Wish you were here

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,blue skies from pain.Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil?Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you trade your heroes for ghosts?Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze?Cold comfort for change? And did you exchangea walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl,year after year,running over the same old ground. What have we found?The same old fears,wish you were here.

traduzione:

Cosi', cosi' pensi di distinguere l'inferno dal paradiso i cieli azzurri dal dolore puoi distinguere un prato verde da un freddo binario d'acciaio un sorriso da una maschera tu credi di saper distinguere ?Ti hanno fatto cambiare i tuoi eroi per fantasmi ceneri calde per alberi aria calda per brezza freddo comfort per cambio hai scambiato un cammino ai margini della guerra per un ruolo di comando in una gabbia Come vorrei, come vorrei che tu fossi qui Siamo due anime perse che nuotano in una   vaschetta per pesci anno dopo anno correndo nello stesso vecchio cortile cosa abbiamo trovato gli stessi vecchi dispiaceriVorrei che tu fossi qui.

Shine on you crazy diamond (part 1)

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.Shine on you crazy diamond.Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.Shine on you crazy diamond.You were caught on the cross fire of childhood and stardom,blown on the steel breeze.Come on you target for faraway laughter, come on you stranger,you legend, you martyr, and shine!

You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.Shine on you crazy diamond.Treatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.Shine on you crazy diamond.Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,rode on the steel breeze.Come on you raver, you seer of visions, come on you painter,you piper, you prisoner, and shine!---------Shine on you crazy diamond (part 2)

Nobody knows where you are, how near or how far.Shine on you crazy diamond.Pile on many more layers and I'll be joining you there.Shine on you crazy diamond.And we'll bask in the shadow of yesterday's triumph,and sail on the steel breeze.Come on you boy child, you winner and loser,come on you miner for truth and delusion, and shin

traduzione:

Ricorda quando eri giovane e splendevi come il sole / continua a brillare pazzo diamante / ora c'è uno sguardo nei tuoi occhi, come buchi neri nel cielo / continua a brillare pazzo diamante / eri intrappolato nel fuoco incrociato d'infanzia e celebrità / portato via dal vento metallico / vieni avanti tu bersaglio per risate distanti, vieni, tu straniero, tu leggenda tu martire e splendi! / tu hai raggiunto il segreto troppo presto, tu ululavi alla luna continua a brillare pazzo diamante / minacciato dalle ombre durante la notte, esposto alla luce / continua a brillare pazzo diamante / hai esaurito i tuoi "benvenuto" sparandoli a casaccio / hai cavalcato il vento metallico / vieni avanti tu farneticante, tu visionario,vieni tu pittore, tu pifferaio, tu prigioniero e splendi!

Nessuno sa dove sei, vicino o lontano / continua a brillare pazzo diamante / fai un mucchio molto più grande e io ci salirò con te / continua a brillare pazzo diamante / e ci sdraieremo all'ombra dei trionfi di ieri / e navigheremo nel vento metallico / vieni avanti tu ragazzino, tu vincitore e vinto, vieni tu cercatore di verità e delusione e splendi!

Another brick in the wall (part 1)

Daddy's flown across the oceanLeaving just a memoryA snap shot in the family albumDaddy what else did you leave for meDaddy what d'ya leave behind for meAll in all it was all just a brick in the wallAll in all it was all just bricks in the wall

-----------Another brick in the wall (part 2)

We don't need no educationWe don't need no thought controlNo dark sarcasm in the classroomTeachers leave the kids aloneHey teacher leave us kids aloneAll in all it's just another brick in the wallAll in all you're just another brick in the wall

We don't need no educationWe don't need no thought controlNo dark sarcasm in the classroom

Teachers leave the kids aloneHey teacher leave us kids aloneAll in all you're just another brick in the wallAll in all you're just another brick in the wall-----------Another brick in the wall (part 3)

I don't need no arms around meI don't need no drugs to calm meI have seen the writing on the wallDon'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 just bricks in the wall

traduzione:

Papà è volato al di là dell'oceano lasciando solo un ricordo. Un istantanea nell'album di famiglia. Papà. Che altro mi hai lasciato? Papà. Che altro hai lasciato per me? Dopo tutto era solo un mattone nel muro.Dopo tutto ogni cosa era solo mattoni nel muro. Noi non abbiamo bisogno di istruzione. Noi non abbiamo bisogno di controllo del pensiero. Di sinistro sarcasmo in classe. Insegnanti. Lasciate stare i ragazzi, ehi professore lasciaci stare. Dopo tutto è solo un altro mattone nel muro. Dopo tutto sei solo un altro mattone nel muro.

Non ho bisogno di braccia che mi stringano. Non ho bisogno di droghe per calmarmi. Ho visto la scritta sul muro.Non pensare che io abbia bisogno di qualcosa. No, non pensare che io avrò mai bisogno di qualcosa.Dopo tutto era tutto solo mattoni nel muro. Dopo tutto eravate tutti solo mattoni nel muro.  

Hey you

Hey you ! out there in the coldGetting lonely, getting old, can you feel meHey you ! Standing in the aislesWith itchy feet and fading smiles, can you feel meHey you ! don't help them to bury the lightDon't give in without a fight.Hey you ! out there on your own sitting naked by the phone would you touch meHey you ! with your ear against the wall Waiting for someone to call out would you touch meHey you ! would you help me to carry the stoneOpen your heart, I'm coming homeBut it was only a fantasyThe wall was too high as you can seeNo matter how he tried he could not break free And the worms ate into his brain.Hey you ! out there on the roadDoing what you're told, can you help me

Hey you ! out there beyond the wallBreaking 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.

Nobody home

I've got a little black book with my poems inI've got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb inWhen I'm a good dog they sometimes throw me a bone inI got elastic bands keeping my shoes onGot those swollen hand blues.Got thirteen channels of shit on the T.V. to choose fromI've got electric lightAnd I've got second sightI've got amazing powers of observationAnd 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 permAnd I've got the inevitable pinhole burnsAll down the front of my favorite satin shirt I've got nicotine stains on my fingersI've got a silver spoon on a chainI've got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remainsI've got wild staring eyesI've got a strong urge to fly But I've got nowhere to fly toOoooh Babe when I pick up the phone There's still nobody homeI've got a pair of Gohills bootsAnd I've got fading roots.

Echoes

Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the airAnd deep beneath the rolling wavesIn labyrinths of coral cavesThe echo of a distant timeComes willowing across the sandAnd everything is green and submarine

And no-one showed us to the landAnd no-one knows the where or whysBut something stirs and something triesAnd starts to climb towards the light

Strangers passing in the streetBy chance two separate glances meetAnd I am you and what I see is meAnd do I take you by the handAnd lead you through the landAnd help me understand the best I can

And no-one calls us to move onAnd no-one forces down our eyesAnd no-one speaks and no-one triesAnd no-one flies around the sun

Cloudless everyday you fall upon my waking eyesInviting and inciting me to riseAnd through the window in the wallCome streaming in on sunlight wingsA million bright ambassadors of morning

And no-one sings me lullabiesAnd no-one makes me close my eyesAnd so I throw the windows wideAnd call to you across the sky

Mother

Mother do you think they'll drop the bombMother do you think they'll like the songMother do you think they'll try to break my ballsOoooh aah, Mother should I build a wall

Mother should I run for presidentMother should I trust the government Mother will they put me in the firing lineOoooh aah, is it it just a waste of time * Hush now baby don't you cryMama's gonna make all of your Nightmares come trueMama's gonna put all of her fears into youMama's gonna keep you right hereUnder her wing she won't let you fly but she might let you singMama will keep baby cosy and warmOoooh Babe Ooooh Babe Ooooh BabeOf course Mama's gonna help build the wall

Mother do think she's good enough for meMother do think she's dangerous to meMother will she tear your little boy apartOooh aah, mother will she break my heart Hush now baby, baby don't you cryMama's gonna check out all your girl friends for you Mama won't let anyone dirty get through Mama's gonna wait up till you come inMama will always find out whereYou've beenMamma's gonna keep baby healthy and cleanOoooh Babe Ooooh Babe Ooooh BabeYou'll always be a baby to meMother, did it need to be so high

Keep Talking

For millions of years mankind lived just like animalsThen something happened which unleashed the power of our imaginationWe learned to talk

There's a silence surrounding meI can't seem to think straightI'LL sit in the cornerNo one can bother meI think I should speak nowMy words won't come out rightI feel like I'm drowningI'm feeling week nowBut I can't show my weaknessI sometimes wonderWhere do we go from me

It doesn't have to be like thisAll we need to do is make sure we keep talking

Why won't you talk to me

You never talk to meWhat are you thinkingWhat are you feelingWhy won't you talk to meYou never talk to meWhat are you thinkingWhere do we go from here

It doesn't have to be like thisAll we need to do is make sure we keep talking

Why won't you talk to meYou never talk to meWhat are you thinkingWhat are you feelingWhy won't you talk to meYou never talk to meWhat are you thinkingWhat are you feeling

I feel like I'm drowingYou know I can't breathe nowWe're going nowhereWe're going nowhere

The final cutThrough the fish eyed lens of tear stained eyesI can barely define the shape of this moment in timeand far from flying high in clear blue skiesI'm spiralling down to the hole in the ground where I hide

If you negotiate the minefield in the driveand beat the dogs and cheat the cold electronic eyesand if you make it past the shotgun in the halldial the combination open the priestholeand if I'm in I'll tell you what's behind the wallThere's a kid who had a big hallucinationmaking love to girls in magazineshe wonders if you're sleeping with your new found faithcould anybody love himor is it just a grazy dream

And if I show you my dark sidewill you still hold me tonightand if I open my heart to youand show you my weak sidewhat would you dowould you sell your story to rolling stonewould you take the children awayand leave me aloneand smile in reassuranceas you whisper down the phone

would you send me packingor would you take me home

Thought I oughta bare my naked feelingsThought I oughta tear the curtain downI held the blade in trembling handsprepared to make it but just then the phone rangI never had the nerve to make the final cut

Goodbye blue sky

Oooooooo ooo ooo oooohDid you see the frightened onesDid you hear the falling bombsDid you ever wonderWhy we had to run for shelterWhen the promise of a brave new worldUnfurled beneath a clear blue skyOooooooo ooo ooooo ooohDid you see the frightened onesDid you hear the falling bombsThe flames are all long goneBut the pain lingers onGoodbye blue skyGoodbye blue skyGoodbyeGoodbye

Don't leave me now

Ooooh BabeDon't leave me nowDon't say it's the end of the roadRemember the flowers I sentI need you BabeTo put through the shredderIn front of my friendsOoooh BabeDon't leave me now How could you go?When you know how I need YouTo beat to a pulp on a Saturday night Ooooh BabeDon't leave me now How can you treat me this wayRunning awayOoooh BabeWhy are you running away?Ooooh Babe

Welcome to the machine

Welcome, my son, welcome to the machine.Where have you been? It's alright, we know where you've been.You've been in the pipeline, filling in time,provided with toys and 'Scouting for Boys'.You bought a guitar to punish your ma,and you didn't like school, and you know you're nobody's fool,so welcome to the machine.

Welcome, my son, welcome to the machine.What did you dream? It's alright, we told you what to dream.You dreamed of a big star, he played a mean guitar,he always ate in the Steak Bar, he loved to drive in his Jaguar.So welcome to the machine
