1.1.  In the Flesh?


[Intro: Richard Wright]
...we came in

[Verse: Roger Waters]
So ya thought ya might like to go to the show
To feel the warm thrill of confusion, that space cadet glow
Tell me, is something eluding you, sunshine
Is this not what you expected to see
If you wanna find out what's behind these cold eyes
You'll just have to claw your way through this disguise

[Bridge: Roger Waters]
Lights!
Roll the sound effects!
Action!
Drop it, drop it on 'em
Drop it, drop it on them!
*Airplane descending*

[Outro]
*Baby Crying*


1.2.  The Thin Ice


[Intro]
*Baby Crying*

[Verse 1: David Gilmour]
Momma loves her baby
And Daddy loves you too
And the sea may look warm to you, babe
And the sky may look blue
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, babe
Ooh-ooh-ooh, baby blue
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, babe

[Verse 2: Roger Waters]
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'll slip out of your depth and out of your mind
With your fear flowing out behind you
As you claw the thin ice


1.3.  Another Brick in the Wall (Part 1)


[Verse]
Daddy's flown across the ocean
Leaving just a memory
A snapshot in the family album
Daddy, what else did you leave for me
Daddy, what'd ya leave behind for me

[Refrain]
All in all, it was just a brick in the wall
All in all, it was all just bricks in the wall

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Hey!
*Children playing*


1.4.  The Happiest Days of Our Lives


[Intro: Roger Waters]
You! Yes, you! Stand still, laddie!

[Verse 1: Roger Waters]
When we grew up and went to school
There were certain teachers who
Would hurt the children in any way they could (Oof!)
By pouring their derision upon anything we did
Exposing every weakness
However carefully hidden by the kid

[Verse 2: Roger Waters]
But in the town, it was well known
When they got home at night
Their fat and psychopathic wives would thrash them
Within inches of their lives


1.5.  Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)


[Intro]

[Verse 1: Roger Waters & David Gilmour]
We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teacher, leave them kids alone

[Pre-Chorus: Roger Waters & David Gilmour]
Hey, teacher, leave them kids alone

[Chorus: Roger Waters & David Gilmour]
All in all, it's just another brick in the wall
All in all, you're just another brick in the wall

[Verse 2: Islington Green School Students]
We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers, leave them kids alone

[Pre-Chorus: Islington Green School Students]
Hey, teacher, leave us kids alone!

[Chorus: Islington Green School Students]
All in all, you're just another brick in the wall
All in all, you're just another brick in the wall

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro: Roger Waters]
Wrong, do it again
Wrong, do it again
If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding
(Wrong, do it again)
How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat
(Wrong, do it again)
(If you don't eat your meat)
You, yes, you behind the bike sheds, stand still, laddie
(If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding
How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat )
(You, yes, you behind the bike sheds, stand still, laddie)


1.6.  Mother


[Verse 1: Roger Waters]
Mother, do you think they'll drop the bomb
Mother, do you think they'll like this song
Mother, do you think they'll try to break my balls
Ooh-ah, Mother, should I build the wall

[Verse 2: Roger Waters]
Mother, should I run for president
Mother, should I trust the government
Mother, will they put me in the firing line
Ooh-ah, is it just a waste of time

[Chorus: David Gilmour]
Hush now, baby, baby, don't you cry
Mamma's gonna make all of your nightmares come true
Mamma's gonna put all of her fears into you
Mamma's gonna keep you right here, under her wing
She won't let you fly, but she might let you sing
Mamma's gonna keep baby cozy and warm

[Post-Chorus: David Gilmour]
Ooh babe, ooh babe, ooh babe
Of course Mamma's gonna help build the wall

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3: Roger Waters]
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
Ooh-ah, Mother, will she break my heart

[Chorus: David Gilmour]
Hush now, baby, baby, don't you cry
Mamma's gonna check out all your girlfriends for you
Mamma won't let anyone dirty get through
Mamma's gonna wait up until you get in
Mamma will always find out where you've been
Mamma's gonna keep baby healthy and clean

[Post-Chorus: David Gilmour]
Ooh babe, ooh babe, ooh babe
You'll always be 'baby' to me

[Outro: Roger Waters]
Mother, did it need to be so high


1.7.  Goodbye Blue Sky


[Spoken Intro: Harry Waters]
Look, Mummy!
There's an aeroplane up in the sky

[Verse 1: David Gilmour]
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
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 the clear blue sky

[Verse 2: David Gilmour]
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
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

[Outro: David Gilmour]
Goodbye, blue sky
Goodbye, blue sky
Goodbye
Goodbye

[Verse: Roger Waters]
What shall we use to fill the empty spaces
Where we used to talk
How shall I fill the final places
How should I complete the wall


1.9.  Young Lust


[Verse 1: David Gilmour]
(Ah) I am just a new boy
A stranger in this town
Where are all the good times
Who's gonna show this stranger around

[Chorus: David Gilmour & Roger Waters]
Ooh, I need a dirty woman
Ooh, I need a dirty girl

[Verse 2: David Gilmour]
Will some woman in this desert land
Make me feel like a real man
Take this rock-and-roll refugee
Ooh, baby, set me free

[Chorus: David Gilmour & Roger Waters]
Ooh, I need a dirty woman
Ooh, I need a dirty girl

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus: David Gilmour & Roger Waters]
Ooh, I need a dirty woman
Ooh, I need a dirty girl

[Outro]
*Phone beeping*
'Hello '
'Yes, a collect call for Mrs. Floyd from Mr. Floyd. Will you accept the charge, it's from the United States '
*Phone clicks*
'Oh, he hung up. That's your residence, right? Well, I wonder why he hung up. Is there supposed to be someone out there besides your wife there to answer '
*Phone redials and beeps again*
'Hello '
'This is the United States calling. Are we reaching…'
*Phone clicks*
'See, he keeps hanging up, and it's a man answering.'


1.10.  One of My Turns


[Intro]
'Oh my God! What a fabulous room! Are all these your guitars '
('I'm sorry sir, I didn't mean to startle you')
'God! This place is bigger than our apartment!'
('Let me know when you're entering a room')
('Yes, sir')
'Um, can I get a drink of water '
('I was wondering about')
'You want some, huh '
('Yes')
'Oh, wow! Hey, look at this tub! Wanna take a bath '
('I'll have to find out from Mrs. Bancroft what time she wants to meet us, for her main')
'What are you watching '
('If you'll just let me know as soon as you can, Mrs. Bancroft… Mrs. Bancroft')
'Hello '
('I don't understand')
'Are you feeling okay '

[Verse 1: Roger Waters]
Day after day, the love turns grey
Like the skin of a dying man
And night after night, we pretend it's 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

[Verse 2: Roger Waters]
Run to the bedroom, in the suitcase on the left
You'll find my favourite axe
Don't look so frightened, this is just a passing phase
One of my bad days
Would you like to watch TV? Or get between the sheets
Or contemplate the silent freeway
Would you like something to eat? Would you like to learn to fly
Would ya? Would you like to see me try
Ah, no!

[Outro: Roger Waters]
Would you like to call the cops
Do you think it's time I stopped
Why are you running away


1.11.  Don't Leave Me Now


[Refrain: Roger Waters]
Ooh, babe, don't leave me now

[Verse 1: Roger Waters]
Don't say it's the end of the road
Remember the flowers I sent
I need you, babe
To put through the shredder in front of my friends

[Refrain: Roger Waters]
Oh, babe, don't leave me now

[Verse 2: Roger Waters]
How could you go
When you know how I need you
(Need you, need you, need you, need you, need you, need you)
To beat to a pulp on a Saturday night

[Refrain: Roger Waters]
Oh, babe, don't leave me now

[Verse 3: Roger Waters]
How can you treat me this way
Running away
Ooh, babe, why are you running away

[Outro: Roger Waters & David Gilmour]
Ooh, babe
Ooh, babe
Ooh, babe
Ooh, ooh
Argh!


1.12.  Another Brick in the Wall (Part 3)


[Intro]
*televisions being smashed*
'Thought you’d like to know-'

[Verse]
I don't need no arms around me
And I don't need no drugs to calm me
I have seen the writing on the wall
Don't think I need anything at all
No, don't think I'll need anything at all

[Chorus]
All in all, it was all just bricks in the wall
All in all, you were all just bricks in the wall


1.13.  Goodbye Cruel World


[Verse: Roger 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


2.1.  Hey You


[Acoustic Guitar Intro]

[Verse 1: David Gilmour]
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

[Verse 2: David Gilmour]
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

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge: Roger Waters]
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

[Breakdown]

[Verse 3: Roger Waters]
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

[Outro: Roger Waters]
(We fall, we fall, we fall, we fall, we fall, we fall, we fall, we fall...)


2.2.  Is There Anybody Out There?


[Intro]
'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 Lorca ride? He'll have to ride. Lorca, time to go! Chengra, thank you for everything. Let's go. Goodbye, Chengra, Goodbye, Missy! I'll be back one day'
Is there anybody out there
Is there anybody out there
Is there anybody out there
Ah, is there anybody out there

[Acoustic Guitar Solo]


2.3.  Nobody Home


[Intro]
'But there's somebody else that needs taking care of in Washington…'
'Who's that '
'Rose Pilchitt!'
'Rose Pilchitt? Who's that '
*child screams*
(Shut up!)
'36-24-36 *Laugh Track* does that answer your question '
(Oi! I've got a little black book with me poems in!)
'Who's she '
'She was 'Miss Armored Division' in 1961… '

[Verse 1: Roger Waters]
I've got a little black book with my poems in
Got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in
When I'm a good dog, they sometimes throw me a bone in
I got elastic bands keeping my shoes on
Got those swollen hand blues
I've got thirteen channels of shit on the T.V. to choose from
I've got electric light
And I've got second sight
I've got amazing powers of observation

[Chorus 1: Roger Waters]
And that is how I know
When I try to get through
On the telephone to you
There will be nobody home

[Verse 2: Roger Waters]
I've got the obligatory Hendrix perm
And the inevitable pinhole burns
All down the front of my favourite satin shirt
I've got nicotine stains on my fingers
I've got a silver spoon on a chain
I've got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains
I've got wild staring eyes
And I've got a strong urge to fly
But I've got nowhere to fly to

[Chorus 2: Roger Waters]
Ooh, babe, when I pick up the phone
('Surprise, surprise, surprise…')
There's still nobody home

[Outro: Roger Waters]
I've got a pair of Gohil's boots
And I've got fading roots


2.4.  Vera


[Intro]
"Where the hell are you
"Where the hell are you, Simon " *Shots*

[Verse: Roger Waters]
Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn
Remember how she said that we would meet again some sunny day
Vera, Vera, what has become of you
Does anybody else in here feel the way I do


2.5.  Bring the Boys Back Home


[Verse: Roger Waters]
Bring the boys back home
Bring the boys back home
Don't leave the children on their own, no, no
Bring the boys back home

[Outro]
'Wrong, do it again!'
*Knock* 'Time to go!'
'Are you feeling okay '
'He keeps hanging up, and it's a man answering!'
'Hahahahaha!!!!!!'
Is there anybody out there


2.6.  Comfortably Numb


[Intro]

[Verse 1: Roger Waters]
Hello? (Hello, hello, hello)
Is there anybody in there
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone home
Come on (Come on, come on), now
I hear you're feeling down
Well, I can ease your pain
And get you on your feet again
Relax (Relax, relax, relax)
I'll need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts

[Pre-Chorus 1: David Gilmour]
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

[Chorus: David Gilmour]
I have become comfortably numb

[Guitar Solo 1]

[Chorus: David Gilmour]
I have become comfortably numb

[Verse 2: Roger Waters]
Okay (Okay, okay, okay)
Just a little pinprick
There'll be no more
But you may feel a little sick
Can you stand up? (Stand up, stand up)
I do believe it's working, good
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on, it's time to go

[Pre-Chorus 2: David Gilmour]
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

[Chorus: David Gilmour]
I have become comfortably numb

[Guitar Solo 2]


2.7.  The Show Must Go On


[Intro: David Gilmour]
(Ah-ah) Ooh, ooh-hoo, ooh, ooh
(Ah-ah)
(Ah-ah)
(Ooh-ma, ah, ooh-pa) Must the show go on
(Ooh-pa, take me home, take me home, take me home)
(Ooh-ma, let me go, let me go, let me go)

[Verse: David Gilmour]
There must be some mistake, I didn't mean to let them
Take away my soul, am I too old, is it too late
(Ooh-ma, ooh-pa) Where has the feeling gone
(Ooh-ma, ooh-pa) Will I remember the song

[Outro: David Gilmour]
(Ooh, ooh, ah) The show must go on


2.8.  In the Flesh


[Intro]
"Three, two... fire!"

[Verse 1]
So ya thought ya might like to go to the show
To feel the warm thrill of confusion, that space cadet glow
I've got some bad news for you sunshine
Pink isn't well, he stayed back at the hotel
And they sent us along as a surrogate band
We're gonna find out where you fans really stand

[Verse 2]
Are there any queers in the theater tonight
Get them up against the wall
(Against the wall)
Now there's one in the spotlight, he don't look right to me
Get him up against the wall
(Against the—)
And that one looks Jewish and that one's a coon!
Who let all of this riff-raff into the room
There's one smoking a joint and another with spots
If I had my way, I'd have all of you shot!

[Instrumental Outro]

[Segue: Crowd Chanting]
Pink Floyd! Pink Floyd!
Pink Floyd! Pink Floyd!
Pink Floyd! Pink Floyd!


2.9.  Run Like Hell


[Segue: Crowd Chanting]
Pink Floyd! Pink Floyd!
Pink Floyd! Pink Floyd!
Pink Floyd! Pink Floyd!


[Chorus: David Gilmour & Roger Waters]
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run

[Verse 1: Roger Waters]
You better make your face up with 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
And the hammers batter down your door
You better run!

[Chorus: David Gilmour & Roger Waters]
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run

[Verse 2: Roger Waters]
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!

[Synth Solo]

[Instrumental Outro]


2.10.  Waiting for the Worms


[Intro: David Gilmour]
"Eins, zwei, drei, alle!"
Ooh-ooh, you cannot reach me now
Ooh-ooh, no matter how you try
Goodbye, cruel world, it's over
Walk on by

[Verse 1: David Gilmour & Roger Waters]
Sitting in a bunker here behind my wall
Waiting for the worms to come (Worms to come)
In perfect isolation here behind my wall
Waiting for the worms to come

[Bridge: Roger Waters]
Testing. One. Two. One. Two. The worms will convene at 1:15 outside Brixton Town Hall where we will be going in force!

[Hook: Roger Waters]
(Waiting) To cut out the deadwood
(Waiting) To clean up the city
(Waiting) To follow the worms
(Waiting) To put on a black shirt
(Waiting) To weed out the weaklings
(Waiting) To smash in their windows and kick in their doors
(Waiting) For the final solution to strengthen the strain
(Waiting) To follow the worms
(Waiting) To turn on the showers and fire the ovens
(Waiting) For the queers and the coons and the reds and the Jews
(Waiting) To follow the worms

[Verse 2: David Gilmour & Roger Waters]
Would you like to see Britannia rule again
(Would you like to see us rule again)
My friend
All you have to do is follow the worms
Would you like to send our coloured cousins home again
(Would you like to send them home again)
My friend
All you need to do is follow the worms

[Outro: Roger Waters]
The Worms will convene outside Brixton Bus Station, where we'll be moving along at about 12 o'clock down Stockwell Road
At that point, we'll be heading towards Lambeth Road, where we will walk calmly with resistance, leaving twelve minutes to three as we move along Lambeth Road towards Vauxhall Bridge
Now when we get to the other side of Vauxhall Bridge, we're in Westminister Borough area. It's quite possible that we may encounter some Jew boys all the way from 4, 5, and 6 on the way as we go
Now is the time to clean up the city, for this is the beginning! We need to secure our people!
Stop!


2.11.  Stop


[Verse: Roger Waters]
I wanna go home
Take off this uniform and leave the show
But I'm waiting in this cell, because I have to know
(Have to know, have to know...)
Have I been guilty all this time
(Have to know, have to know, have to know, have to know...)
(Time, time, time, time...)


2.12.  The Trial


[Intro]

[Verse 1: Prosecutor]
Good morning, Worm your honour
The crown will plainly show
This will not do
Call the schoolmaster!

[Verse 2: The Schoolmaster]
I always said he'd come to no good in the end, your honour
If they'd let me have my way, I could have flayed him into shape
But my hands were tied, the bleeding hearts and artists
Let him get away with murder, let me hammer him today

[Chorus: Pink (and Choir)]
Crazy, toys in the attic, I am crazy
Truly gone fishing
They must have taken my marbles away!
(Crazy, toys in the attic, he is crazy)

[Verse 3: Wife]
You little shit, you're in it now, I hope they throw away the key
You should have talked to me more often than you did, but no!
You had to go your own way
Have you broken any homes up lately
Just five minutes, Worm your honour, him and me, alone

[Verse 4: Mother]
Babe!
Come to mother baby, let me hold you in my arms
M'lud I never wanted him to get in any trouble
Why'd he ever have to leave me
Worm, your honour, let me take him home

[Chorus: Pink (and Choir)]
Crazy, over the rainbow, I am crazy
Bars in the window
There must have been a door there in the wall
When I came in
(Crazy, over the rainbow, he is crazy)

[Verse 5: The Judge]
The evidence before the court is incontrovertible
There's no need for the jury to retire
In all my years of judging, I have never heard before
Of someone more deserving of the full penalty of law
The way you made them suffer, your exquisite wife and mother
Fills me with the urge to defecate
(Go on, Judge, shit on him!)
Since, my friend, you have revealed your deepest fear
I sentence you to be exposed before your peers
Tear down the wall!

[Outro: Crowd]
Tear down the wall!
Tear down the wall!
Tear down the wall!
Tear down the wall!
Tear down the wall!
Tear down the wall!
Tear down the wall!
Tear down the wall!
Tear down the wall!
Tear down the wall!
Tear down the wall!
Tear down the wall!
Tear down the wall!
Tear down the wall!

*explosion*
*bricks crumbling*


2.13.  Outside the Wall


[Verse: Roger Waters]
All alone, or in twos
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down, outside the wall
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands
The bleeding hearts and the artists make their stand
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad bugger's wall

[Outro: Richard Wright]
Isn't this where...
