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 want to find out what's behind these cold eyes?
You'll just have to claw your way through the
Disguise.
THE THIN ICE
Mamma 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 Babe.
If you should go skating
On the thin ice of mother 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
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 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 derisions
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
Teachers leave the kids alone
Hey teacher leave the kids alone
All in all it's 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
Oooh ma is it just a wasted 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 cosy and warm
Ooooh Babe Ooooh Babe Ooooh 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 tell me
Mother will she make your little boy a toy
Oooh mother will she break my heart
Hush now baby, baby don't you cry
Mama's gonna check out all of your girlfriends for you
Mama won't let anyone dirty get through
Mama's gonna wait up 'till you get in
Mama will always find out where
You've been
Mama's gonna keep baby healthy and clean
Ooooh Babe Ooooh Babe Ooooh Babe
You'll always be a Baby to me.
Mother, did it need to be so high?
GOODBYE BLUE SKY
Ooooooooooooooooooh
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
Unfouled beneath a clear blue sky.
Ooooooooooooooooooh
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.
EMPTY SPASES
What shall we use to fill the empty
Spaces where we used to talk
How shall I fill the final places
How shall I complete the wall.
YOUNG LUST
I'm 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'n'roll refugee
Oooh baby set me free
Ooooooooh I need a dirty woman
Ooooooooh I need a dirty girl.
ONE OF MY TURNS
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 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?
Would you like to see me try?
Oh I don't know
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
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
I need you, Babe,
Why are you running away?
Ooooooh 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'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.
