Learning to Fly  (Gilmour, Ezrin, Moore, Carin)

Into the distance, a ribbon of black

Stretched to the point of no turning back

A flight of fancy on a windswept field

Standing alone my senses reeled

A fatal attraction is holding me fast, how

Can I escape this irresistible grasp?

Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky

Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings

Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything

No navigator to guide my way home

Unladened, empty and turned to stone

A soul in tension that's learning to fly

Condition grounded but determined to try

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies

Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,

My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,

Across the clouds I see my shadow fly

Out of the corner of my watering eye

A dream unthreatened by the morning light

Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night

There's no sensation to compare with this

Suspended animation, a state of bliss

Can't keep my mind from the circling skies

Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

The Dogs of War  (Gilmour, Moore)
Dogs of war and men of hate, with no cause, we don't disciminate
Discovery is to be disowned, our currency is flesh and bone

Hell opened up and put on sale, gather 'round and haggle

For hard cash, we will lie and decieve
Even our masters don't know the web we weave

One world, it's a battleground. One world, and we will smash it down.

One world... One world

Invisable transfers, long distance calls, hollow laughter in marble halls
Steps have been taken, a silent uproar has unleashed the dogs of war

You can't stop what has begun, signed, sealed, they deliver oblivion

We all have a dark side, to say the least
And dealing in death is the nature of the beast

One world, it's a battleground. One world, and they smash it down.

One world... One world

The dogs of war don't negotiate, the dogs of war won't capitulate,
They will take and you will give, and you must die so that they may live

You can knock at any door,
But wherever you go, you now they've been there before

Well winners can lose and things can get strained
But whatever you change, you know the dogs remain

One world, it's a battleground

One world, are we gonna smash it down

One world... One world

One Slip  (Gilmour, Manzanera)
                            (add4)
A restless eye across a weary room

A glazed look and I was on the road to ruin

The music played and played as we whirled without end

No hint, no word her honour to defend

                                (add4)
I will, I will she sighed to my request

And then she tossed her mane while my resolve was put to the test

Then drowned in desire, our souls on fire, I lead the way to the funeral pyre

And without a thought of the consequence, I gave into my decadence

One slip, and down the hole we fall

                     (add9)
It seems to take no time at all

A momentary lapse of reason, that binds a life for life

                                   (add9)
A small regret, you won't forget, there'll be no sleep in here tonight.

                                       (add4)
Was it love, or was it the idea of being in love?

Or was it the hand of fate, that seemed to fit just like a glove?

The moment slipped by and soon the seeds were sown

The year grew late and neither one wanted to remain alone

One slip, and down the hole we fall.

                     (add9)
It seems to take no time at all

A momentary lapse of reason, that binds life to a life

                                       (add9)
The one regret you will never forget, there'll be no sleep in here tonight

On the Turning Away  (Gilmour, Moore)
N..
On the turning away from the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say which we won't understand
"Don't accept that what's happening is just a case of others' suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in the turning away"

It's a sin that some how light is changing to shadow

And casting its shroud over all we have known

Unaware how the ranks have grown, driven on by a heart of stone

We could find that we're all alone in the dream of the proud.

On the wings of the night as the day time is stirring

Where the speachless unite in a silent accord

Using words you will find are strange and mesmerized as they light the flame

Feel the new wind of change on the wings of the night

No more turning away from the weak and the weary

No more turning away from the coldness inside

Just a world that we all must share, it's not enough just to stand and stare

Is it only a dream that there'll be no more turning away?

Yet Another Movie  (Gilmour, Leonard)

One sound, one single sound

One kiss, one single kiss

A face outside the window pane

However did it come to this?

A man who ran, a child who cried

A girl who heard, a voice that lied

The sun that burned a fiery red

The vision of an empty bed

The use of force, he was so tough

She'll soon submit, she's had enough

The march of fate, the broken will

Someone is lying very still

He has laughed and he has cried

He has fought and he has died

He's just the same as all the rest

He's not the worst, he's not the best

And still this ceaseless murmuring

The babbling that I brook

The seas of faces, eyes upraised

The empty screen, the vacant look

A man in black on a snow white horse,

A pointless life has run its course,

The red rimmed eyes, the tears still run

As he fades into the setting sun

Round And Around  (Gilmour)

A New Machine Part One  (Gilmour)
I have always been here
I have always looked out from behind the eyes
It feels like more than a lifetime
Feels like more than a lifetime

Sometimes I get tired of the waiting
Sometimes I get tired of being in here
Is this the way it has always been?
Could it ever have been different?

Do you ever get tired of the waiting?
Do you ever get tired of being in there?
Don't worry, nobody lives forever,
Nobody lives forever

Terminal Frost  (Gilmour)

A New Machine Part Two  (Gilmour)
I will always be in here
I will always look out from behind these eyes
It's only a lifetime
It's only a lifetime
It's only a lifetime

Sorrow  (Gilmour)

The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land

Plumes of smoke rise and merge into the leaden sky:

A man lies and dreams of green fields and rivers,

But awakes to a morning with no reason for waking

He's haunted by the memory of a lost paradise,

In his youth or a dream, he can't be precise

He's chained forever to a world that's departed

It's not enough, it's not enough.

His blood has frozen & curdled with fright

His knees have trembled & given way in the night

His hand is weakend at the moment of truth

His step has faltered.

One world,      one     soul.

Time pass, the river rolls.

        N../    N../  
        N../    N../    

And he talks to the river of lost love and dedication

And silent replies that swirl invitation

Flow dark and troubled to an oily sea

A grim intimation of what is to be.

There's an unceasing wind that blows through this night

And there's dust in my eyes, that blinds my sight

And silence that speaks so much louder than words,

Of promises broken.
