“If”

(Waters) 4:30

If I were a swan, I'd be gone.

If I were a train, I'd be late.

And if I were a good man,

I'd talk with you

More often than I do.

If I were to sleep, I could dream.

If I were afraid, I could hide.

If I go insane, please don't put

Your wires in my brain.

If I were the moon, I'd be cool.

If I were a book, I would bend for you.

If I were a good man, I'd understand

The spaces between friends.

If I were alone, I would cry.

And if I were with you, I'd be home and dry.

And if I go insane,

And they lock me away,

Will you still let me join in the game?

If I were a swan, I'd be gone.

If I were a train, I'd be late again.

If I were a good man,

I'd talk with you

More often than I do.

“Summer '68”

(Wright) 5:28

Would you like to say something before you leave

Perhaps you'd care to state exactly how you feel

We said good-bye before we said hello

I hardly even like you, I shouldn't care at all

We met just six hours ago, the music was too loud

From your bed I gained a day and lost a bloody year

And I would like to know

How do you feel, how do you feel, how do you feel?

Not a single word was said, delights still without fears

Occasionally you showed a smile but what was the need

I felt the cold far too soon - the wind of '95

My friends are lying in the sun, I wish that I was there

Tomorrow brings another town and another girl like you

Have you time before you leave to greet another man

Just you let me know

How do you feel, how do you feel, how do you feel?

Good-bye to you

Charlotte Kringles too

I've had enough for one day

“Fat Old Sun”

(Gilmour) 5:23

When the fat old sun in the sky is falling

Summer evenin' birds are calling

Summer's thunder time of year

The sound of music in my ears

Distant bells, new mown grass

Smells so sweet

By the river holding hands

Roll me up and lay me down

And if you sit don't make a sound

Pick your feet up off the ground

And if you hear as the warm night falls

The silver sound from a time so strange

Sing to me, sing to me

When that fat old sun in the sky is falling

Summer evenin' birds are calling

Children's laughter in my ears

The last sunlight disappears

And if you sit don't make a sound

Pick your feet up off the ground

And if you hear as the warm night falls

The silver sound from a time so strange

Sing to me, sing to me

When that fat old sun in the sky is falling

Ummagumma” Lyrics

“Astronomy Domine”

(Barrett) 8:31

Lime and limpid green, a second scene

A fight between the blue you once knew.

Floating down, the sound resounds

Around the icy waters underground.

Jupiter and Saturn, Oberon, Miranda and Titania.

Neptune, Titan, Stars can frighten.

Blinding signs flap,

Flicker, flicker, flicker blam. Pow, pow.

Stairway scare Dan dare who's there?

Lime and limpid green, the sounds surronds

The icy waters under

Lime and limpid green, the sounds surronds

The icy waters underground.

“Careful With That Axe, Eugene”

“Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun”

(Waters) 9:26

Little by little the night turns around.

Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn.

Lotuses lean on each other in yearning.

Under the eaves the swallow is resting.

Set the controls for the heart of the sun.

Over the mountain watching the watcher.

Breaking the darkness

Waking the grapevine.

One inch of love is one inch of shadow

Love is the shadow that ripens the wine.

Set the controls for the heart of the sun.

The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun.

Witness the man who raves at the wall

Making the shape of his questions to Heaven.

Whether the sun will fall in the evening

Will he remember the lesson of giving?

Set the controls for the heart of the sun.

The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun.

“Grantchester Meadows”

(Waters) 7:28

"Icy wind of night be gone this is not your domain"

In the sky a bird was heard to cry.

Misty morning whisperings and gentle stirring sounds

Belied the deathly silence that lay all around.

Hear the lark and harken to the barking of the dog fox

Gone to ground.

See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water.

And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees

Laughing as it passes through the endless summer

Making for the sea.

In the lazy water meadow I lay me down.

All around me golden sun flakes settle on the ground.

Basking in the sunshine of a bygone afternoon

Bringing sounds of yesterday into this city room.

Hear the lark harken to the barking of the dark fox

Gone to ground.

See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water.

And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees.

In the lazy water meadow I lay me down.

All around me golden sun flakes covering the ground.

Basking in the sunshine of a bygone afternoon

Bringing sounds of yesterday into this city room.

Hear the lark harken to the barking of the dark fox

Gone to ground.

See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water.

And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees,

Laughing as it passes through the endless summer making for the sea.

“Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving With a Pict”

(Waters) 5:01

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.

“The Narrow Way Parts I, II, & III”

(Gilmour) Part I 3:29, Part II 2:54, Part III 5:58

Following the path as it leads toward

The darkness in the north

Weary stranger's faces show their sympathy

They've seen that hope before

And if you want to stay for a little bit

Rest your aching limbs for a little bit

For you the night is beckoning

And now you can't delay

You hear the night birds calling you

But you can't catch the words they say

And you must you realize be on your way

Mystery swelling, creatures crawling

Hear the roar ger louder in your ears

You know the folly was your own

But the force behind can't conquer all you fears

And if you want to stay for a little bit

Rest your aching limbs for a little bit

For you the night is beckoning and you know

And now you can't delay

You hear the night birds calling you

But you can't catch the words they say

And you must you realize be on your way

Throw your thoughts back many years

To the time when love was life with every morning

Perhaps a day will come when the match for me the curlers past warning

And if you want to stay for a little bit

Rest your aching limbs for a little bit

For you the night is beckoning

And now you can't delay

You hear the night birds calling you

But you can't catch the words they say

And you must you realize be on your way

“Shine On You Crazy Diamond” (1-5)

13:38

Part 1: Wright, Waters, Gilmour

Part 2: Gilmour, Waters, Wright

Part 3: Waters, Gilmour, Wright

Part 4: Gilmour, Wright, Waters

Part 5: Waters

Remember when you were young,

You shone like the sun.

Shine on you crazy diamond.

Now there's a look in your eyes,

Like black holes in the sky.

Shine on you crazy diamond.

You were caught on the crossfire

Of childhood and stardom,

Blown on the steel breeze.

Come on you target for faraway laughter,

Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!

You reached for the secret too soon,

You cried for the moon.

Shine on you crazy diamond.

Threatened by shadows at night,

And exposed in the light.

Shine on you crazy diamond.

Well you wore out your welcome

With random precision,

Rode on the steel breeze.

Come on you raver, you seer of visions,

Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!

“Welcome to the Machine”

(Waters) 7:30

Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.

Where have you been?

It's alright we know where you've been.

You've been in the pipeline, filling in time,

Provided with toys and 'Scouting for Boys'.

You brought a guitar to punish your ma,

And you didn't like school, and you

know you're nobody's fool,

So welcome to the machine.

Welcome my son, welcome to the machine.

What did you dream?

It's alright we told you what to dream.

You dreamed of a big star,

He played a mean guitar,

He always ate in the Steak Bar.

He loved to drive in his Jaguar.

So welcome to the Machine.

“Have a Cigar”

(Waters) 5:24

Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar.

You're gonna go far, fly high,

You're never gonna die,

You're gonna make it if you try;

They're gonna love you.

Well I've always had a deep respect,

And I mean that most sincerely.

The band is just fantastic,

that is really what I think.

Oh by the way, which one's Pink?

And did we tell you the name of the game, boy,

We call it Riding the Gravy Train.

We're just knocked out.

We heard about the sell out.

You gotta get an album out.

You owe it to the people.

We're so happy we can hardly count.

Everybody else is just green,

Have you seen the chart?

It's a helluva start,

It could be made into a monster

If we all pull together as a team.

And did we tell you the name of the game, boy,

We call it Riding the Gravy Train.

“Wish You Were Here”

(Waters, Gilmour) 5:17

So, so you think you can tell

Heaven from Hell blue skies from Pain

Can you tell a green field

From a cold steel rail ?

A smile from a veil ?

Do 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 chains ?

And did you exchange

A walk on part in the war

For a lead role in a cage

How I wish, how I wish you were here

We're just two lost souls

Swimming in a fish bowl,

Year after year

Running over the same old ground

What have we found ?

The same old fears

Wish you were here

12:28

Part 6: Wright, Waters, Gilmour

Part 7: Waters, Gilmour, Wright

Part 8: Gilmour, Wright, Waters

Part 9: Wright

Nobody knows where you are,

How near or how far.

Shine on you crazy diamond.

Pile on many more layers

And I'll be joining you there.

Shine on you crazy diamond.

And we'll bask in the shadow

Of yesterday's triumph,

And sail on the steel breeze.

Come on you boy child,

You winner and loser,

Come on you miner for truth and delusion, and shine!
