1. Speak to Me

Breathe, breathe in the air
Don't be afraid to care
Leave but don't leave me
Look around, choose your own ground
For long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be
Run Rabbit run
Dig that hole, forget the sun,
And when at last the work is done
Don't sit down it's time to dig another one
For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race towards an early grave
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull
day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand
way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your
home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you
the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home
to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is
time to kill today
And then one day you find, ten years have
got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the
starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the
sun,
but it's sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but
you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to
find the time
Plans that either come to nought,
or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English
way
The time is gone the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say
Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
When I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the fields
The tolling of an iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells
The Great Gig In The Sky (Instrumental)
"And I am not frightened of dying, any time
will do, I
don't mind. Why should I be frightened
of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta
go sometime."
"I never said I was frightened of dying."
Money, get away
Get a good job with more pay and you're O.K.
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 travelling
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
Us and them
And after all we're only ordinary men
Me and you
God only knows it's not what we would choose
to do
Forward he cried from the rear
and the front rank died
The General sat, and the lines on the map
moved from side to side
Black and blue
And who knows which is which and who is who
Up and down
And in the end it's only round and round
And round
Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
the poster bearer cried
Listen son, said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside
Down and out
It can't be helped but there's a lot of it
about
With , without
And who'll deny it's what the fightings all
about
Out of the way, it's a busy day
I've got things on my mind
For want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died
Any Colour
You Like (Instrumental)
The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path
The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the
floor
And every day the paper boy brings more
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forebodings
too
I'll see you on the Dark Side Of The Moon
The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'til I'm sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head but it's not me.
And if the clouds bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band you're in starts playing different
tunes
I'll see you on the Dark Side Of The Moon
.
All that you touch
And all that you see
All that you taste
All you feel
And all that you love
And all that you hate
All you Distrust
All you save
And all that you give
And all that you deal
And all that you buy beg, borrow or steal
And all you create
And all you destroy
And all that you do
And all that you say
And all that you eat
And everyone you meet
And all that you slight
And everyone you fight
And all that is now
And all that is gone
And all that's to come
And everything under the sun is in tune
but the sun is eclipsed by the moon.
