LET THERE BE MORE LIGHT (Waters)

Far, far, far away-way
People heard him say-say
I will find a way-way
There will come a day-day
Something will be done.

Then at last the mighty ship
Descending on a point of flame
Made contact with the human race at Mildenhall

Now, now, now is the time - time
Time to be - be - be aware

Carter's father saw him there
And knew the Rhull revealed to him
The glowing soul of Heremond the Wake.

Oh my, something in my eye-eye
Something in the sky - sky
waiting there for me

The outer hatch rolled slowly back
The service men were heard to see
For there revealed in glowing robes
Was Lucy in the sky

Oh-oh-did you ever know-know
Never ever will they
I can't say

Something in his cosmic art
And glowing slightly from his toes
The psychic and the nations fly

Far, far, far away - far away
People heard him say – say
I'll find some way - way
There will come a day - day
Something will be done.

Then at last the great ship
Descend into a point of flame
Making contact with the human race in Mildenhall

Now, now, now is the time - time
Moment to be - be - be aware

Carter's father saw him there
And he knew that the Rhull had been revealed to him
The incandescent soul of Heremond "The Awakened"

Oh my! something in my eye - eye
Something in the sky - the sky
Waiting for me

The outer hatch rolled slowly
The service men were heard to sigh
To be revealed to them in incandescent

robes
It was Lucy in heaven

Oh - oh - did you ever know - did you know
they will never ever leave
I can not say it

Something in his cosmic art
And slightly incandescent at the tips
The psychic and nations fly.

REMEMBER A DAY (Wright)

Remember a day before today 

A day when you were young. 

Free to play alone with time 

Evening never came.

Sing a song that can't be sung 

Without the morning's kiss 

Queen - you shall be it if you wish 

Look for your king 

Why can't we play today 

Why can't we stay that way

Climb your favorite apple tree 

Try to catch the sun 

Hide from your little brother's gun

Dream yourself away 

Why can't we reach the sun 

Why can't we blow the years away 

Blow away 

Blow away 

Remember 

Remember.

Remember a day before today

one day when you were young

Free to play along with time

Dusk never falls

Sing a song that can't be sung

without the morning kisses

Queen you will be if you wish

find your king

Why can't we play today?

Why can't we be on the road?

Climb your favorite apple tree

Try to catch the sun

Hide from your little brother's gun

dream yourself out

Why can't we reach the sun?

Why can't we push the years away?

push them away

push them away

Remember

Remember.

SET THE CONTROLS FOR THE HEART OF THE SUN (Waters)

Little by little the night turns around

Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn

Lotuses lean on each other in yearning

Under the eaves the swallow is resting

Set the controls for the heart of the sun.

Over the mountain watching the watcher

Breaking the darkness waking the grapevine

One inch of love is one inch of shadow

Love is the shadow that ripens the wine

Set the controls for the heart of the sun. 

Witness the man who raves at the wall?

Making the shape of his questions to heaven

Whether the sun will fall in the evening

Will he remember the lesson of giving?

Set the controls for the heart of the sun

The heart of the sun, The heart of the sun.

Little by little the night turns around.

Counting the leaves that tremble and turn.

The Lotus pose in union with each other.

On the hills where a drink rests.

Adjust the controls for the heart of the sun.

On the mountain that watches the watchman.

Breaking through the darkness awakens the vine.

The morning of birth is born in the shade

Love is the shadow that ripens the wine.

Adjust the controls for the heart of the sun.

The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun.

Who is the man who reaches the wall?

Creating the shapes of your questions when asking.

Thinking that the sun will go down in the afternoon.

Will he remember the lesson I gave him?

Adjust the controls for the heart of the sun.

The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun

CORPORAL CLEGG (Waters)

Corporal Clegg had a wooden leg 

He won it in the war, in 1944. 

Corporal Clegg had a medal too 

In orange, red, and blue 

He found it in the zoo. 

Dear, dear were 

are they really sad for me? 

Dear, dear 

will they really laugh at me?          

Mrs Clegg, you must be proud of him. 

Mrs. Clegg, another drop of gin. 

Corporal Clegg umbrella in the rain 

He's never been the same 

No one is to blame 

Corporal Clegg received his medal in a dream 

From Her Majesty the queen 

His boots were very clean. 

Mrs Clegg, you must be proud of him 

Mrs. Clegg, another drop of gin. 

Corporal Clegg, Corporal Clegg. 

Corporal Clegg had a wooden leg 

I won it in the war, in 1944 

Corporal Clegg also had a medal 

in orange red and blue, 

found it in the zoo. 

Dear oh dear, 

are they really sad for me? 

darling oh darling, 

Or will they actually laugh at me?          

Mrs. Clegg, you must be proud of him.

Mrs Clegg, another dash of gin? 

Corporal Clegg, umbrella in the rain, 

he was never the same again, 

no one is to blame 

Corporal Clegg received his medal in a dream, 

from her majesty, the queen, 

his boots were very clean, 

Mrs. Clegg, you must be very proud of him 

Mrs Clegg, another dash of gin? 

Corporal Clegg, Corporal Clegg. 

A SAUCERFUL OF SECRETS (Waters, Wright, Mason, Gilmour)

Instrumental

SEE-SAW (Wright)

Marigolds are very much in love,

but he doesn't mind 

Picking up his sister,

he makes his way into the seas or land 

All the way she smiles 

She goes up while he goes down, down 

Sits on a stick in the river 

Laughter in his sleep 

Sister's throwing stones, hoping for a hit 

He doesn't know so then 

She goes up while he goes down, down 

Another time, another day 

A brother's way to leave 

Another time, another day 

She'll be selling plastic flowers on a Sunday afternoon

Picking up weeds,

she hasn't got the time to care 

All can see he's not there 

She grows up for another man, and he's down 

Another time, another day 

A brother's way to leave 

Another time, another day 

Another time, another day 

A brother's way to leave.

Marigolds are very much in love, 

but he doesn't care

picking up her sister

he makes his way on the seas or the land

she smiles all the time

She goes up while he goes down, down

Sits on a stick in the river

Laughing in her sleep

The stones thrown by the sister, hoping to hit

He doesn't know then

She goes up while he goes down, down

Another time, another day

A brother's way of leaving

Another time, another day

She will sell plastic flowers on a Sunday afternoon

picking herbs,

she has no time to worry

Everyone can see he's not there

She grows for another man

and he's down, another time, another day

The way to leave a brother

Another time, another day.

Another time, another day

The way to leave a brother.

JUGBAND BLUES (Barrett)

It's awfully considerate 

of you to think of me here 

And I'm much obliged to you 

for making it clear 

That I'm not here. 

And I never knew we 

could be so thick 

And I never knew the moon could be so blue 

And I'm grateful that you threw away my old shoes 

And brought me here instead 

dressed in red 

And I'm wondering who could 

be writing this song. 

I don't care if the sun doesn't shine 

And I don't care if nothing is mine 

And I don't care if I'm nervous with you         _cc781905 -5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_

I'll do my loving in the winter. 

And the sea isn't green 

And I love the queen 

And what exactly is a dream? 

And what exactly is a joke?.

you are horribly considerate

thinking of me here, 

and I am very grateful 

for making me understand 

I'm not here 

I never thought that the room 

could be so big, 

I never thought that the room could be so sad; 

I appreciate you throwing away my old shoes, 

and you have brought me here, instead, 

red dress, 

and I wonder who can be there 

writing this song. 

I don't care if the sun doesn't shine, 

It doesn't matter if nothing is mine, 

y no me importa sentirme incomodo contigo         _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b -136bad5cf58d_

I will love you in winter. 

And the sea is not green, 

and I love the queen, 

and what exactly is a dream? 

And what exactly is a joke?
