-
Christmas comes but once a year
-
For every girl and boy
-
The laughter and the joy
-
They find in each new toy
-
I'll tell you of a little boy
-
Who lives across the way
-
This little fella's Christmas
-
Is just another day
-
It was just before dawn
-
One miserable morning
-
In black '44
-
When the forward commander was told to sit tight
-
When he asked that his men be withdrawn
-
And the generals gave thanks
-
As the other ranks
-
Held back the enemy tanks
-
For a while
-
And the Anzio bridgehead
-
Was held for the price
-
Of a few hundred ordinary lives
-
He's the little boy
-
That Santa Claus forgot
-
And Goodness knows
-
He didn't want a lot
-
He sent a note to Santa
-
For some soldiers and a drum
-
It broke his little heart
-
When he found Santa hadn't come
-
In the street he envies
-
All those lucky boys
-
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
-
Mama 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, babe
-
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 you fear flowing out behind you
-
As you claw the thin ice
-
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
-
All in all it was
-
Just a brick in the wall
-
All in all it was all just bricks in the wall
-
Easy. Be careful.
-
- What? - Will you put me on there?
-
- Well, where's your mother, then? - She's gone to the shops.
-
Yes, all right.
-
How's that then? Enjoying it?
-
Lovely, lovely.
-
Now off you go. Go on.
-
Now what have I told you about this? What have I told you?
-
Go on, go on now. Sling your hook. Go on. Sling your hook.
-
And kind old King George
-
Sent Mother a note
-
When he heard that Father was gone
-
It was, I recall
-
In the form of a scroll
-
Gold leaf and all
-
And I found it one day
-
In a drawer of old photographs
-
Hidden away
-
And my eyes still grow damp to remember
-
His Majesty signed
-
With his own rubber stamp
-
It was dark all around
-
There was frost in the ground
-
When the tigers broke free
-
And no one survived
-
From the Royal Fusiliers Company C
-
They were all left behind
-
Most of them dead
-
The rest of them dying
-
And that's how the high command
-
Took my daddy from me
-
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 unfurled beneath the clear blue sky
-
Did you see the frightened ones
-
Did you hear the falling bombs
-
The flames are all long gone but the pain lingers on
-
Good-bye
-
Blue sky
-
Good-bye, blue sky
-
Good-bye
-
Good-bye
-
Wait for me, Pinky, you rotten bleeder.
-
- They're my bullets, ain't they? - I don't know.
-
Come on, Tubs. It's great down in the tunnel.
-
Don't you think it'd be dangerous, Pinky?
-
No. Don't be daft.
-
- You all right, Tubs? - Yeah. Hurt me knee a bit.
-
- Come on. - Na. It's too dangerous.
-
- We'll wait for the train. - Give me the torch.
-
Pinky! Here comes the train!
-
Get off the line, you bloody idiot! Here it comes!
-
Pinky, get off the line! Here it comes!
-
Pinky, get off the line!
-
You!
-
You! Yes, you!
-
Stand still, laddie!
-
When we grew up and went to school
-
There were certain teachers who would hurt the children anyway they could
-
By pouring their derision upon anything we did
-
Exposing every weakness
-
However carefully hidden by the kids
-
What have we here, laddie?
-
Mysterious scribblings? A secret code?
-
No. Poems, no less.
-
Poems, everybody!
-
The lad here reckons himself a poet.
-
"Money, get back. I'm all right, Jack.
-
Keep your hands off my stack.
-
New car, caviar, four-star daydream.
-
Think I'll buy me a football team. "
-
Absolute rubbish, laddie!
-
Get on with your work.
-
Repeat after me:
-
An acre is the area of a rectangle...
-
whose length is one furlong...
-
and whose width is one chain.
-
But in this town it was well known
-
When they got home at night their fat and psychopathic wives
-
Would thrash them within inches of their lives
-
We don't need no education
-
We don't need no thought control
-
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
-
Teacher, leave them kids alone
-
Hey, teacher, leave them kids alone
-
All in all it's just another brick in the wall
-
Wrong! Do it again!
-
All in all you're just another brick in the wall
-
We don't need no education
-
If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding!
-
We don't need no thought control
-
How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?
-
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
-
You! Yes, you, laddie!
-
Poems, everybody. The lad here reckons himself a poet.
-
Teachers, leave them kids alone
-
Hey, teacher, leave those kids alone
-
All in all you're just another brick in the wall
-
All in all you're just another brick in the wall
-
We don't need no education
-
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
-
Again. An acre is the area of a rectangle...
-
whose length is one furlong...
-
and whose width is one chain.
-
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
-
Mother, should I build the wall
-
Mother, should I run for president
-
Mother, should I trust the government
-
Mother, will they put me in the firing line
-
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 baby cozy and warm
-
Ooooh, babe
-
Ooooh, babe
-
Ooh, babe, of course Mama's gonna help build the wall
-
Hello. Hello. Is there anybody in there?
-
Do you remember me?
-
I'm the one from the Registry Office.
-
Mother, do you think she's good enough
-
For me
-
And, Mother do you think she's dangerous
-
To me
-
Mother, will she tear your little boy apart
-
Ooooh, Ma
-
Mother, will she break my heart
-
Hush now, baby, baby don't you cry
-
Mama's gonna check out all your girlfriends for you
-
Mama won't let anyone dirty get through
-
Mama's gonna wait up until you get in
-
Mama will always find out where you've been
-
Mama's gonna keep baby healthy and clean
-
Oooh, babe
-
Oooh, babe
-
Ooh, babe You'll always be baby to me
-
Mother, did it need to be so high
-
- Hello? - Yes, a collect call...
-
for Mrs. Floyd from Mr. Floyd.
-
Will you accept the charge from the United States?
-
I wonder why he hung up. Is there supposed to be someone else there...
-
besides your wife, sir, to answer?
-
- Hello? - This is United States calling.
-
Are we reaching-
-
See, he keeps hanging up, and it's a man answering.
-
What shall we use
-
To fill
-
The empty spaces
-
Where waves
-
Of hunger
-
Roar
-
Shall we set out across
-
This sea
-
Of faces
-
In search of more
-
And more applause
-
Shall we buy a new guitar
-
Shall we drive a more powerful car
-
Shall we work straight through the night
-
Shall we get into fights
-
Leave the lights on Drop bombs
-
Do tours of the East Contract diseases
-
Bury bones Break up homes
-
Send flowers by phone
-
Take to drink Go to shrinks
-
Give up meat Rarely sleep
-
Keep people as pets
-
Train dogs Race rats
-
Fill the attic with cash
-
Bury treasure Store up leisure
-
But never relax at all
-
With our backs to 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
-
Ooooh
-
I need a dirty woman
-
Ooooh
-
I need a dirty girl
-
Will some woman in this desert land
-
Make me feel like a real man
-
Take this rock and roll refugee
-
Ooh, babe, set me free
-
Ooooh
-
I need a dirty woman
-
Ooooh
-
I need a dirty girl
-
Ooooh
-
I need a dirty woman
-
Ooooh
-
I need a dirty girl
-
Oh, my God.
-
What a fabulous room.
-
- Are all these your guitars?
-
- God.
-
This place is bigger than our whole apartment.
-
- You like the tube, huh?
-
Can I get a drink of water?
-
- Can I get you a drink of water?
-
- Oh, wow, look at this tub!
-
Wanna take a bath?
-
- What are you watching?
-
- Hello? Hello?
-
- You feeling okay?
-
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 anymore
-
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 favorite 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
-
Would you like to call the cops
-
- Do you think it's time I stopped - Next time, fuckers!
-
Why are you running away
-
Oooh, 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
-
Oh, babe
-
Don't leave me now
-
How can you treat me this way
-
Running away
-
Ooh, babe
-
Why are you running away
-
Oooh, babe
-
Oooh, babe
-
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 need anything at all
-
All and all it was all just bricks in the wall
-
All and all you were all just bricks in the wall
-
Good-bye, cruel world
-
I'm leaving you today
-
Good-bye, good-bye
-
Good-bye
-
Good-bye, all you people
-
There's nothing you can say
-
To make me change my mind
-
Good-bye
-
Is there anybody out there
-
Is there anybody out there
-
Is there anybody out there
-
Is there anybody out there
-
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 13 channels of shit on the TV 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 got the obligatory Hendrix perm
-
And the inevitable pinhole burns
-
All down the front of my favorite 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 got wild staring eyes
-
And I got a strong urge to fly
-
But I got nowhere to fly to
-
Oooh, babe
-
When I pick up the phone
-
There's still nobody home
-
I've got a pair of Gohills boots
-
And I got fading roots
-
Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn
-
Remember how she said
-
That we would meet again
-
Some sunny day
-
Vera
-
What has 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, no, no
-
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
-
- Bad! Do it again!
-
- You feeling okay?
-
Is there anybody out there
-
- Fuck me.
-
He's gone completely around the bleedin' twist.
-
You vicious bastard, you never did like me, did you?
-
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
-
Well, I can ease your pain
-
- And get you on your feet again - The boy's an asthmatic.
-
- Asthmatic!? - Relax
-
- I'll need some information first - He's an artist!
-
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
-
I
-
Have become comfortably numb
-
Okay
-
Just a little pinprick
-
There'll be no more Aaaaah
-
But you may feel a little sick
-
Can you stand up
-
I do believe it's working
-
- Good - He's coming around.
-
- That'll keep you going through the show - There, you see?
-
- Come on, it's time to go - How do you feel?
-
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
-
So ya thought ya
-
Might like to go to the show
-
To feel the warm thrill of confusion
-
That space cadet glow
-
I got some bad news for you, sunshine
-
Pink isn't well He's, uh, back at the hotel
-
And they sent us along as a surrogate band
-
Now tonight, we 're gonna find out where you fans really stand
-
Are there any queers in the audience tonight
-
- Get 'em up against the wall - Against the wall
-
There's one in the spotlight he don't look right
-
- Have him up against the wall - Against the wall
-
And that one looks Jewish And that one's a coon
-
Who let all this riffraff into the room
-
There's one smoking a joint
-
And that one's got spots
-
If I had my way I'd have all of you shot
-
Run, run, run, run
-
You better make your face up in your favorite 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 cockleshell shatters
-
And the hammers batter down your door
-
You better run run, run, run
-
Run, run, run, run
-
You better run all day and run all night
-
Keep your dirty feelings deep inside
-
And if you're taking your girlfriend out tonight
-
You'd 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
-
You cannot reach me now
-
No matter how you try
-
Good-bye, cruel world
-
It's over
-
Walk on by
-
Waiting
-
- To cut out the dead wood - 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
-
- Would you like to see - Would you like to see
-
Britannia rule again
-
My friend
-
All you need to do is follow the worms
-
Hammer! Hammer!
-
Hammer! Hammer! Hammer!
-
Stop!
-
Stop.
-
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 I been
-
Have I been guilty all this time
-
Good morning, Worm, Your Honor
-
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 Honor
-
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
-
Truly gone fishing
-
They must have taken my marbles away
-
Crazy
-
Toys in the attic He is crazy
-
You little shit You're in it now
-
I hope they throw away the key
-
You should've 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 Honor
-
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 Honor let me take him home
-
Crazy
-
Over the rainbow I'm 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 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
-
The full penalty of law
-
The way you made them suffer
-
Your exquisite wife and mother
-
Fills me with the urge to defecate
-
Since, my friend you have revealed your deepest fear
-
I sentence you to be exposed
-
Before your peers
-
Tear down the wall
-
All alone
-
Or in two's
-
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 bugger's wall
-
When they've given you their all
-
Some stagger and fall
-
After all, it's not easy
