01. SPEAK TO ME

08. US AND THEM

"I've been mad for fucking years. Absolutely years. I've been over the edge for yonks. Been working me buns off ..."

"I've always been mad. I know I've been mad, like the most of us are. Very hard to explain why you're mad, even if you're not mad."

"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"

Breathe, breathe in the air

Don't be afraid to care

Leave, but don't leave me

Look around and choose your own ground

For long you live and high you fly

And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry

And all you touch and all you see

Is all your live will ever be

Run, rabbit run

Dig that hole, forget the sun,

And when at last the work is done

Don't sit down it's time to start another one

For long you live and high you fly

But only if you ride the tide

And balanced on the biggest wave

You race towards an early grave.

[female announcer, announcing flights at airport, including 'Rome']

"Live for today and gone tomorrow, that's me."

"Ha, ha, ha, ha!"

- Instrumentaal -

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day

You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way

Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town

Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain

You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today

And then one day you find ten years have got behind you

No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking

And racing around to come up behind you again

The sun is the same in the relative way, but you're older

Shorter of breathe and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time

Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines

Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way

The time is gone the song is over, thought I'd something more to say.

Home, home again

I like to be there when I can

When I come home cold and tired

It's good to warm my bones beside the fire

Far away across the field

The tolling of the iron bell

Calls the faithful to their knees

To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

"And I'm not frightened of dying. Any time will do, I don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying?. There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime."

"If you can hear this whispering you are dying."

"I never said I was frightened of dying."

- Instrumentaal -

Money, get away

Get a good job with more pay and you're O.K.

Money, it's a gas

Crab that cash with both hands and make a stash

New car, caviar, four star daydream,

Think I'll buy me a football team

Money, get back

I'm alright Jack keep your hands off my stack.

Money, it's a hit

Don't give me that do goody good bullshit

I'm in the hi-fidelity first class travelling set

And I think I need a Lear Jet

Money, it's a crime

Share it fairly, but don't take a slice of my pie

Money, so they say

Is the root of all evil today

But if you ask for rise it's no surprise that they're

Giving none away.

"Huh, huh, I was in the right!"

"Yes absolutely in the right!"

"I certainly was in the right!"

"You was definitely in the right. That geezer was cruising for a bruising!"

"Yeah!"

"Why does anyone do anything?"

"I don't know, I was really drunk at the time!"

"I was just telling him it's in Punkington nr. 2. He was asking why he wasn't coming up on freely.

After I was yelling and screaming and telling him why he wasn't coming up on freely."

"I certainly was in the right."

"It came as a heavy blow, but we sorted the matter out."

"Why does anyone do anything?"

"I don't know who was really drunk at the time."

08. US AND THEM

Us, and them

And after all we're only ordinary men

Me, and you

God only knows it's not what we would choose to do

Forward he cried from the rear

And the front rank died

And the General sat, and the lines on the map

Moved from side to side

Black and blue

And who knows which is which and who is who

Up and down

And in the end it's only round and round and round

Haven't you heard it's a battle of words

The poster bearer cried

Listen son, said the man with the gun

There's room for you inside

"I mean, they're not gonna kill ya, so if you give 'em a quick short,

sharp, shock, they won't do it again. Dig it? I mean he get off lightly,

'cos I would've given him a thrashing - I only hit him once!

It was only a difference of opinion, but really...I mean good manners don't cost nothing do they, eh?"

Down and out

It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about

With, without

And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about

Out of the way, it's a busy day

I've got things on my mind

For want of the price of a tea and a slice

the old man died.

- Instrumentaal -

The lunatic is on the grass

The lunatic is on the grass

Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs

Got to keep the loonies on the path

The lunatic is in the hall

The lunatics are in my hall

The paper holds their folded faces to the floor

And every day the paper boy brings more

And if the dam breaks open many years too soon

And if there is no room upon the hill

And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too

I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

The lunatic is in my head

The lunatic is in my head

You raise the blade, you make the change

You re-arrange me 'till I'm sane

You lock the door

And throw away the key

There's someone in my head but it's not me

And if the clouds bursts, thunder in your ear

You shout and no one seems to hear

And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes

I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.

"I can't think of anything to say, except..."

"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"

"I think it's marvelous! Ha, ha, ha!"

All that you touch

All that you see

All that you taste

All you feel

All that you love

All that you hate

All you distrust

All you save

All that you give

All that you deal

All that you buy

Beg, borrow or steal

All you create

All you destroy

All that you do

All that you say

All that you eat

Everyone you meet

All that you slight

Everyone you fight

All that is now

All that is gone

All that's to come

And everything under the sun is in tune

But the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

"There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact it's all dark!"
