy perceives this as an act of political "entertainment" fireworks to focus attention away from problems at "home". Billy has developed his expertise with the cordless 'phone to the point where he can now control the most powerful computers in the world. He plans an "entertainment" of his own. He simulates nuclear attacks everywhere, but de-activates the military capabilities of "the powers that be" to retaliate. In extremes, perceptions change. Panic, comedy, compassion. In a SAC bunker, a soldier in a white cravat turns a key to launch the counter attack. Nothing happens; impotently he kicks the console, hurting his foot. He watches the approaching blips on the radar screen. As impact approaches, he thinks of his wife and kids, he puts his fingers in his ears. Silence. White out. Black Out. Lights out. It didn't happen, we're still alive. Billy has drained the earth of power to create his illusion. All over the dark side of the earth, candles are lit. In the pub in Billy's home village in Wales one man starts to sing; the other men join in. The Tide is Turning. Billy is home." The Script: "Jim: This is K.A.O.S. You and I are listening to KAOS in Los Angeles. Let's go to the telephone now and take a request. Billy: Hello, I'm Billy. Jim: Yes? Billy: I hear radio waves in my head.

You are listening to KAOS in Los Angeles and we've got Billy on the line. Billy: I'm from the valleys. Jim: You're from the valley? Billy: No, Jim you schmuck, the Valleys; male voice choirs, Wales.

Do you really think the Russians would have invaded Afghanistan if Ronald Regan were president?

Hostage: We as a group do most importantly want to beseech President Regan and our fellow Americas to refrain from any form of military or violent means as an attempt, no matter how noble or heroic, to secure our freedom. Concerned Citizen: Sure! Only it's going to be mighty dangerous for you, Cassidy. Hoppy's faithful sidekick: Guess you don't know Hopalong Cassidy, Mister.

Waters" This was because, when the current Floyd line up went out on the road, they used the (infamous) inflatable pig, to float above the audience during the song 'One Of These Days...'. Mr Waters, however, brought (yet another) law suit against them, stating that the pig was all his idea. So to comply with this, they credited him with it, as well as changing the pigs gender! The Wall: Live In Berlin: (The Video) The 'touch up work': 'The last few thousand of the quarter million toiling out of the Potsdamer Platz, Berlin,20 minutes after the end of 'The Wall' were transfixed to hear the whole extravaganza starting up again behind them. Because of substantial technical hitches which afflicted the early part of the performance - including an expanse of dead silence at one point - and the requirements of a live album due for genuine "rush" release within weeks, Roger Waters and the producers had decided they should go straight back out and fill in the blanks. A few days later, with a candour unusual, veering towards the unique, in the history of the live album, Waters headed sceptics off at the pass by revealing the exact extent of the "retouching" involved. The unofficial after-midnight performance provided The Thin Ice (with Ute Lemper). Another Brick In The Wall part 1 and The Band's parts on Mother (Sinead O'Connors vocal, interrupted on the night,was taken from the dress rehearsal). Bryan Adams went into the studio to debug his version of Young Lust, Cyndi Lauper did likewise for Another Brick part 2, and they both added some extracurricular work on The Tide Is Turning, the entire cast encore. All the proceeds from the record are, of course, going to Leonard Cheshire's International Fund For Disaster Relief.' From 'Q' Magazine The song order: Again, different from the original album. The differences: starts with When The Tigers Broke Free, remains true to the original until after Goodbye Blue Sky, where instead of Empty Spaces, we have What Shall We Do Now, ( which is the same as the film version). There's an extra 'jam' at the end of Another Brick 3, and the whole of The Show Must Go On is excluded. To rap it up, Waters adds his 1987 Radio K.A.O.S 'hit' single The Tide Is Turning, after The Trial. FAQ: --- Is there supposed to be a 'Twist' in the sound at the end of "The Great Gig In The Sky" on DSOTM? Well its not the fault of your equipment! The 'Twist' is definitely present on recording of the album, it is safe to assume that it isnt. PF are real perfectionists when it comes to album making, so they'd have re-recorded it if wasn't supposed to be there. How do I tell whether a copy of DSOTM is Quadrophonic? The catalogue number begins with Q4SHVL What's so good about the gold (MFSL) PF CDs? Apart from being gold plated (and, therefore, supposedly to last longer than a normal CD), the pressings are taken from the original master recordings of their albums, rather than later generations that some of CD releases (namely The Capitol ones) seem to be taken from. They are, however, more expensive than the domestic releases (averaging around twice as much). Alternatively, you might try for the (european) Harvest pressings, or the 'Black' Japanese ones, as they both sound almost as good as the MFSL ones, and aren't as expensive. What MFSL releases are currently available? *For those with unlimited overdraft facilities, you can get hold 24 carat gold plated version of DSOTM, MEDDLE, and The Wall. I've seen a cover of ANP with a naked woman with three breasts. Is this rare? This is actually a bootleg called 'A Great Set', a triple album. What is "Objects Of Fantasy"? "Objects Of Fantasy", is an album of floyd music played by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and arranged by David Palmer [available on RCA records catalogue no. 7960-2-RC]. As to whether it's any good, all depends on how much you mind people a) Covering Floyd songs, b) Rearranging them. Did The current floyd line up originally start their MLoR tour with a different set? Yes, they originally had started the set with Echoes, and had Shine On... as a second encore, but changed it after only a few shows to that of DSoT fame. (to be accurate, it was played at shows between 9th and 25th September 1987). Also, for On The Run, they originally used the plane gag, from the original DSOTM tour. This was replaced by the bed. What is the song Wish You Were Here about? "The lyrics which make the most sense to me now, and I'm remembering these from a long time ago, are the lines:- And did you exchange A walk on part in the war For a lead role in a cage It was very much suggested to me by my mother, by my whole background that what life was really about was being an essentially good person, doing good things for other people, the old notion of being here to be good, and working towards Utopia, brotherhood of man, all of us living together as brothers and sisters in a brave new world. The lines are about relinquishing the sense of needing to be a social worker or a freedom fighter or whatever. When you exchange the walk on part in the war you give up your role as a do-gooder, your social role. The lead role in the cage is "up there", the rock'n roller playing the lead role in the consumer society. Being a rock'n roller is a dominant image of success in our society, but it is a cage because the constraints are often just as great as they ever were. In fact they may even be greater... you've got more money, but you have more things, you're more involved in the tyranny of things. You can't buy a feeling that you're alright. You can't buy your way to peace of mind. You can't buy an illusion that things are getting better. In a way it's a schizophrenic song. It's directed at my other half if you like... the battling elements within myself. There's the bit that's concerned with other people, the bit that one applauds in oneself, then there's the grasping avaricious, selfish little kid who wants to get his hands the sweets and have them all. The song slips in and out of both personi so the bit that always wants to win is feeling upset and plaintively saying to the other side, "wish you were here". " Roger Waters 1982 ...But of course, it's all a matter of personal opinion, really... Why is there a blank LP cover on the front cover of some versions of the Ummagumma album, and a other versions, this is filled in with the cover of the soundtrack to the musical 'GiGi'? It appears that US releases of Ummagumma had the 'GiGi' LP blanked out, due to permission difficulties. All the other versions have it though. Why did neither Waters or Gilmour sing "Have a Cigar" . Basically 'cos they both couldn't reach the notes! Roy Harper happened so they asked him to do it (which he did!). Roger is apparently 'unhappy' that he didn't sing it. Bob Ezrin : How did he get acquainted with the band, and what role has he to played in Pink Floyd in the recent years . Err, not quite sure how he got acquainted with the band (anyone?), but apart from co-producing The Wall (on which he also co-wrote The Trial), he's also co-produced Dave Gilmour's second solo piece, About Face, and todays Floyd's MLoR album, on which he also co-wrote Signs Of Life and Learning To Fly I recently picked up a disc by Nick and some guy by the name of Rick Fenn, titled Profiles ...could anyone help me out on info about it? What's the story on Fenn? Rick Fenn, is formerly of 10CC, and I think may have worked with Mike Oldfield. Most of Profiles (as you've probably found) is instrumental, with the exception of a couple of tracks, Lie For A Lie and Israel, whose lyrics were both written by Danny Peyronel. Dave Gilmour sings on Lie For A Lie. (which was released as single, BTW) Did Syd turn up during the WYWH sessions? "During the WYWH sessions a fat, shaven-headed person wearing grey Terylene trousers, a nylon shirt and string vest wandered into the studio. The band ignored the visitor and kept on playing and it was the visiting Andrew King who finally recognised their guest: 'Good God, it's Syd! How did you get like that?' To which Syd replied, 'I've got a very large fridge at home and I've been eating a lot of pork chops.' The whole event was slightly un-nerving since the theme of the album was based on Syd and his subsequent madness." Pink Floyd: The Illustrated Discography Where was DSoT filmed? At Nassau Coliseum, in Uniondale NY (Long Island), USA (over 2 nights) When and why did Rick Wright leave the band? Rick left during the filming of The Wall, which was not confirmed until the release of The Final Cut. Wright has been quoted in saying that it was Roger who effectively told the band that if he (Wright) didn't leave, he would scrap the whole Wall project. Given this pressure Wright, later, just separated from the band. There's are other rumours, that Wright had been taking mucho drugs, and was particularly fit to play anyway, and that Dave was also getting fed up with him too. Which One's Pink?
