1. Speak to Me
Instrumental
2. Breathe (In the Air)
Breathe, breathe in the air Don't be afraid to care Leave, but don'y leave me Look around and choose your own ground
Long you leave and high you fly Smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry All you touch and all you see Is all your life will ever be
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
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
3. On the Run
Instrumental
4. Time
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain And you are young and live 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
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but is's sinking 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
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 quiet desperation is the English way The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say
Home, home again I like to be here when I can And 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
5. The Great Gig in the Sky
Instrumental
6. Money
Money, get away Get a good job with more pay and you're okay Money, it's a gas Drab that cash with both hands and make a stash New car, caviar, four star daydream, Think I'll buy me a football team
Money, get back I'm alright Jack, keep your hands off my stack Money, it's a hit Don't give me that do goody good bullshit I'm in the hi-fidelity first class travelling set And I thunk I need a Lear jet
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 But if you ask for a raise it's no surprise that they're giving none away
7. Us and Them
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
Forward he cried from the rear And the front rank died And the General sat, as the lines on the map Moved from side to side
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
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
Down and out It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about With, without And who'll deny that's what the fightings all about
Get out of the way, it's a busy day And I've got things on my mind For want of the price of tea and a slice The old man died
8. Any Colour You Like
Instrumental
9. 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
