DARK SIDE OF THE MOON (1973)

SPEAK TO ME

(Spoken): I've been mad for fucking years..absolutely years! I've been over the edge for yonks!...been working with bands so long, I mean, crikey! I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the most of us are Very hard to explain that you are mad, even if you're not mad

BREATHE

Breathe, breathe in the air Don't be afraid to care Leave but don't leave me Look around and 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.

ON THE RUN

(spoken): Live for today...gone tomorrow...that's me! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

TIME

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand 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 the 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 naught 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.

BREATHE REPRISE

Home, home again I like to be here when I can And when I come home cold and tired It's good to warm my bones beside the fire Far awy across the field the tolling of the iron bell Calls the faithful to their knees to hear the softly spoken magic spells

TH GREAT GIG IN THE SKY

(Instrumental with Vocal Improvisation) (spoken): I am not frightened of dying..anytime will do..I don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying?..There's no reason for it. We gotta go sometime. I never said I was frightened of dying.

MONEY

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 alright 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 high-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 they're giving none away. (spoken): (Yeah, absolutely... I certainly was in the right! I don't know I was really drunk at the time! ...screaming and totally wild... ...Crusin' for a brusin')

US AND THEM

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 And 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 (spoken): (I mean they're gonna kill ya...so if ya give 'em a quick, short, sharp shock They won't do it again..dig it? I mean he got off light cuz I could've given Him a fracture and i only hit him once...I mean good manners don't cost Nothing do they?..) 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 fighting's 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)

BRAIN DAMAGE

The lunatic is on the grass The lunatic is on the grass 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 paperboy 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 forbodings 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 cloud bursts thunder in your ear You shout but 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 (spoken): (I can't think of anything to say! (laughter))

ECLIPSE

All that you touch All that you see All that you taste All you feel All that you love All that you hate All you distrust All you save All that you give All that you deal All that you buy Beg, borrow or steal All you create All you destroy All that you do All that you say All that you eat And everyone you meet All that you slight And everyone you fight All that is now All that is gone All that's to come And everything under the sun is in tune But the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

(spoken): There is no dark side of the moon really...matter of fact it's all dark.
