- 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 want to find out what's behind these cold eyes ?
- You'll just have to claw your way through the
- Disguise
- Mamma loves her baby
- And daddy loves you too
- And the sea may look warm to you, baby
- And the sky may look blue
- But oooh babe
- Oooh baby blue
- 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
- When we grew up and went to school
- There were certain teachers who would
- Hurt the children anyway they could
- By pouring their derisions
- Upon anything we did
- And exposing every weakness
- However carefully hidden by the kids
- But in the town it was well known
- When they got home at night, their fat and
- Psychopatic wives would thrash them
- Within inches of their lives
- Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb
- Mother do you think they'll like the song
- Mother do you think they'll try to break my balls
- Oooh ma, mother should I build a wall
- Mother should I run for president
- Mother should I trust the government
- Mother will they put me in the firing line
- Oooh ma, is it just a wasted time
- Mother am I really dying
- Hush now baby, baby don't you cry
- Mama's gonna make all of your nightmares come true
- Mama's gonna put all of her fears into you
- Mama's gonna keep you right here under her wing
- She won't let you fly but she might let you sing
- Mama's gonna keep baby cosy and warm
- Oooh babe Oooh babe Oooh babe
- Of course mama's gonna help build the wall
- Mother do you think she's good enough for me
- Mother do you think she's dangerous tell me
- Mother will she make your little boy a toy
- Ooh ma, mother will she break my heart
- Hush now baby, baby don't you cry
- Mama's gonna check out all of your girlfriends for you
- Mama won't let anyone dirty get through
- Mama's gonna wait up 'till you get in
- Mama will always find out where you've been
- Mama's gonna keep baby healthy and clean
- Oooh babe Oooh babe Oooh babe
- You'll always be a baby to me
- Mother, did it need to be so high ?
- Ooooooooooooooooooh
- 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
- Unfouled beneath a clear blue sky
- Ooooooooooooooooooh
- Did you see the frightened ones
- Did you hear the falling bombs
- The flames are all long gone
- But the pain lingers on
- Goodbye blue sky
- Goodbye blue sky
- Goodbye
- What shall we use to fill the empty
- Spaces where we used to talk
- How should I fill the final places ?
- How should I complete the wall ?
- I am just a new boy
- A stranger in this town
- Where are all the good times
- Who's gonna show this stranger around ?
- Ooh I need a dirty woman
- Ooh I need a dirty girl
- Will some woman in this desert town
- Make me feel like a real man
- Take this rock'n'roll refugee
- Ooh Babe set me free
- Ooh I need a dirty woman
- Ooh I need a dirty girl
- Day after day, 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
- Tight as a tourniquet
- Dry as a funeral drum
- 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
- Just one of my bad days
- Would you like to watch T.V. ?
- Or get between the sheets
- Or contemplate the silent freeway ?
- Would you like something to eat ?
- Would you like to learn to fly ? Would you ?
- Would you like to see me try ?
- Oh I don't know
- Would you like to call the cops ?
- Do you think it's time I stopped ?
- Why are you running away ?
- Oooh Babe
- Don't leave me now
- 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
- Ooh Babe
- Don't leave me now
- How could you go ?
- When you know how I need you
- To beat to a pulp on a Saturday night
- Ooh Babe
- Don't leave me now
- How can you treat me this way
- Running away
- Ooh Babe
- Why are you running away ?
- Oooh Babe !
- I don't need no arms around me
- 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
- All in all it was all just bricks in the wall
- All in all you were just bricks in the wall
- 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
- 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.
- 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
- But it was only a 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.
- Hey you ! out there on the road
- 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.
- Is There Anybody Out There?
- I've got a little black book with my poems in
- Got a bag with 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 13 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
- And that is how I know
- When I try to get through
- On the telephone to you
- There'll be nobody home
- 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
- 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
- Ooh Babe when I pick up the phone
- There's still nobody home
- I've got a pair of Gohills boots
- And I've got fading roots...
- Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn
- Remember how she said that
- We would meet again
- Some sunny day
- Vera ! Vera !
- What have become of you
- Does anybody else in here
- Feel the way I do ?
- Bring the boys back home
- Bring the boys back home
- Don't leave the children on their own
- Bring the boys back home
- 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
- And 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
- O.K.,
- Just a little pin prick
- There'll be no more aaaaaaah !
- 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
- I have become comfortably numb
- Ooh Ma ooh Pa
- Must the show go on
- Ooh Pa take me home
- Ooh Ma let me go
- 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 songs ?
- The show must go on.
- 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'd like to find out what's behind these cold eyes?
- You'll just have to claw your way through the
- Disguise
- You better make your face up in
- 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
- With your nerves in tatters
- As the cockle shell shatters
- And the hammers butter
- Down your door
- You better run
- You better run all day
- And run all night
- And keep your dirty feelings
- Deep inside. And if you
- Take your girlfriend
- Out tonight,
- You better park the car
- Well out of sight
- 'cos if they catch you in the back seat
- Trying to pick her locks
- They're gonna send you back to mother
- In a card board box
- You better run.
- Ooh You cannot reach me now
- Ooh No matter how you try
- Goodbye cruel world it's over
- Walk on by
- Sitting in a bunker here behind my wall
- Waiting for the worms to come
- In perfect isolation here behind my wall
- Waiting for the worms to come
- Waiting to cut out the deadwood
- to clean up the city
- to follow the worms
- to put on a blackshirt
- to weed out the weaklings
- to smash in their windows
- and kick in their doors.
- for the final solution
- to strengthen the strain
- to follow the worms
- to turn on the showers
- and fire the ovens
- for the queens and the coons
- and the reds and the Jews
- to follow the worms
- Would you like to see Britania
- Rule again, my friend ?
- All you have to do is follow the worms
- Would you like to send our coloured cousins
- Home again, my friend ?
- All you need to do is follow the worms.
- Stop
- I wanna go home
- Take off this uniform
- And leave the show
- And I'm waiting in this cell
- Because I have to know
- Have I been guilty all this time.
- Good morning Worm Your Honour
- The crown will plainly show
- The prisoner who now stands before you
- Was caught red handed showing feelings
- Showing feelings of an almost human nature
- This will not do
- Call 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
- Crazy, toys in the attic I am crazy
- Should I go fishing
- They must have taken my marbles away
- 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 away. Have you broken any
- Homes up lately ?
- "Just five minutes, Worm Your Honour
- Him and me alone"
- 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
- 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
- The evidence before the court is
- Incontravertable, there's no need for
- The jury to retire
- In all my years of judging
- I have never heard before
- Of someone more deserving
- The full penalty of law
- The way you made them suffer
- Your exquisite wife and mother
- Fills me with the urge to defecate
- But my friend you have revealed your
- Deepest fear
- I sentance you to be exposed before
- Your peers
- Tear down The Wall !
- All alone, or in twos
- The ones who really love you
- Walk up and down outside the wall
- Some hand in hand
- 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 buggers'
- Wall
