Floydian Memories

Pigs on the Wing - Part I
MB If you Didn't care
what happened to me
And I didn't care
For you
We would zig zag our way through the boredom and pain
Occasionally glancing up through the rain
Wondering which of the buggers to blame
And watching for pigs on the wing
Fearless
MB You say the hill's too steep to climb
MB/GW Climb it
MB You say you'd like to see me try
MB/GW climbing
MB You pick the place and I'll choose the time
AL And I'll climb that hill in my own way
Just wait a while for the right day
And as I rise above the tree lines and the clouds
I look down
Hearing the sound of the things you've said today
MB Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd
MB/GW Smiling
MB/AL Merciless the magistrate turned 'round
MB/GW Frowning
GW And who's the fool who wears the crown
JR And go down
In your own way
And every day is the right day
And as you rise above the fear lines in his brow
GW You look down
GW/MB Hearing the sound of the faces
GW In the crowd
Mother (The Post War Dream/Thin Ice)
MB Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb
GW Tell Me true, Tell me why
MB Mother do you think they'll like this song
GW Was Jesus Crucified?
GW Maggie, What have we done?
MB/GW Mother do you think they'll try to break my balls
Ooooooh aaaah
MB Mother should I build a wall
Mother do you think she's good enough?
GW Momma loves her baby and Daddy Loves you too
MB Mother do you think she's Dangerous?
GW And the sea may look warm to you babe
And the sky may look blue
Bike
JR I've got a bike you can ride it if you like
GW Its got a bar, bell a basket
AL Reflectors and a spider seat
MB Cards on the spoke wheels
GW Customized license plates

BA Lots of things to make it look good
MB I'd give it to you if I could
Brain Damage

ALL Remembering days and daisy chains and laughs
got to keep the loonies on the path
MB Main Melody
GW First Harmony
BA/GW Additional Harmony
AL High Harmony
(Tienneman's Square/Goodbye Blue Sky)
GW And I grieve for my sister
MB/GW Did Did Did Did You see the frightened ones
Did Did Did Did You hear the falling bombs
Point Me at the Sky
GW Hey Eugene, this is Henry McClean
And I've finished my beautiful flying machine
And I'm ringing to say that I'm leaving today
And maybe you'd like to come with me and
Hide with me Baby
Your Possible Pasts
GW Do you remember me
How we used to be
Do you think we should be closer?
"Shining on" guitar solo by Arjen Lucassen
One in the Crowd
GW With all their words and voices shouting
You leave it behind
'Cus you're aware
And Now surround me
Leading the Light
(spoken) Dark stands before me
With Just one clue presenting
The touch
Of her hand
Off in a Dare
Well Hidden within color
Perchance I should tell her
A path Bold
And Cluttered
I'll Find a way
Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict
(distant banter)
Baby Lemonade
Please, Please Baby Lemonade
Welcome to the Machine
JR/GW Welcome my son, welcome to the machine
What did you dream,
BA How I wish, How I wish you were here
JR/GW It's alright we told you what to dream
ALL So welcome........
JR/MB To the machine
Summer of '68
Instrumental
Sheep
AL Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland away
Only dimmly aware of a certain unease in the air
Raving and Drooling we fell on his neck with a scream
Wave upon wave of demented avengers march
cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream
Julia Dream
MB Julia dream, Dreamboat Queen
Queen of all my dreams
GW Sunlight bright upon my pillow
Lighter than an eiderdown
Will she let the weeping willow
Wind his branches 'round
AL Julia Dream, Dreamboat queen
Queen of all my dreams
Julia Dream, Dreamboat queen
Queen of all my dreams
GW Every night I Turn the light out
Waiting for the velvet bride
Will the following footsteps catch me
Am I really dying?
MB Julia Dream, Dreamboat queen
Queen of all my dreams
Julia Dream, Dreamboat queen
Queen of all my dreams
MB Julia Dream, Dreamboat queen
MB/GW Queen of all my dreams
GW Sssssssyd
Comfortably Numb
Guitar solo - Gary Wehrkamp
Cymbaline
GW The path you tread is narrow
And the drop is sheer and very high
The ravens all are watching from a vantage point nearby
apprehension creeping like a
choo- train up your spine
Will the tight reach the end
AL Doctor Strange is always changing size
Will the final couplet rhyme?
GW And it's high Time, Cymbaline
Yeah it's, High time, Cymballine
Please Wake me

GW and Kings
BA You can hide, hide, hide
GW Is Everyone in
GW Are you having a nice time?
On the Turning Away
GW No more turning away
GW/MB From the weak and the weary
GW/MB/JR No more turning away from the
GW/MB/JR/AL Coldness inside
MB/JR/GW Just a world that we
GW/MB/JR/AL All must share
Not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there'll be no more turning away
Pigs on the Wing - Part II
MB You know that I care
What happens to You
And I know that you care
For me too
MB/GW So I don't feel alone
or the weight of the stone
Now that I've found somewhere safe to bury my bone
And any fool knows a dog needs a home
MB A shelter
GW What's it all about?
MB From pigs on the wing
MB Mother did it need to be so high?
