Crumbling Land

Informatie:

Lyrics/Muziek: Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Richard Wright, Nick Mason
Zang: David Gilmour

Opgenomen voor de film Zabriskie Point, in de categorie “country-style”.

David Gilmour zei eens in een interview over dit nummer: ” “A kind of country & western number which he [Antonioni] could have gotten done better by any number of American bands. But he chose us — very strange.”

The Early Years 1965-1972 Devi/atrion (Crumbling Land Take 1)

Songtekst:

In a while I’ll find the time to make the sunshine mine
In a smile I saw a single needle in the sky
Wheeling, soaring, gliding by

On a hill a little man with many shining things
Shiny pool, a shiny car and shiny diamond rings
Wining, dining, shining king

And the eagle flies in clear blue skys
Breathing in the clear blue air
Back here on the ground another dealer coughs and dies
And fifty more come rolling off
The Ford production line

Then a man appearing like up in our on the sand
In his hand a moving picture of the crumbling land
Screaming, scheming, movie man

Here we go, hold your nose and see if something blows
Close your eyes, count to ten and see the sunrise rise
Climbing, higher, to the sky

Climbing all the birds a lake the dove the lies
On the finger of the king
On high the eagle spies the glitter of a gun
And wheeling in a climbing turn he flies into the sun
