Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here (Live 1988) Written by Roger Waters and David Gilmour Recorded on August 20, 1988 at Nassau Coliseum, Long Island, New York. So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell Blue skies from pain Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell? And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage? How I wish, how I wish you were here We’re just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl year after year Running over the same old ground What have we found? The same old fears Wish you were here…

Pink Floyd – Us and Them (Live 1988) Written by Roger Waters and Richard Wright Recorded on August 22, 1988 at Nassau Coliseum, Long Island, New York. 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 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 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 fightings all about Out of the way, it’s a busy day And I’ve got things on my mind For want of the price of tea and a slice The old man died…

Pink Floyd – Money (Live 1988) Written by Roger Waters Recorded on August 23, 1988 at Nassau Coliseum, Long Island, New York. Money, get away Get a good job with more pay and your OK Money it’s a gas Grab 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 all right 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 traveling 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 a rise it’s no surprise that they’re giving none away…

Pink Floyd – Sorrow (Live 1988) Written by David Gilmour Recorded on August 23, 1988 at Nassau Coliseum, Long Island, New York. 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 & curdled with fright His knees have trembled & 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 roll 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 – Comfortably Numb (Live 1988) Written by Roger Waters and David Gilmour. Recorded on August 23, 1988 at Nassau Coliseum, Long Island, New York. Hello Is there anybody in there Just nod if you can hear me Is there anyone at home Come on now I hear you’re feeling down I can ease your pain Get you on your feet again Relax I’ll need some information first Just the basic facts Can you show me where it hurts There is no pain, you are receding A distant ship smoke on the horizon You are only coming through in waves Your lips move but I can’t hear what you’re saying When I was a child I had a fever My hands felt just like two balloons Now I’ve got that feeling once again I can’t explain, you would not understand This is not how I am I have become comfortably numb OK Just a little pinprick There’ll be no more aaaaah But you may feel a little sick Can you stand up? I do believe it’s working, good That’ll keep you going through the show Come on it’s time to go There is no pain, you are receding A distant ship smoke on the horizon You are only coming through in waves Your lips move but I can’t hear what you’re saying When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse Out of the corner of my eye I turned to look but it was gone I cannot put my finger on it now The child is grown The dream is gone And I have become Comfortably numb…

Pink Floyd – Shine On You Crazy Diamond Part Two (Live 1988) Written by Roger Waters, David Gilmour and Richard Wright Recorded on August 22, 1988 in Nassau Coliseum, Long Island, New York. Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun Shine on you crazy diamond Now there’s a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky Shine on you crazy diamond You were caught in the cross fire of childhood and stardom, blown on the steel breeze Come on you target for faraway laughter, come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine! You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon Shine on you crazy diamond Threatened by shadows at night and exposed to the light Shine on you crazy diamond Well you wore out your welcome with random precision, rode on the steel breeze Come on you raver, you seer of visions, come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!…

Pink Floyd – On The Turning Away (Live 1988) Written by David Gilmour and Anthony Moore Recorded on August 20, 1988 at Nassau Coliseum, Long Island, New York. On the turning away From the pale and downtrodden And the words they say Which we won’t understand “Don’t accept that what’s happening Is just a case of others’ suffering Or you’ll find that you’re joining in The turning away” It’s a sin that somehow Light is changing to shadow And casting it’s shroud Over all we have known Unaware how the ranks have grown Driven on by a heart of stone We could find that we’re all alone In the dream of the proud On the wings of the night As the daytime is stirring Where the speechless unite In a silent accord Using words you will find are strange And mesmerized as they light the flame Feel the new wind of change On the wings of the night No more turning away From the weak and the weary No more turning away From the coldness inside Just a world that we all must share It’s not enough just to stand and stare Is it only a dream that there’ll be No more turning away?…

Pink Floyd – Yet Another Movie (Live 1988) Written by David Gilmour and Patrick Leonard Recorded on August 19, 1988 at Nassau Coliseum, Long Island, New York. One sound, one single sound One kiss, one single kiss A face outside the window pane However did it come to this? A man who ran, a child who cried A girl who heard, a voice that lied The sun that burned a fiery red The vision of an empty bed The use of force, he was so tough She’ll soon submit, she’s had enough The march of fate, the broken will Someone is lying very still He has laughed and he has cried He has fought and he has died He’s just the same as all the rest He’s not the worst, he’s not the best And still this ceaseless murmuring The babbling that I brook The seas of faces, eyes upraised The empty screen, the vacant look A man in black on a snow white horse, A pointless life has run its course, The red rimmed eyes, the tears still run As he fades into the setting sun…
