Let There Be More Light Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1: Richard Wright and Roger Waters]
Far, far, far, far away, way
People heard him say, say
"I will find a way, way
There will come a day, day
Something will be done"
[Chorus: David Gilmour]
Then at last, the mighty ship
Descending on a point of flame
Made contact with the human race at Mildenhall
[Verse 2: Richard Wright and Roger Waters]
Now, now, now
Is the time, time, time
To be, be, be aware
[Chorus: David Gilmour]
Carterās father saw him there
And knew the road revealed to him
The living soul of Hereward the Wake
[Verse 3: Richard Wright and Roger Waters]
Oh, my
Something in my eye, eye
Something in the sky, sky
Waiting there for me
[Chorus: David Gilmour]
The outer lock rolled slowly back
The service men were heard to sigh
For there revealed in glowing robes was Lucy in the sky
[Verse 4: Richard Wright and Roger Waters]
Oh, oh
Did you ever know, know?
Never ever will they
I can't say
[Chorus: David Gilmour]
Summoning his cosmic powers
And glowing slightly from his toes
His psychic emanations flowed
[Instrumental Outro]
Remember a Day Lyrics
[Verse 1: Richard Wright]
Remember a day before today
A day when you were young
Free to play alone with time
Evening never come
[Verse 2: Richard Wright]
Sing a song that canāt be sung
Without the morningās kiss
Queen, you shall be it if you wish
Look for your king
[Chorus: Richard Wright & Syd Barrett]
Why canāt we play today?
Why canāt we stay that way?
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3: Richard Wright]
Climb your favourite apple tree
Try to catch the sun
Hide from your little brotherās gun
Dream yourself away
[Chorus: Richard Wright & Syd Barrett]
Why canāt we reach the sun?
Why canāt we blow the years away?
[Outro: Richard Wright]
Blow away
Blow away
Remember
Remember
Remember
Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Refrain]
Set the controls for the heart of the sun
[Verse 2]
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
[Refrain]
Set the controls for the heart of the sun
[Interlude]
(The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun
The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun
The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun
The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun
The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun
The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun
The heart of the sun, the heart of the sunā¦)
[Verse 3]
Witness the man who raves at the wall
Making the shape of his question to Heaven
Whether the sun will fall in the evening
Will he remember the lesson of giving?
[Refrain]
Set the controls for the heart of the sun
[Outro]
(The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun
The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun
The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun
The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun
The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun
The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun
The heart of the sun, the heart of the sunā¦)
Corporal Clegg Lyrics
[Verse 1: David Gilmour & Nick Mason]
Corporal Clegg (Corporal Clegg) had a wooden leg
He won it in the war in 1944
Corporal Clegg (Corporal Clegg) had a medal too
In orange, red, and blue, he found it in the zoo
Dear, oh dear oh were they really sad for me?
Dear, oh dear oh will they really laugh at me?
[Chorus: Richard Wright]
Mrs. Clegg, you must be proud of him
Mrs. Clegg, another drop of gin?
[Kazoo Solo]
[Verse 2: David Gilmour & Nick Mason]
Corporal Clegg (Corporal Clegg) umbrella in the rain
Heās never been the same, no one is to blame
Corporal Clegg (Corporal Clegg) received his medal in a dream
From Her Majesty the Queen, his boots were very clean
[Chorus: Richard Wright]
Mrs. Clegg, you must be proud of him
Mrs. Clegg, another drop of gin?
[Outro]
Corporal Clegg, Corporal Clegg
Corporal Clegg, Corporal Clegg
Corporal Clegg, Corporal Clegg
Corporal Clegg, Corporal Clegg
Corporal Clegg, Corporal Clegg
Corporal Clegg, Corporal Clegg
Corporal Clegg

SeeāSaw Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Marigolds are very much in love
But he doesnāt mind
Picking up his sister, he makes his way into the see-saw land
All the way she smiles
[Refrain]
She goes up while he goes down
Down
[Verse 2]
Sits on a stick in the river
Laughter in his sleep
Sisterās throwing stones, hoping for a hit
He doesnāt know so then
[Refrain]
She goes up while he goes down
Down
[Chorus]
Another time (Ah-ah)
Another day (Ah-ah)
A brotherās way to leave (Ahh-ah)
Another time (Ah-ah)
Another day
[Verse 3]
Sheāll be selling plastic flowers
On a Sunday afternoon
Picking up weeds, she hasnāt got the time to care
All can see, heās not there
[Refrain]
She grows up for another man
And heās down
[Chorus]
Another time (Ah-ah)
Another day (Ah-ah)
A brotherās way to leave (Ahh-ah)
Another time (Ah-ah)
Another day
Another time (Ah-ah)
Another day (Ah-ah)
A brotherās way to leave (Ahh-ah)
(Ahh-ah, ahh-ah)
Jugband Blues Lyrics
[Verse]
Itās awfully considerate of you to think of me here
And Iām most obliged to you for making it clear, that Iām not here
And I never knew the moon could be so big
And I never knew the moon could be so blue
And Iām grateful that you threw away my old shoes
And brought me here instead dressed in red
And Iām wondering who could be writing this song
[Chorus]
I donāt care if the sun donāt shine
And I donāt care if nothing is mine
And I donāt care if Iām nervous with you
Iāll do my loving in the winter
[Interlude]
(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, laā¦)
[Outro]
And the sea isnāt green
And I love the Queen
And what exactly is a dream?
And what exactly is a joke?
