Speak To Me / Breathe In The Air
Speak To Me (Mason)
Breathe (Mason, Gilmour, Wright)
Breathe, breathe in the air
Don't be afraid to care
Leave, but don't leave me
Lo ok around, choose your own ground
For long you live and high you fly \ nAnd smiles you'll give and tears
you'll
cry
And all you touch and al l you see
Is all your life will ever be
Run rabbit run
Dig th at h ole, 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 fl y
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
Y ou race towards an warly grave

Time
Time (Mason, Waters, Wright, 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 home town
Waiting for s omeone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sun sh ine,
staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is lon g
and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find,
ten y ears have got behind you
No one told you when to run,
you missed th e sta rting gun
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 brea th and o ne day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter,
nev er seem t o find the time
Plans that either come to nought,
or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the Eng lish way
T he time is gone the song is over,
thought I'd something m ore to say
Breathe (reprise)
Home, home again
I like to be her e when I can\ nWhen I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my b ones beside th e fire
Far away across the fields
The tolling of the iron bell
Call s the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spok en magic spells

Money
Money (Waters)
Money, get away
Get a good job with more pay and you're O.K.
Money, it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think I'll buy me a fo o tball team
Money, get back
I'm all right jack, keep your hands o ff my stack.
Money, it's a hit
Don't give me that do goody good bul lsh it
I'm in the hi-fidelity first class travelling set
And I think I n eed 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\ nBut if you ask for a rise, it's no surprise
that they're givi ng none away

Us And Them
Us And Them (Waters, Wright)
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
Th e General sat,
and the lines on the map moved from side to side
B la ck and blue
And who knows which is which and who is who
Up and do wn\ nAnd in the end it's only round and round
And round
Haven't yo u he ard 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 Ou t
It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about
With, without
A nd who' ll deny it's what the fighting's all about
Out of the way, it's a b usy day
I've got things on my mind
For want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died

Brain Damage
Brain Damage (Waters)
The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and dailsy chains and laughs
Got to ke ep the loonies on the path
The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatic s are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
An d every day the paper boy brings more
And if the dam breaks open m any years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if you r he ad explodes with dark forebodings too
I'll see you on the dark s ide o f the moon
The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my he ad
Yo u raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'til I'm san e
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my he ad but it's not me
And if the cloud bursts, thunder in you r ear
Yo u shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band you're in starts pla ying different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

Eclipse
Eclipse (Waters)
All that you touch
And all that you see
All that you taste
All you feel
And all that you love
And all that you hate
All you distrust
All you save
And all that you give
And all that you deal
And all that you buy
beg, borrow or steal
And all you cr ea te
And all you destroy
And all that you do
And all that you say
An d all that you eat
And everyone you meet
And all that you sligh t
An d everyone you fight
And all that is now
And all that is gone
And a ll that's to come
and everything under the sun is in tune
bu t the su n is eclipsed by the moon

Guest(s) Doris Troy Release Date Tuesday, July 07, 1987 Original Year 1973
Digital Remaster DIGVIS 2000
Pink Floyd: David Gilmour (vocals, guitar, VCS3 synthesizer); Richard Wright (vocals, keyboards, VCS3 synthesizer); Roger Waters (vocals, VCS3 synthesizer, bass, tape effects); Nick Mason (percussion, tape effects). Additional personnel: Clare Torry (vocals); Dick Parry (saxophone); Doris Troy, Leslie Duncan, Liza Strike, Barry St. John (background vocals).
Recorded at Abbey Road Studios, London, England between June 1972 and January 1973.
DARK SIDE OF THE MOON was a benchmark record. It turned the musical world on its ear with a hitherto unseen combination of sounds, and changed things considerably for Pink Floyd. For this project, Pink Floyd resurrected older and unfinished numbers, some of which came from the multitude of soundtracks the band members had previously worked on. The film "Zabriskie Point," a study of American materialism from a foreigner's perspective, provided "Us And Them" (originally titled "The Violence Sequence"). Waters rewrote "Breathe" after its appearance on his and avant-garde composer Ron Geesin's score for "The Body," a surreal medical documentary.
Floyd and their long-time engineer, Alan Parsons, used a multitude of sound effects--from stereophonically-projected footsteps and planes flying overhead ("On The Run") to a roomful of ringing clocks ("Time"). Further adding to the record's mystique, barely audible spoken passages were sprinkled throughout--a result of hours interviewing random Abbey Road occupants about their views on insanity, violence and death. Floyd must have struck a nerve; DARK SIDE OF THE MOON remained on Billboard's albums chart for an astounding fourteen years. It made Pink Floyd a household name, elevating them to the level of the Rolling Stones and The Who in the rock pantheon.
