One Of These Days

One of these days I'm gonna cut you into little pieces.


Money

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


Sheep

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.

Bleating and babbling we fell on his neck with a scream
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.


Shine On You Crazy Diamond I-V

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 on the crossfire 
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 in 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!


Wish You Were Here

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 you found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.


Another Brick In The Wall Part 2

We don't need no education
We dont need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone!
All in all it's just another brick in the wall.
All in all you're just another brick in the wall.

We don't need no education
We dont need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone!
All in all it's just another brick in the wall.
All in all you're just another brick in the wall.

Wrong, Do it again!
If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding.
How can you have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat?
You! Yes, you behind the bikesheds, stand still laddy!
