Pink invites a groupie into his room after learning of his wife’s affair. At first when the groupie tries to get his attention, he is too busy thinking of his wife to hear her, and the song is largely a description of his failed relationship with his wife. A TV can be heard in the background, the dialog mixed in with the groupie’s conversation. As the groupie continues to try to get his attention, Pink explodes into a fit of violence and destroys his room which drives the groupie away. Lyrically, the explosion of violence toward the groupie is a metaphor for fear-based explosions of anger at his wife. At the end of the song Pink puts on a darkly sarcastic tone and starts nonchalantly telling the groupie about his “favourite axe” (in this case, axe means guitar – perhaps a reference to the early Pink Floyd song “Careful with that Axe, Eugene”) and asks her “would you like something to eat”, a reference to the groupie helping herself to a glass of water. As the groupie flees the room he screams “Why are you running away?”, feeling pity for himself. Lyrics : Day after day, love turns gray Like the skin of a dying man. Night after night, we pretend its all right But I have grown older and You have grown colder and Nothing is very much fun any more. And I can feel one of my turns coming on. I feel cold as a razor blade, Tight as a tourniquet, Dry as a funeral drum. Run to the bedroom, In the suitcase on the left You’ll find my favorite axe. Don’t look so frightened This is ……

Live alla Rocca di Noale del 25 Agosto 2009

Dogs are used to represent megalomaniacal businessmen who destroy themselves and those around them by obsessing over their egos and their careers. A number of comparisons are made and metaphors used to show how close these businessmen are with dogs, for example “Got to be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed” the meat representing deals and opportunities for the businessmen. It is a long, increasingly haunting song at over seventeen minutes. The final verse explores a number of aspects of business life and how it compares to dogs, for example taking chances and being “trained not to spit in the fan”, losing their individuality “broken by trained personnel”, obeying their superiors “fitted with collar and chain”, getting treats for good behaviour “given a pat on the back”, being better than everyone else “breaking away from the pack” and getting to know everyone but spending less time with family “only a stranger at home”. Every line of this verse begins with the word “Who”, which prompted comparison to Allen Ginsberg’s poem “Howl”. This song and the use of the word “Who” at the beginning of every line of the final verse also illustrates the influence that Roy Harper had on the band. Roy Harper had used this technique on the song “The Lord’s Prayer” from his 1973 Lifemask album. Harper sang over 90 lines of a verse beginning with the words “whose” and “who”. Roy Harper also sang on the song “Have a Cigar” from the Wish You Were Here album. The song ……

In a brief prologue, birds are heard chirping peacefully. The sound of approaching bombers catches the attention of a child (voiced by a young Harry Waters), who states, “Look mummy, there’s an aeroplane up in the sky”. The lyrics go on to describe the memory of the Blitz: Did you see the frightened ones? Did you hear the falling bombs? Did you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter when the promise of a brave new world unfurled beneath a clear blue sky?… The flames are all long gone but the pain lingers on. Goodbye, blue sky. Lyrics : Look mummy, there’s an aeroplane up in the sky” Did-did-did-did-you see the frightened ones? Did-did-did-did-you hear the falling bombs? Did-did-did-did-you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter When the promise of a brave new world Unfurled beneath a clear blue sky? Did-did-did-did-you see the frightened ones? Did-did-did-did-you hear the falling bombs? The flames are all long gone, but the pain lingers on. Goodbye, blue sky Goodbye, blue sky. Goodbye. “The 11:15 from Newcastle is now approaching” “The 11:18 arrival….”…

As with other songs on The Wall, “Empty Spaces” tells a segment of the story of Pink, the album’s protagonist. Pink is now grown up and married, but he and his wife are having relationship problems because of his distance due to his halfway built ‘wall’. Pink wonders what he should use to complete its construction. Lyrics : Empty Spaces What shall we use to fill the empty spaces Where waves of hunger roar? Shall we set out across this sea of faces In search of more and on applause? What Shall we do Now? Shall we buy a new guitar? Shall we drive a more powerful car? Shall we work straight through the night? Shall we get into fights? Leave the lights on? Drop bombs? Do tours of the east? Contract disease? Bury bones? Break up homes? Send flowers by phone? Take to drink? Go to shrinks? Give up meat? Rarely sleep? Keep people as pets? Train dogs? Raise rats? Fill the attic with cash? Bury treasure? Store up leisure? But never relax at all With our backs to the wall Backs to the Wall…

“Brain Damage” is the ninth track (or eighth, depending on the album release) from British progressive rock band Pink Floyd’s 1973 album, The Dark Side of the Moon. It was sung by Roger Waters. David Gilmour took over as lead vocalist when the band performed it live on the band’s 1994 tour (as can be seen on Pulse). The band originally called this track “Lunatic” during live performances and recording sessions. The song is often mistakenly labeled “Dark Side of the Moon” alongside “Eclipse” because the two run together and are commonly played together on the radio, giving the impression that they are one song. The incorrect title is derived from a recurring lyric in “Brain Damage” (“I’ll see you on the dark side of the moon”) and the title of the album….
