Wish You Were Here (Words and music by Pink Floyd)So, so you think you can tell heaven from hellBlue skies from painCan you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?A smile from a veilDo 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 warFor a lead role in a cage?How I wish, how I wish you were hereWe're just two lost soulsSwimming in a fish bowl, year after yearRunning over the same old groundWhat have we found? The same old fearsWish you were here.

Mouthful of AirDeeper and deeper I goYour hearts drowning I knowAll my intentions are clearI need to rescue my dearSo I dive don't despairComing down with a mouthful of airTo shareTo swim with the shellfish I wishAnd suck with the sea queen I wish

Mussels and coral are hereI need to rescue my dearSo I dive don't despairIn the gloom just assume that I careComing down with a mouthful of airTo shareI'll feed you much better

CarIf I touch you will you break?If I touch you will you take my fears away?And I can hardly wait for youAnd I can hear the moving mindI've been sitting here for years to findI'll steal myself a carA Ferrari or a JaguarAnd drive it at a crazy speedStraight over the cliff and into the seaI can hardly wait for youI can hear, the moving mindI've been sitting here for years to findI've been sitting here for years to findSuch bad thoughtsI'll steal myself a carFerrari or a JaguarAnd drive it at a crazy speedStraight over the cliff and into the seaAnd maybe I'll be happy, maybe I'll be happyAnd if that was guaranteedI'd do it today, right now, just this once todayI can hardly wait for youI've been sitting here for years for you

Girl Stand StillAll I know it's not my turn to fearThis much I know I watch the girl stand stillThis much I know a warning whispered in your earAll I know it's not my turn to fearThere's a village far belowI'm passing by so come on, come out to playAsk your mother, ask your motherAnd tell her why the time I calledAnd the reason is I love youIt justifies it allThere's a secret I've been keepingPushed aside and left behindBack again like bad religionOh we love to lose our mindsOh we love to lose our mindsOh we love to lose our minds

SaccharineYou're not real you're reelingYou're not seen you're stealingYou're not strong you're feeling

You're not sweet you're saccharineYou're not sweet you're saccharine

Backwards GuitarI'm riding in your car, a hundred miles an hour - oohGrin from ear to ear, I'm feeling happy here - oohI don't wanna park tonight, pass by those traffic lightsIt's such a simple plan, a trip in your sedan - oohCruising to explore and really nothing more - oohHill climb for morning views, sun-up in your saloonOh lets go further down the roadDon't ask me what it is or where to goBecause I don't know - I don't knowI just wonder if you feel desire?I'm riding in your car, a good friend you are - oohSo take me where I please see Los AngelesA bad idea to try you look so horrifiedAnd I didn't think that you could tellI'm a psycho speeding road machine from hellYou know me so wellIt's just a simple trip by carA sleeping passenger you areBut boy what a picture of reliefThat your skin is just as smooth and just as sweetAnd it's warm beyond beliefAnd I wonder if you feel desire?

Tongue TwistedTongue tied twisted, steal time to stayReal song drifted keeps the thorn insideTongue tied twisted twist around and creepTongue tied twisted keeps the leafWhat are you gonna feel? What are you gonna feel?Will it fall will it drop, I despise the timeThought I love to feel the tongue twistedSo pleased to findBeneath the grass this time, beneath the grassI know this fear will lastI know this fear will lastI know this fear will lastI know this fear will reach beneath the gutterThe restless I know I know I knowBut I love to feel the tongue twisted

These Four WallsTell yourself how I loveI could go, here's the doorDust on bell won't ringDestination callsDrive to me and bringDisappointment fallsAnd I will breathe to live bite the lipTo the one for who I feelHere's some time we could killTush to time don't go, we could use it all

Pawn the diamond ringNo space for you to clingIn these four walls I give it allChicken come over here deep insideIf I could have a wish this distance would be missedSpinning like a wheel oohAnd the only thing to fear if the distance disappearsThere'd be nothing left to say, heyAnd I will breathe to live bite the lipThe dust of life is mixed drifting like a mistAll the night is clear desperations nearI left my heart to roam I should go homeBut we could call for more oohIt's the distance I can't bearThere's no more hurt to fearThere's no more time to say, heyIn these four walls I give it allChicken come over here deep inside

High HeelsNo more noise this yearI'll wear my highest heelsWhat am I to do?I'm a bad decision makerIs it still confusedI know the truthBeneath this tree, it bloomsI'm a hopeless case, it multipliesI can cut your teeth this timeI know, this time, don't criticizeAll I have to do, is get inside of youI'll wear my highest heelsAnd I know how it feelsIs it still confusedI know the truthBeneath this tree, it bloomsI'm a hopeless case, it multipliesCan I cut your teeth this time?I know, this time, don't criticizeDon't criticize, don't criticize

Angelo NeroThis (female? fever? feeling?) always locked away inside'Cos I don't think I've ever felt so hypnotizedIf I'm scared I'm just fineAnd did you careWith your nose stuck in the airThat the messages were clearAngelo Nero you're hereAnd it's a big decision down by the corn fieldYeah he's just poison - oh the mother's milkAnd only for the reason that was how he feltAnd he did he careThat his arrogance was clearAnd the messages were clearAngelo Nero you're hereAngelo Nero you're hereHad some injustice doneHad some injustice done and it's a deep incisionIn the reach of the circumsizeA single penetration enough to satisfyA little consolation for the ripped insidesAnd the liquid moved as she opened up the scarA deep, richer red, just like a racing carSuch a sight to seeA real emergencyAngelo Nero you're hereAngelo Nero you're hereAngelo Nero you're hereAngelo Nero you're here

The Spirit of Radio (Words and Music by Rush)One likes to believe in the freedom of musicBegin the day with a friendly voiceA companion, unobtrusivePlays that song that's so elusiveAnd the magic music makes your morning mood

Off on your wayHit the open roadThere is magic at your fingersAnd the music that ever lingersUndemanding contactIn your happy solitude

Invisible airwaves crackle with lifeBright antennae bristle with the energyEmotional feedback on a timeless wavelengthBearing a gift beyond life that’s almost free

All this machinery is making modern musicCan still be open-heartedNot so coldly chartedIt's really just a question of your honesty

Yeah your honesty

One likes to believe in the freedom of musicBut glittering prizes and endless compromisesShatter the illusion of integrity

Invisible airwaves crackle with lifeBright antennae bristle with the energyEmotional feedback on a timeless wavelengthBearing a gift beyond life that’s almost freeAnd the words of the profits are written on the studio walls, concert hallEchoes with the sounds of salesmen

ThunderbirdThere's far too many ghostsIt makes us rely on three notesThat could make you weepSad notes that blister in your heart I hopeAnd don't I know don't I realizeWhat's changing in our brainsAnd how it soothes'Cos it's better than the truthThe truth is frayed at the edge and bruisedAnd no use any more

We could be crawling this timeWe should be smiling this timeI see no spooks in youThunderbird can you see yourself big bird?Thunderbird just speak it more discreetlyYou're making it sound absurdNow our dreamThey flower in our hearts it seemsAnd don't I know don't I realizeWhat's changing in our brainsAnd how it soothes'Cos it's better than the truthThe truth is frayed at the edge and bruisedWe could be crawling this timeWe should be smiling this timeI see no spooks in youThunderbird can you see yourself big birdThunderbird just speak it more discreetlyYou're making it sound absurdYou're making it sound absurdYou're making it sound absurd

GoodbyeSomeone said it's easyBut as I sit here with my cupStaring at it as if I'm someCrazy poet when I'm notI'm just a rock n' roll JoeWith tales of woeAnd tears and fearsIt's only love that stops you fromWalking out the doorTears fly somewhere close to remorseSometimesIt's easy to all my friends I loveI still don't find it easyTo all my friends I loveGoodbyeGoodbyeGoodbye I've arrivedSally likes it sidewaysSally oh Sally don't ever changeAnd please don't think me scary'Cos I'm not I'm just a rock n' roll JoeWith tales of woeAnd tears and fearsIt's only love that stops you fromWalking out the doorTears fly somewhere close to remorseSometimesIt's easy to all my friends I loveNow I find it easyTo all my friends I loveGoodbyeGoodbyeGoodbye I've finally arrivedAt somewhere close to hereGoodbye goodbye ooh oohGoodbyeGoodbyeGoodbyeI've finally arrived

For DreamingHere come the good timesI have some good times you knowBring on the good timesI have some good times you knowAll we knew was happiness

All we knew and all we witnessedIt's only there for dreamingIt's only there for dreamingI won't sentimentaliseThe bonus loss of appetiteAnd skinniness that followedThe new taste of open lipsThe last hope in trembling hipsAnd we swallowedFor dreaming for dreamingI still can touch the ceiling with the feelingThat we swallowedFor dreaming for dreamingI still can touch the screaming heightsI'm pleading can I follow you homeBring on the good timesBring on the good times once moreBring on the good timesOn the other side of your green doorIt's only there for dreamingI knew you'd find your way homeBut you know I loved youFor dreaming for dreamingI still can touch the ceiling with the feelingThat we swallowedFor dreaming for dreamingI still can touch the screaming heightsI'm pleading can I follow you home

OutroThere's a song about a boy who phones this girlShe left town years beforeAnd he's pissed off that he didn't know'Cos he wanted to say goodbyeTell her how he missed herWish her good luckPut it to restAll that unfinished businessI'm gonna phone everyone that I've knownThrough the downs and the upsAnd who I suspect have written me offAs an insensitive fuckAnd say good luck... and goodbyeThey'd feel goodI'd feel goodWe'd all feel goodThat would be so good

LifelineFollow the lifeline I labeled so neatThrough every lifetime from scars that run deepFollow the love tracks unrivalled unmatchedBook me the right train I'd love to nip backSet up high above the PyreneesSet up high on the road of release

My brain, my arms, my chain, my charmsMy aims, my itch, my foes, I've lickedMy bed of flame my nameSpread myself round againSpilled out my guts againThink I might lay down againStitch me up I'm torn again

Follow the pipeline I laid it so deepIt flows out my window it flows out to seaIt curls round the mountain it takes up the slackBook me the right plane I long to nip backSet up high above the PyreneesSet up high on the road of relief

My lies, my lust, my truth, my trustMy league, my school, my game, my rulesMy bed I've made, my graveSpread myself round againSpilled out my guts againThink I might lay down againStitch me up I'm torn again

My eyes, my hips, my face, my lipsAre failing meCombined with mixed up living

My victory is escaping meLa La LaThe lifeline slips away

What We Want to Believe InShe was my sunlightShe made my skin glowShe had these bow legsI didn't want her to goBlue skies were turning redLearned my grade the hard wayShe loved me or so she saidSo I say

We all believeWhat we want to believe inWe like to dreamWhat we want to believe inThis is the real thing

I stretched her dress tightI cut her hair lowI made her speak rightI didn't want her to goGray skies beneath my feetI slipped on truth the hard wayShe preferred herself to meSo I say

We all believeWhat we want to believe inWe like to dreamAnd we want to believe itSo we all believeWhat we want to believe inThis is the real thing so danceEvery woman and manIn cloud cuckoo land

All of ThatI am a brute, but I abstainI am foolish I am vainYeah I'm a fanI am the brother of a famous manI am gorgeous I am rightI have left this planet but I'll be backI am delicious I am crapI am all of thatI am all of that

I am smooth but I am crustedI am speechless I can be trustedI'm baby blue I am the nursery attached to youI've been happy I've been sadI graced this planet experienced thatI've been set up I've been set back

I've been all of thatI've been all of that

I'm enormous I am slightI have left this planet but I'll be backI am religious I am fatI am all of thatI am all of thatI am all of thatAnd soon the time will comeWhen everybody's somebodyAnd nobody is anybody

Idle LifeGive me soap to shave aroundGive me soap to shave aroundWith my guts exposed and slippy

Don't let them rush meDon't hesitateDon't let them take me awayThere's nothing wrongThere's a malady in everyoneThat keeps me away from the light

Shine, I give my first storyAs I live the idle lifeThe leaping colour keeps your heart aliveA creeping glow beside you lava likeShine you make your own gloryCome on take the idle lifeA foreign guy I'm God's own prototypeA blushing bride who loves an idle life

Always above meI light the dayHere rise the sun I embraceThere's nothing wrongThere's an apogee in everyoneThat keeps you awake and alive

Shine, I gave my own storyNow I live the idle lifeI know my foes may get me overnightI'm safe and dry I'm God's own prototypeShine, you crown your own gloryCome on take the idle lifeCreeping colour fills your heart tonightWe see no others in our idle life

Ballad of a Running ManFor years I avoided caffeineFor years I was cleanI was calm and complete

Then the world fell down round my earsHad a change in my stateBug eyed and awake

I was grinding my teeth in my habitatI couldn't stand still I was running backBut it was gone

Smack smack smacking my handsFlap flapping my handsLick licking my woundsWill it help meRip rip ripping my skinClip clipping my wingsPick picking my bonesWill it help meHip hip hip to the beatI can't find my own feetCan't see where I standBallad of a running manJam jam marathon man

For years I was wrapped up in blueOn sunny afternoonsSunbathed but unmovedOn the ground I found me a stoogeHe was clear out of schoolWith a theory to prove

He said he understood so I told himIt was just like I'd read in a magazineSaid I thought it was weird to be stumblingAnd that It felt like a raceI was running inThat's already run

Smack smack smacking my handsFlap flapping my handsLick licking my woundsWill it help meRip rip ripping my skinClip clipping my wingsPick picking my bonesWill it help meHip hip hip to the beatI can't find my own feetCan't see where I standBallad of a running manJam jam marathon man

Crème CaramelCrème Caramel, shy and shiveringRing my bell so wellThere's something moving slowly over usDoesn't matter what you think or where you goThe reason why I'm losing my crust

A giddy contributionYou are merely dealing just enoughTo keep the man aliveAnd sanitizedAnd keep a lid on his lust

And your wedding night thighsKept me aliveAll through the good timesWhen the passion was ripe

Crème caramel, shy and shiveringRing my bell so wellSmooth and sweet and really unctuousAnd our love is mushedAnd boy I'm feeling really bruisedI keep thinking my heart isn't trueBut it keeps the man aliveI'll take an axe to that lieWhen I'm moody and nude

And your wedding night thighsKept me aliveAll through the good timesAnd your river blue eyesKept me aliveAll through the good timesAll through the good timesWhen the passion was ripe

That's When I Reach For My Revolver (Covering Mission of Burma. Written by C. Conley)Once I had my heroesOnce I had my dreamsBut all of that is changed nowGets twisted inside outThe truth is not that comfortableNo, noAnd mother taught us patienceThe virtues of restraintAnd father taught us boundariesIn honor we must goThe vanity will colour us, yeah

That's when I reach for my revolverThat's when it all gets blown awayThat's when I reach for my revolverThat feeling passes by this way

A friend of mine once told meHis one and only aimTo build a giant castleAnd in it sign his nameThe silence whispers me and you in chains

That's when I reach for my revolverThat's when it all gets blown away

That's when I reach for my revolverThat feeling passes by this wayYeah

And now the sky is emptyBut that is nothing newThe dead eyes look upon usAnd they tell me we're nothing but things

That's when I reach for my revolverThat's when I reach for my revolverThat's when I reach for my revolverThat's when I reach for my revolverThat's when I reach for my revolverThat's when I reach for my revolver

Don't Want to Know If You Are Lonely (Covering Husker Du. Written by Grant Hart.)I’m curious to know exactly how you areI keep my distance but my distance is too farIt reassures me just to know that you're okayBut I don't want you to go on leading me this way

And I don't want to know if you are lonelyDon't want to know if you are less than lonelyDon't want to know if you are lonelyDon't want to know, don't want to know

The day you left me left me feeling oh so badStill I’m not sure about all the doubts we hadFrom the beginning we both knew it wouldn't lastDecisions have been made, the die has been cast

And I don't want to know if you are lonelyDon't want to know if you are less than lonelyDon't want to know if you are lonelyDon't want to knowDon't want to knowDon't want to knowDon't want to knowDon't want to knowDon't want to knowDon't want to knowDon't want to know

The phone is ringing and the clock says 4 AMIf it's your friends then I don't want to hear from themPlease leave a number and a message at the toneOr you can just go on and leave me alone

And I don't want to know if you are lonelyDon't want to know if you are less than lonelyDon't want to know if you are lonelyDon't want to know, don't want to knowDon't want to know if you are lonelyDon't want to know if you are less than lonelyDon't want to know if you are lonely

Don't want to know
