Goodbye Cruel World (Waters) Goodbye cruel world, I’m leaving you today. Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye. Goodbye, all you people, There’s nothing you can say To make me change my mind. Goodbye….

The Happiest Days of our Lives (Waters) ************************************************** When we grew up and went to school There were certain teachers who would Hurt the children in any way they could “OOF!” [someone being hit] By pouring their derision Upon anything we did And exposing every weakness However carefully hidden by the kids But in the town, it was well known Another Brick in the Wall Part 1 (Waters) ***************************************** Daddy’s flown across the ocean ……

The Thin Ice Momma loves her baby And daddy loves you too. And the sea may look warm to you babe And the sky may look blue But ooooh Baby Ooooh baby blue Oooooh babe. If you should go skating On the thin ice of modern life Dragging behind you the silent reproach Of a million tear-stained eyes Don’t be surprised when a crack in the ice Appears under your feet. You slip out of your depth and out of your mind With your fear flowing out behind you As you claw the thin ice…….

Through the fish-eyed lens of tear stained eyes I can barely define the shape of this moment in time And far from flying high in clear blue skies I’m spiraling down to the hole in the ground where I hide. If you negotiate the minefield in the drive And beat the dogs and cheat the cold electronic eyes And if you make it past the shotgun in the hall, Dial the combination, open the priesthole And if I’m in I’ll tell you what’s behind the wall. There’s a kid who had a big hallucination Making ……

Floating down through the clouds Memories come rushing up to meet me now. In the space between the heavens and in the corner of some foreign field I had a dream. I had a dream. Good-bye Max. Good-bye Ma. After the service when you’re walking slowly to the car And the silver in her hair shines in the cold November air You hear the tolling bell And touch the silk in your lapel And as the tear drops rise to meet the comfort of the band You take her frail hand And hold on to the dream. A place ……

Tell me true, tell me why, was Jesus crucified Is it for this that Daddy died? Was it for you? Was it me? Did I watch too much TV? Is that a hint of accusation in your eyes?

What have we done, Maggie what have we done? What have we done to England? Should we shout, should we scream “What happened ……

Richard Wright – Would you like to say something before you leave Perhaps you’d care to state exactly how you feel We said good-bye before we said hello I hardly even like you, I shouldn’t care at all We met just six hours ago, the music was too loud From your bed I gained a day and lost a bloody year And I would like to know How do you feel, how do you feel, how do you feel? Not a single word was said, delights still without fears Occasionally you showed a smile but what was the need I felt ……

Roger Waters- ———————– If I were a swan, I’d be gone. If I were a train, I’d be late. And if I were a good man, I’d talk with you More often than I do. If I were to sleep, I could dream. If I were afraid, I could hide. If I go insane, please don’t put Your wires in my brain. If I were the moon, I’d be cool. If I were a book, I would bend for you. If I were a good man, I’d understand The spaces between friends. If I were alone, I would cry. And if I were with you, I’d be home ……
