Speak to Me<\/strong>
\n(Mason) 1: 16<\/p>\n

“I’ve been mad for fucking years, absolutely years, been over the edge for yonks, been working me buns off for bands…”<\/p>\n

“I’ve always been mad, I know I’ve been mad, like the most of us… very hard to explain why you’re mad, even if you’re not mad…”<\/p>\n

Cf. Dark Side of the Moon @ Amazon<\/a><\/div>\n

Breathe<\/strong>
\n(Waters, Gilmour, Wright) 2: 44<\/p>\n

Breathe, breathe in the air.
\nDon’t be afraid to care.
\nLeave but don’t leave me.
\nLook around and choose your own ground.<\/p>\n

Long you live and high you fly
\nAnd smiles you’ll give and tears you’ll cry
\nAnd all you touch and all you see
\nIs all your life will ever be.<\/p>\n

Run, rabbit run.
\nDig that hole, forget the sun,
\nAnd when at last the work is done
\nDon’t sit down it’s time to dig another one.<\/p>\n

For long you live and high you fly
\nBut only if you ride the tide
\nAnd balanced on the biggest wave
\nYou race towards an early grave.<\/p>\n

On The Run<\/strong>
\n(Gilmour, Waters) 3: 32<\/p>\n

“Live for today, gone tomorrow, that’s me, HaHaHaaaaaa!”<\/p>\n

Time<\/strong>
\nMason, Waters, Wright, Gilmour) 7: 06<\/p>\n

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
\nYou fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
\nKicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
\nWaiting for someone or something to show you the way.<\/p>\n

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
\nYou are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
\nAnd then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
\nNo one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.<\/p>\n

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it’s sinking
\nRacing around to come up behind you again.
\nThe sun is the same in a relative way but you’re older,
\nShorter of breath and one day closer to death.<\/p>\n

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
\nPlans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
\nHanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
\nThe time is gone, the song is over,
\nThought I’d something more to say.<\/p>\n

Cf. Dark Side of the Moon @ Amazon<\/a><\/div>\n

Breathe (reprise)<\/strong>
\n7: 06<\/p>\n

Home, home again.
\nI like to be here when I can.
\nWhen I come home cold and tired
\nIt’s good to warm my bones beside the fire.
\nFar away across the field
\nThe tolling of the iron bell
\nCalls the faithful to their knees
\nTo hear the softly spoken magic spells.<\/p>\n

The Great Gig in the Sky<\/strong>
\n(Wright) 4: 44<\/p>\n

“And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I
\ndon’t mind. Why should I be frightened of dying?
\nThere’s no reason for it, you’ve gotta go sometime.”<\/p>\n

“If you can hear this whispering you are dying.”<\/p>\n

“I never said I was frightened of dying.”<\/p>\n

Money<\/strong>
\n(Waters) 6: 32<\/p>\n

Money, get away.
\nGet a good job with good pay and you’re okay.
\nMoney, it’s a gas.
\nGrab that cash with both hands and make a stash.
\nNew car, caviar, four star daydream,
\nThink I’ll buy me a football team.<\/p>\n

Money, get back.
\nI’m all right Jack keep your hands off of my stack.
\nMoney, it’s a hit.
\nDon’t give me that do goody good bullshit.
\nI’m in the high-fidelity first class traveling set
\nAnd I think I need a Lear jet.<\/p>\n

Money, it’s a crime.
\nShare it fairly but don’t take a slice of my pie.
\nMoney, so they say
\nIs the root of all evil today.
\nBut if you ask for a raise it’s no surprise that they’re
\ngiving none away.<\/p>\n

“HuHuh! I was in the right!”
\n“Yes, absolutely in the right!”
\n“I certainly was in the right!”
\n“You was definitely in the right. That geezer was cruising for a bruising!”
\n“Yeah!”
\n“Why does anyone do anything?”
\n“I don’t know, I was really drunk at the time!”
\n“I was just telling him, he couldn’t get into number
\n2. He was asking why he wasn’t coming up on freely, after I was yelling and
\nscreaming and telling him why he wasn’t coming up on freely.
\nIt came as a heavy blow, but we sorted the matter out”<\/p>\n

Us and Them<\/strong>
\n(Waters, Wright) 7: 40<\/p>\n

Us, and them
\nAnd after all we’re only ordinary men.
\nMe, and you.
\nGod only knows it’s noz what we would choose to do.
\nForward he cried from the rear
\nand the front rank died.
\nAnd the general sat and the lines on the map
\nmoved from side to side. By
\nBlack and blue
\nAnd who knows which is which and who is who.
\nUp and down.
\nBut in the end it’s only round and round.
\nHaven’t you heard it’s a battle of words
\nThe poster bearer cried.
\nListen son, said the man with the gun
\nThere’s room for you inside.<\/p>\n

“I mean, they’re not gunna kill ya, so if you give ’em a quick short,
\nsharp, shock, they won’t do it again. Dig it? I mean he get off
\nlightly, ‘cos I would’ve given him a thrashing – I only hit him once!
\nIt was only a difference of opinion, but really… I mean
\ngood manners
\ndon’t cost nothing do they, eh?”<\/p>\n

Down and out
\nIt can’t be helped but there’s a lot of it about.
\nWith, without.
\nAnd who’ll deny it’s what the fighting’s all about?
\nOut of the way, it’s a busy day
\nI’ve got things on my mind.
\nFor the want of the price of tea and a slice
\nThe old man died.<\/p>\n

Cf. Dark Side of the Moon @ Amazon<\/a><\/div>\n

Brain Damage<\/strong>
\n(Waters) 3: 50<\/p>\n

The lunatic is on the grass.
\nThe lunatic is on the grass.
\nRemembering games and daisy chains and laughs.
\nGot to keep the loonies on the path.<\/p>\n

The lunatic is in the hall.
\nThe lunatics are in my hall.
\nThe paper holds their folded faces to the floor
\nAnd every day the paper boy brings more.<\/p>\n

And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
\nAnd if there is no room upon the hill
\nAnd if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
\nI’ll see you on the dark side of the moon.<\/p>\n

The lunatic is in my head.
\nThe lunatic is in my head
\nYou raise the blade, you make the change
\nYou re-arrange me ’til I’m sane.
\nYou lock the door
\nAnd throw away the key
\nThere’s someone in my head but it’s not me.<\/p>\n

And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
\nYou shout and no one seems to hear.
\nAnd if the band you’re in starts playing different tunes
\nI’ll see you on the dark side of the moon.<\/p>\n

“I can’t think of anything to say except…
\nI think it’s marvelous! HaHaHa!”<\/p>\n

Eclipse<\/strong>
\n(Waters) 2: 04<\/p>\n

All that you touch
\nAll that you see
\nAll that you taste
\nAll you feel.
\nAll that you love
\nAll that you hate
\nAll you distrust
\nAll you save.
\nAll that you give
\nAll that you deal
\nAll that you buy,
\nbeg, borrow or steal.
\nAll you create
\nAll you destroy
\nAll that you do
\nAll that you say.
\nAll that you eat
\nAnd everyone you meet
\nAll that you slight
\nAnd everyone you fight.
\nAll that is now
\nAll that is gone
\nAll that’s to come
\nand everything under the sun is in tune
\nbut the sun is eclipsed by the moon.<\/p>\n

“There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact
\nit’s all dark.”<\/p>\n
