One Of These Days
One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces

Arnold Layne
Arnold Layne had a strange hobby Collecting clothes, moonshine washing lines They suit him fine On the wall hang a tall mirror Distorted view, see through, baby blue He got it Oh Arnold Layne, it's not the same It takes two to know, two to know, Two to know, two to know Why can't you see Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne Arnold Layne Now he's caught a nasty sort of person They gave him time, doors bang chaingang He hated Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne don't do it again

Fearless
You say the hill's too steep to climb, try it You say you'd like to see me try climb it You pick the place and I'll choose the time And I'll climb the hill in my own way Just wait a while for the right day And as I rise above the tree-line and the clouds I look down, hearing the sounds of the things you've said today Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd, smiling Mercyless the magistrate turns round, frowning And who's the fool who wears the crown Go down in your own way And every day is the right day And as you rise above the fear-lines in his crown You look down, hearing the sound of the faces in the crowd You never walk alone, you never walk alone Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart And you never walk alone, you never walk alone

Brain Damage
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 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 'till 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 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.

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 Everyone you meet All that you slight 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.

Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun
Little by little the night turns around Counting the leaves which tremble in the dawn Notices leaning on each other and yearning Under the leaves the swallow is resting Set the controls for the heart of the sun On to the mountain watching the Watcher Breaking the darkness, breaking the grapevine The moment your flaw is run to your shadow Notice the shadow that reopens the vine Set the controls for the heart of the sun Heart of the sun Breaking the shape of his questions for ever When the sun will fall in the evening Will he remember the lesson I gave him Set the controls for the heart of the sun Heart of the sun

See Emily Play
Emily tries but misunderstands She's often inclined to borrow Somebody's dream till tomorrow There is no other day Let's try it another way You'll loose your mind and play Free games today See Emily play Soon after dark Emily cries Gazing through trees in sorrow Hardly a sound till tomorrow Put on a gown that touches the ground Float on a river For ever and ever Emily, Emily

Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving With a Pict
Aye an' a bit of Mackeral settler rack and ruin ran it doon by the haim, 'ma place well I slapped me and I slapped it doon in the side and I cried, cried, cried. The fear a fallen down taken never back the raize and then Craig Marion, get out wi' ye Claymore out mi pocket a' ran doon, doon the middin stain picking the fiery horde that was fallen around ma feet. Never he cried, never shall it ye get me alive ye rotten hound of the burnie crew. Well I snatched fer the blade O my Claymore cut and thrust and I fell doon before him round his feet. Aye! A roar he cried frae the bottom of his heart that I would nay fall but as dead, dead as 'a can be by his feet; de ya ken? ...and the wind cried Mary. [In English] Thank you.

Free Four
One two three four The memories of a man in his old age Are the deeds of a man in his prime You shuffle in the gloom of the sick room And talk to yourself as you die Life is a short warm moment And death is a long cold rest You get your chance to try the twinkling of an eye Eighty years with luck or even less So all aboard for the American tour And maybe you'll make it to the top But mind how you go, and I can tell you 'cause I know You may find it hard to get off But you are the angel of death And I am the dead man's son He was buried like a mole in a fox-hole And everyone's still on the run And who is the master of foxhounds And who says the hunt is begun And who calls the tune in the court-room And who beats the funeral drum

Embryo
All is love, is all I am A ball is all I am I'm so new compared to you And I am very small Warm glow, moon bloom Always need a little more room Waiting here seems like years Never seen the light of day All around I hear strange sounds Come gurgling in my ear Red the light and dark the night I feel my dawn is near Warm glow, moon bloom Always need a little more room Whisper low, here I go I will see the sunshine show
