IN THE FLESH? (Waters)

​

So already, thought already

Might like to go to 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

​

So I thought maybe

Would you like to go to the show?

To feel the warm shudder 

of confusion.

That space cadet shine

Tell me, is there something that eludes you, maja?

Isn't this what you expected to see?

Would you like to discover what is

behind these cold eyes?

You don't have more to dig

through the disguise

​

​

THE THIN ICE (Waters)

​

mom loves her baby

And daddy loves you too.

And the sea may look warm

And sky may look blue

But oooh babe

oooh baby blue

oooh baby

If you should go scating

On the thin ice

of modern life

Dragging behind you

the silent reproach

of a million tears

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 flowing out behind you

As you claw the thin ice.

​

mom loves her child

And dad loves you too.

And the sea may seem warm.

And the sky may seem blue

But, oooh baby

ooooh little sad

oooh baby

if you were to skate

on the thin ice

of modern life

dragging after you

the silent reproach

of a million eyes

bathed in tears

Do not get surprised,

when a crack in the ice

appear under your feet

emerge from your depths

and of your mind

With your fear emanating from you

As you dig into the thin ice.

ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL PART 1  (Waters)

​

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 just

a brick in the wall

​

Daddy has flown across the ocean

Leaving only a memory

A snapshot in the family album

Dad, what else did you leave for me?

Dad, what did you leave behind for me?

After all, it was no more

than a brick in the wall

After all, they were no more

What bricks in the wall.

​

THE HAPPIEST DAYS OF OUR LIVES (Waters)

​

When we grew up and went to

school.

There were certain teachers

who would.

Hurt the children anyway they

could.

By pouring their derision.

Upon anything we did.

And exposing every

weaknesses.

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

​

When we grew up and went to school

there were some teachers

that they would have done anything

possible to hurt the children.

Spilling his mockery on

whatever we did

And bringing out all

their weaknesses.

For more carefully

that the boys

hide them.

But everyone

knew in town

that when they got home

at night,

Its fat and psychopathic

wives beat them

Almost to kill them.

No dark sarcasm in the classroom

Hey teachers leave us kids alone

All in all it's just

another brick in the wall

All in all you're just

another brick in the wall

​

We don't need no education

we don't need no

thought control

No dark sarcasm in the classroom

Teachers, leave the boys alone.

Hey teachers! leave us boys alone

After all, it's no more

than another brick in the wall

after all, you are no more

than another brick in the wall

GOODBYE BLUE SKY  (Waters)

​

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

Unfurled beneath a

clear blue sky?

ooooooooooooooooooh

Did you see the frightened ones?

Did you hear the falling bombs?

The flames are all gone,

But the pain lingers on.

Goodbye, blue sky

Goodbye, blue sky.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

​

ooooooooooooooooooh

Did you see the scared people?

Did you hear the bombs drop?

did you ever wonder

why did we have to run

looking for shelter?

When the promise of a world

new and honored

Without fears in a sky

blue and lumpy

ooooooooooooooooooh

Did you see the scared people?

Did you hear the bombs drop?

The flames are long gone

But the pain remains.

Goodbye Blue Sky

Goodbye Blue Sky

Bye bye.

Bye bye.

Bye bye.

I am just a new boy

Stranger in this town.

Where are all the good times?

Who's gonna show this stranger around?

Ooooh, I need a dirty woman.

Take this rock and roll refugee.

Take this rock and roll haven.

Ooooooh I need a bad woman

Ooooooh I need a bad girl.

​

ONE OF MY TUNES  (Waters)

​

Day after day, love turns gray

Like the skin of a dying man.

night after night,

we pretend its 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 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,

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 like to see me try?

Would you like to call the cops?

Do you think it's time I stopped?

Why are you running away?

​

Day after day love turns gray

Like the skin of a dying man

Night after night,

we pretend that everything is fine

But I've gotten older and

You have become colder and

Nothing is very fun anymore.

I feel that one

of my attacks is approaching

I feel cold as a razor blade

Rigid as a tourniquet

Dry as a funeral drum.

Run to the bedroom

in the briefcase on the left

you will find my favorite axe.

Don't make that scared face

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 highway?

Do you fancy something to eat?

Do you want to learn to fly?

Do you want to see me try?

Do you want me to call the police?

Do you think it's time for me to stop?

Why do you run away?

​

​

DON'T LEAVE ME NOW  (Waters)

​

oooh baby

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 a pulp on

a Saturday night

Ooooh babe.

Don't leave me now.

How could you treat me this way?

Running away.

I need you, Babe.

Why are you running away?

Oooooh Babe!

​

oooh baby

Do not leave me Now

Don't say it's the end of the journey

Do you remember the flowers I sent you

I need you baby

to make mincemeat

in front of my friends

oooh baby

Do not leave me Now

How can you go?

Knowing that I need you

To give you a good beating

Saturday night?

oooh baby

Do not leave me Now

How can you treat me this way?

running from me

I need you baby

Why do you run away?

Oooh baby!

​

ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL PART 3  (Waters)

​

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 tink I'll need

anything at all

All in all it was all just

bricks in the wall

All in all you were

all bricks in the wall

​

I don't need arms around me

I don't need drugs to calm me down

I've seen what's written on the wall

Don't think I need anything

No, don't think I'm going to need

nothing at all

After all, it wasn't all over

what bricks in the wall

After all, all of you weren't

more than bricks in the wall.
