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.
