The Dark Side of the Moon

[Intro]

*Heartbeat*

*Ticking clocks*

*Clinking coins, a ringing cash register, tearing paper, a clicking counting machine, and other items in a rhythmic pattern*

[Spoken: Chris Adamson, Gerry O'Driscoll, Peter Watts & Clare Torry]

I've been mad for fucking years, absolutely years

Been over the edge for yonks

Been working with bands so long, I think crikey

I've always been mad

I know I've been mad like the most of us have

Very hard to explain why you're mad

Even if you're not mad

*Laughter*

Ahh! Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

Breathe, breathe in the air

Don't be afraid to care

Leave, but don't leave me

Look around and choose your own ground

[Chorus]

For long you live and high you fly

And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry

And all you touch and all you see

Is all your life will ever be

[Verse 2]

Run, rabbit, run

Dig that hole, forget the sun

And when at last the work is done

Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

[Chorus]

For long you live and high you fly

But only if you ride the tide

And balanced on the biggest wave

You race towards an early grave

[Instrumental]

("Have your baggage and your passports ready and follow the green line to customs and then to immigration. BA 215 to Rome, Cairo, and Lagos…")

[Instrumental]

"Live for today, gone tomorrow, that's me"

*laughter*

[Instrumental]

*laughter*

*plane descending*

*explosion*

[Part I: Time]

*ticking clocks*

*clocks ringing*

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1: David Gilmour]

Ticking away

The moments that make up a dull day

You fritter and waste the hours

In an offhand way

Kicking around on a piece of ground

In your hometown

Waiting for someone

Or something to show you the way

[Chorus: Richard Wright]

Tired of lying in the sunshine

Staying home to watch the rain

You are young and life is long

And there is time to kill today

And then one day you find

Ten years have got behind you

No one told you when to run

You missed the starting gun

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2: David Gilmour]

And you run, and you run

To catch up with the sun, but it's sinking

And racing around

To come up behind you again

The sun is the same in a relative way

But you're older

Shorter of breath

And one day closer to death

[Chorus: Richard Wright]

Every year is getting shorter

Never seem to find the time

Plans that either come to naught

Or half a page of scribbled lines

Hanging on in quiet desperation

Is the English way

The time is gone, the song is over

Thought I'd something more to say

[Part II: Breathe (In the Air) (Reprise)]

[Outro: David Gilmour]

Home, home again

I like to be here when I can

When I come home cold and tired

It's good to warm my bones beside the fire

Far away across the field

The tolling of the iron bell

Calls the faithful to their knees

To hear the softly spoken magic spells

[Intro: Gerry O'Driscoll]

And I am not frightened of dying, you know

Any time will do, I don't mind

Why should I be frightened of dying?

There's no reason for it

You've gotta go sometime

[Non-Lyrical Vocals: Clare Torry]

[Interlude: Patricia Watts]

I never said I was frightened of dying

[Non-Lyrical Vocals: Clare Torry]

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Money, get away

Get a good job with more pay, and you're okay

Money, it's a gas

Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash

[Refrain]

New car, caviar, four-star daydream

Think I'll buy me a football team

[Verse 2]

Money, get back

I'm alright, Jack, keep your hands off of my stack

Money, it's a hit

Don't give me that do goody-good bullshit

[Refrain]

I'm in the hi-fidelity first class travelling set

And I think I need a Learjet

[Saxophone Solo]

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

Money, it's a crime

Share it fairly, but don't take a slice of my pie

Money, so they say

Is the root of all evil today

[Refrain]

But if you ask for a rise

It's no surprise that they're giving none away

[Outro: David Gilmour]

Away, away, away

Away, away, away, away

Ooh

Away, ooh

Ooh, ooh

No, no, no

Wooh, wooh-ooh-ooh

No, no, no

Bah, bah, bah

Wah-bah-bah-woo-hoo-wa-hoo

Do-da-wa

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-da-do

Woo

[Spoken Outro: Overlapping Voices]

"Hahaha, I was in the right"

"Yes, absolutely in the right"

"I certainly was in the right"

"Yeah, I was definitely in the right; that geezer was cruisin' for a bruisin'"

"Yeah"

"Why does anyone do anything?"

"I don't know, I was really drunk at the time"

"I was just telling him it was in, he could get it in number two. He was asking why it wasn't coming up on fader eleven. After, I was yelling and screaming and telling him why it wasn't coming up on fader eleven. It came to a heavy blow, which sorted the matter out…"

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

Us, and them

And after all, we're only ordinary men

Me, and you

God only knows it's not what we would choose to do

[Chorus 1]

"Forward!" he cried from the rear

And the front rank died

The general sat, and the lines on the map

Moved from side to side

[Verse 2]

Black and blue

And who knows which is which, and who is who?

Up and down

And in the end, it's only round and round, and round

[Chorus 2]

"Haven't you heard it's a battle of words?"

The poster bearer cried

"Listen, son," said the man with the gun

"There's room for you inside"

[Interlude]

"I mean, they're gonna kill ya

So like, if you give 'em a quick sh… short, sharp, shock

They don't do it again

Dig it? I mean, he got off light

'Cause I could've given him a thrashin'

I only hit him once!

It's only a difference in right and wrong, innit?

I mean good manners don't cost nothin', do they, eh?"

[Saxophone Solo]

[Verse 3]

Down and out

It can't be helped, but there's a lot of it about

With, without

And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about?

[Chorus 3]

Out of the way, it's a busy day

I've got things on my mind

For want of the price of tea and a slice

The old man died

[Verse 1: Roger Waters]

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

[Verse 2: Roger Waters]

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 paperboy brings more

[Chorus: Roger Waters]

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 forebodings too

I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

[Verse 3: Roger Waters & Peter Watts]

The lunatic is in my head (*laughter*)

The lunatic is in my head

You raise the blade, you make the change

You rearrange me 'till I'm sane

You lock the door and throw away the key

And there's someone in my head, but it's not me

[Chorus: Roger Waters]

And if the cloudbursts thunder in your ear

You shout and no one seems to hear (Oh, woah)

And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes (Hey, hey, hey)

I'll see you on the dark side of the moon! (Oh, oh, oh)

[Outro: Peter Watts & Patricia Watts]

I can't think of anything to say except...

*laughter*

I think it's marvellous!

*laughter*

[Verse: Roger Waters]

All that you touch

And all that you see

All that you taste

All you feel

And all that you loved

And all that you hate

All you distrust

All you save

And all that you give (All you give)

And all that you deal (Whoa-oh)

And all that you buy

Beg, borrow, or steal (Hey-hey)

And all you create

And all you destroy (Whoa-oh, oh-oh)

And all that you do

And all that you say (Hey, yeah)

And all that you eat

And everyone you meet (Everyone you meet)

And all that you slight

And everyone you fight (Ho, ho, ho, ho)

And all that is now

And all that is gone

And all that's to come

And everything under the sun is in tune (Everything)

But the sun is eclipsed by the moon

[Outro: Gerry O'Driscoll]

"There is no dark side in the moon really

Matter of fact, it's all dark"

*Heartbeats*
