IF (Waters)
​
If I were a swan, I'd be gone.
If I were a train, I'd be late.
And if I were a good man,
I'd talk with you
More often than I do.
If I were to sleep, I could dream.
If I were afraid, I could hide.
If I go insane, please don't put
Your wires in my brain.
If I were the moon, I'd be cool.
If I were a book, I would bend for you.
If I were a good man, I'd understand
The spaces between friends.
If I were alone, I would cry.
And if I were with you, I'd be home and dry.
And if I go insane,
And they lock me away,
Will you still let me join in the game?
​
If I were a swan, I would have left.
If I were a train, I would have been late.
And if I were a good man,
I would have talked to you
more frequently.
If I were to sleep, I could dream.
If I were scared, I could hide.
If I go crazy, please don't put
Your wires in my brain
If I were the moon, I would be fresh.
If I were a book, I would fold for you.
If I were a good man, I would understand
the spaces between friends.
If I were alone, I would cry.
And if I were with you, I'd be home dry.
And if I go crazy,
And they lock me up,
Will you still let me in the game?

SUMMER ´68 (Wright)
​
Would you like to say something before you leave
Perhaps you'd care to state exactly how you feel
We said good-bye before we said hello
I hardly even like you, I shouldn't care at all
We met just six hours ago,
the music was too loud
From your bed I gained a day and lost a bloody year
And I would like to know
How do you feel, how do you feel, how do you feel?
Not a single word was said,h delights still without fears
Occasionally 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 let me know
How do you feel, how do you feel, how do you feel?
Good-bye to you
Charlotte Kringles too
I've had enough for one day.
​
Would you like to say something before leaving?
maybe it's important to say exactly how you feel
We say goodbye before saying hello
You don't like me myself, I shouldn't care,
We've only known each other for six hours,
the music was too loud.
In your bed I gained a day and lost a damn year. _cc781905-5cde-3194 -bb3b-136bad5cf58d_
I would like to know,
How do you feel, how do you feel, how do you feel?
Not a single word was said, I see the pleasure if the fear.
Sometimes you showed a smile,
but was there any need for that?
I felt your coldness very early, like in the winds of 1895.
My friends are lying in the sun.
I would like to be there.
Tomorrow will bring another city
and another girl like you.
Do you have time to receive another man before leaving?
Just let me know,
How do you feel, how do you feel, how do you feel?
Goodbye to you
also to Charlotte Kringle,
I had enough for one day.

FAT OLD SUN (Gilmour)
​
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.
​
When the fat old sun is going down
The evening birds are calling
Summer thunder time of year
The sound of music in my ears
Distant bells, freshly cut grass
Scents so sweet
By the river holding hands
They lift me up and put me down
And if you sit don't make a sound
Get your feet off the ground
And if you listen to how the hot night falls
the silvery sound of such a strange time
Sing to me, Sing to me
When the fat old sun is going down
The evening birds are calling
Children's laughter in my ears
The last ray disappears
And if you listen to how the hot night falls
the silvery sound of such a strange time
Sing to me, Sing to me
When the fat old sun is going down.
