Pink Floyd - Lyrics

Mama's gonna keep you right here under her wing

She won't let you fly but she might let you sing

Mama's gonna keep baby cosy and warm

Oooh babe Oooh babe Oooh babe

Of course mama's gonna help build the wall

Mother do you think she's good enough for me

Mother do you think she's dangerous tell me

Mother will she make your little boy a toy

Ooh mother will she break my heart

Hush now baby, baby don't you cry

Mama's gonna check out all of your girlfriends for you

Mama won't let anyone dirty get through

Mama's gonna wait up 'till you get in

Mama will always find out where you've been

Mama's gonna keep baby healthy and clean

Oooh babe Oooh babe Oooh babe

You'll always be a baby to me

Mother, did it need to be so high?

Ooooooooooooooooooh

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

Unfouled beneath a clear blue sky

Ooooooooooooooooooh

Did you see the frightened ones

Did you hear the falling bombs

The flames are all long gone

But the pain lingers on

Goodbye blue sky

Goodbye blue sky

Goodbye

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 applauses

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 us 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

What shall we use to fill the empty

Spaces where we used to talk

How should I fill the final places?

How should I complete 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?

Ooh I need a dirty woman

Ooh I need a dirty girl

Will some woman in this desert town

Make me feel like a real man

Take this rock'n'roll refugee

Ooh Babe set me free

Ooh I need a dirty woman

Ooh I need a dirty girl

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 any more.

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 favourite axe

Don't look so frightened

This is just a passing phase

Just one of my bad days

Would you like to watch T.V.?

Or get between the sheets

Or contemplate the silent freeway?

Would you like something to eat?

Would you like to learn to fly? Would you?

Would you like to see me try?

Oh I don't know

Would you like to call the cops?

Do you think it's time I stopped?

Why are you running away?

Oooh Babe

Don't leave me now

Don't say it's the end of the road

Remember the flowers I sent

I need you Babe

To put through the shredder

In front of my friends

Ooh 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

Ooh Babe

Don't leave me now

How can you treat me this way

Running away

Ooh Babe

Why are you running away?

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'll need anything at all

All in all it was all just bricks in the wall

All in all you were all just bricks in the wall

Goodbye cruel world

I'm leaving you today

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye

Goodbye all you people

There's nothing you can say

To make me change my mind

Goodbye

Hey you! out there in the cold

Getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me?

Hey you! standing in the aisles

With itchy feet and fading smiles, can you feel me?

Hey you! don't help them to bury the light

Don't give in without a fight.

Hey you! out there on your own

Sitting naked by the phone, would you touch me?

Hey you! with your ear against the wall

Waiting for someone to call out, would you touch me?

Hey you! would you help me to carry the stone?

Open your heart, I'm coming home

But it was only fantasy

The Wall was too high, as you can see

No matter how he tried he could not break free

And the worms ate into his brain.

Hey you! out there on the road

Always doing what you're told, can you help me?

Hey you! out there beyond the wall

Breaking bottles in the hall, can you help me?

Hey you! don't tell me there's no hope at all

Together we stand, divided we fall

Is there anybody out there?

I've got a little black book with my poems in

Got a bag with 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 T.V. 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've got the obligatory Hendrix Perm

And the inevitable pinhole burns

All down the front of my favourite 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've got wild staring eyes

And I've got a strong urge to fly

But I've got nowhere to fly to

Ooh Babe when I pick up the phone

There's still nobody home

I've got a pair of Gohills boots

And I've got fading roots…

Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn

Remember how she said that

We would meet again

Some sunny day

Vera! Vera!

What have 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

Bring the boys back home

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

I can ease your pain

And get you on your feet again

Relax,

I'll need some information first

Just the basic facts
