Pink Floyd - Mother Lyrics

Pink Floyd - Mother Video

Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb
Mother do you think they'll like the song
Mother do you think they'll try to break my balls
Mother should I build a wall
 
Mother should I run for president
Mother should I trust the government
Mother will they put me in the firing line
Is it just a waste of time
 
Hush now baby, baby don't you cry
Mama's gonna make all of your
Nightmares come true
Mama's gonna put all of her fears into you
Mama's gonna keep you right here
Under her wing
She won't let you fly but she might let you sing
Mama's gonna keep baby cosy and warm
Ooooh babe, ooooh babe, ooooh babe
Of course Mama's gonna help build the wall
 
Mother do you think she's good enough
For me
Mother do you think she's dangerous
To me
Mother will she tear your little boy apart
Mother will she break my heart
 
Hush now baby, baby don't you cry
Mama's gonna check out all your girlfriends for you
Mama won't let anyone dirty get through
Mama's gonna wait up till you get in
Mama will always find out where
You've been
Mama's gonna keep baby healthy and clean
Ooooh babe, ooooh babe, ooooh babe
You'll always be a baby to me
 
Mother, did it need to be so high

Pink Floyd - The Nile Song Lyrics

Pink Floyd - The Nile Song Video

I was standing by the Nile
When I saw the lady smile
I would take her for a while
For a while
 
Like tears wept like a child
How her golden hair was blowing wild
Then she spread her wings to fly
For to fly
 
Soaring high above the breezes
Going always where she pleases
She will make it to the island in the Sun
 
I will follow in her shadow
And I'll watch her from my window
One day I will catch her eye
 
She is calling from the deep
Summoning my soul to endless sleep
She is bound to drag me down
Drag me down

Pink Floyd - Run Like Hell Lyrics

Pink Floyd - Run Like Hell Video

Spoken, chanted Pink Floyd, Pink Floyd1
 
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
 
You better make your face up in
Your favourite disguise
With your button down lips and your
Roller blind eyes
With your empty smile
And your hungry heart
Feel the bile rising from your guilty past
With your nerves in tatters
As the cockleshell shatters
And the hammers batter
Down the door
You better run like hell
 
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
 
You better run all day
And run all night
And keep your dirty feelings
Deep inside. And if you're
Taking your girlfriend
Out tonight
You better park the car
Well out of sight
'Cause if they catch you in the back seat
Trying to pick her locks
They're gonna send you back to mother
In a cardboard box
You better run
 
Spoken Hey, open up! HaHaHaHaHaaaaaaaaaa!
sound of car skidding, followed by loud scream
chanting Hammer, Hammer...1

Pink Floyd - Paranoid Eyes Lyrics

Pink Floyd - Paranoid Eyes Video

Button your lip and don't let the shield slip ( (#Notes|1))
Take a fresh grip on your bullet proof mask
And if they try to break down your disguise with their questions
You can hide hide hide
Behind paranoid eyes
 
You put on our brave face and slip over the road for a jar
Fixing your grin as you casually lean on the bar
Laughing too loud at the rest of the world
With the boys in the crowd
You can hide hide hide ( (#Notes|2))
Behind petrified eyes
 
You believed in their stories of fame fortune and glory
Now you're lost in a haze of alcohol soft middle age
The pie in the sky turned out to be miles too high
And you hide hide hide
Behind brown and mild eyes

Pink Floyd - Stay Lyrics

Pink Floyd - Stay Video

Stay
And help me to end the day
And if you don't mind
We'll break a bottle of wine
Stick around
And maybe we'll put one down
'Cause I wanna find
What lies behind those eyes
Midnight blue burning gold
A yellow moon is growing cold
 
I rise
Looking through my morning eyes
Surprised
To find you by my side
Rack my brain
And try to remember your name
To find
The words to tell you goodbye
Morning dues new born day
Midnight blue turned to grey
 
Midnight blue burning gold
A yellow moon is growing cold

Pink Floyd - Sorrow Lyrics

Pink Floyd - Sorrow Video

The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land
Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky
A man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers
But awakes to a morning with no reason for waking
 
He's haunted by the memory of a lost paradise
In his youth or a dream, he can't be precise
He's chained forever to a world that's departed
It's not enough, it's not enough
 
His blood has frozen and curdled with fright
His knees have trembled and given way in the night
His hand has weakened at the moment of truth
His step has faltered
 
One world, one soul
Time pass, the river rolls
 
And he talks to the river of lost love and dedication
And silent replies that swirl invitation
Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea
A grim intimation of what is to be
 
There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night
And there's dust in my eyes that blinds my sight
And silence that speaks so much louder than words
Of promises broken

Pink Floyd - Pigs (Three Different Ones) Lyrics

Pink Floyd - Pigs (Three Different Ones) Video

Big man, pig man, ha ha charade you are
You well heeled big wheel, ha ha charade you are
And when your hand is on your heart
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost a joker
With your head down in the pig bin
Saying, Keep on digging.
Pig stain on your fat chin
What do you hope to find?
Down in the pig mine 1
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry
 
Bus stop rat bag, ha ha charade you are
You fucked up old hag, ha ha charade you are
You radiate cold shafts of broken glass
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost worth a quick grin
You like the feel of steel
You're hot stuff with a hat pin
And good fun with a hand gun
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry
 
Hey you, Whitehouse, ha ha charade you are
You house proud town mouse, ha ha charade you are
You're trying to keep our feelings off the street
You're nearly a real treat
All tight lips and cold feet
And do you feel abused?
.....! ......! ......! ......!
You gotta stem the evil tide
And keep it all on the inside
Mary you're nearly a treat
Mary you're nearly a treat
But you're really a cry

Pink Floyd - Hey You Lyrics

Pink Floyd - Hey You Video

Hey you, out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old
Can you feel me?
Hey you, standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles
Can you feel me?
Hey you, don't help them to bury the light
Don't give in without a fight
 
Hey you, out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone
Would you touch me?
Hey you, with your ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out
Would you touch me?
Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?
Open your heart, I'm coming home
 
But it was only fantasy
The wall was too high
As you can see
No matter how he tried
He could not break free
And the worms ate into his brain
 
Hey you, out there on the road
Always doing what you're told
Can you help me?
Hey you, out there beyond the wall
Breaking bottles in the hall
Can you help me?
Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall
 
(Click of TV being turned on)
Well, only got an hour of daylight left. Better get started.
Isn't it unsafe to travel at night?
It'll be a lot less safe to stay here. Your father's gonna pick up our trail before long.
Can Loca ride?
Yeah, I can ride. Magaret, time to go! Maigret, thank you for everything.
Goodbye, Chenga.
Goodbye, miss...
I'll be back.

Pink Floyd - Sheep Lyrics

Pink Floyd - Sheep Video

Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland away
Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air
You better watch out
There may be dogs about
I've looked over Jordan, and I have seen
Things are not what they seem
 
What do you get for pretending the danger's not real
Meek and obedient, you follow the leader
Down well trodden corridors, into the valley of steel
What a surprise!
A look of terminal shock in your eyes
Now things are really what they seem
No, this is no bad dream
 
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He makes me down to lie
Through pastures green He leadeth me the silent waters by
With bright knives He releaseth my soul
He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places
He converteth me to lamb cutlets
For lo, He hath great power, and great hunger
When cometh the day we lowly ones
Through quiet reflection, and great dedication
Master the art of karate
Lo, we shall rise up
And then we'll make the bugger's eyes water.1
 
Bleating and babbling we fell on his neck with a scream 2
Wave upon wave of demented avengers
March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream
 
Have you heard the news?
The dogs are dead!
You better stay home
And do as you're told
Get out of the road if you want to grow old

Pink Floyd - Time Lyrics

Pink Floyd - Time Video

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand 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
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older
Shorter of breath 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
 
Breathe Reprise
 
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired1
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 spell
