Pink Floyd Beginnings 1967-1972

INDISTINCT CHANTING

# Lime and limpid green A second scene

# A fight between the blue you once knew

# Floating down The sound resounds

# Around the icy waters Underground

# Jupiter and Saturn

# Oberon, Miranda and Titania

# Neptune, Titan Stars can frighten

# Woo-oo-oo-oo

# Oo-oo-oo-oo

# Woo-oo-oo-oo

# Oo-oo-oo-oo

# Woo-oo-oo-oo

# Oo-oo-oo-oo

# Woo-oo-oo-oo

# Oo-oo-oo-oo

# Blinding signs flap

# Flicker flicker Flicker blam

# Pow

# Pow

# Stairway scare Dan Dare

# Who's there?

# Woo-oo-oo-oo

# Oo-oo-oo-oo

# Woo-oo-oo-oo

# Oo-oo-oo-oo

# Lime and limpid green

# The sounds around

# The icy waters under

# Lime and limpid green

# The sounds around

# The icy waters

# Underground. #

# It's awfully considerate of you

# To think of me here

# And I'm most obliged to you

# For making it clear

# That I'm not here

# And I never knew the moon Could be so big

# And I never knew the moon Could be so blue

# And I'm grateful that you Threw away my old shoes

# And brought me here instead Dressed in red

# And I'm wondering who Could be writing this song

# I don't care If the sun don't shine

# And I don't care If nothing is mine

# And I don't care If I'm nervous with you

# I'll do my loving In the winter...

# La, la, la, la La, la, la, la

# La, la, la, la La, la, la, la...

# And the sea isn't green

# And I love the queen

# And what exactly is a dream?

# And what exactly is a joke? #

# Last night I had too much to drink

# Sitting in a club with so many fools

# Playing to rules

# Trying to impress But feeling rather empty

# I had another drink

# A drink, a drink, a drink A drink, a drink

# What a way to spend that evening

# They all turn up with their friends

# Playing the game

# But in the scene Oh, I should have been

# Far away

# Away, away, away Away, away

# Getting up I feel so bad Remembering what's been before

# I open the door

# To an empty room

# Then I forget...

# The telephone rings And someone speaks

# She would very much Like to go

# Out to a show

# So what can I do?

# I can't think what to say

# She sees through anyway

# Away, away, away Away, away

# Out of the front door I go

# Traffic's moving rather slow

# Arriving late There she waits

# Looking very angry

# As cross as she can be

# Be, a be, a be A be, a be

# Getting up, I feel so bad Remembering what's been before

# I open the door

# To an empty room

# Then I forget

# Ah, ah-ah-ah Ah, ah-ah

# Ah, ah-ah-ah Ah, ah-ah

# Ah, ah-ah-ah Ah, ah-ah ah... #

It's a new kind of cultural revolution,

a revolution of a whole generation.

You could catch it in a metaphor by saying the Paris revolution of

May 1968 is youth culture's

biggest and most successful happening to date.

It's the revolution of a dream, really.

-# It would be so nice

-Ah-ah

-# It would be so nice

-Ah-ah

-# It would be so nice

-Ah-ah

-# To meet, sometime

-Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...

# Everybody wakes And in the morning

# Hot tea And can't stop yawning

# Pass the butter please

# Have you ever read The Daily Standard?

# Reading all about The plane that's landed

# Upside down

# And no-one knows

# What I did today

# There can be No other way

# But I would just like to say... #

-Are you still commercial, or are you not commercial?

-Erm...

I don't know, you tell me. You live here.

-If our records are selling, we're commercial...

-I think you are not...

-You are not commercial.

-So our records aren't selling here.

Are you going to do something about it?

Erm...

No, we'll just go on making the stuff that we make, you know,

and doing the things that we do.

# Alone in the clouds all blue

# Lying on an eiderdown

# Yippee! You can't see me

# But I can you

# Lazing in the foggy dew

# Sitting on a unicorn

# Too much I won't touch you

# But then I might

# Watching buttercups Cup the light

# Sitting on a dandelion

# No fair You can't hear me

# But I can you

# Streaming through The starlit sky

# Travelling by telephone

# Hey ho Here we go

# Ever so high

# Alone in the clouds all blue

# Travelling by telephone

# Hey ho Here we go

# Ever so high. #

HOST INTRODUCES BAND IN FRENCH

# Far, far, far

# Far away, way

# People heard him say, say

# Something will be done

# Then at last The mighty ship

# Descending on a point of flame

# Made contact with the Human race at Mildenhall

# Oh, my, something in the

# Sky, sky

# Carter's father Saw him there

# And knew the Rhull Revealed to him

# The living soul of Hereward The Wake

# Oh, oh, did you ever

# Know, know

# Never ever will they

# I cannot say

# The outer lock Rolls slowly back

# The service men Were heard to sigh

# For there revealed In glowing robes

# Was Lucy in the sky

# Now, now, now is the

# Time, time

# Time to

# Be, Be

# Be aware

# Summoning his cosmic powers

# And glowing slightly From his toes

# The psychic emanations fly...

# Far, far, far

# Far away, way

# People heard him say, say

# Something will be done

# Summoning his cosmic powers

# And glowing slightly From his toes

# The psychic emanations fly. #

APPLAUSE

# Little by little The night turns around

# Counting the leaves Which tremble at dawn

# Lotuses lean on Each other in yearning

# Under the eaves The swallow is resting

# Oh, oh-oh, oh oh

# Oh, oh-oh, oh oh

# Set the controls For the heart of the sun

# Over the mountain Watching the watcher

# Breaking the darkness Waking the grapevine

# One inch of love Is one inch of shadow

# Love is the shadow That ripens the wine

# Oh, oh-oh, oh oh

# Oh, oh-oh, oh oh

# Set the controls For the heart of the sun

# The heart of the sun The heart of the sun

# The heart of the sun The heart of the sun

# The heart of the sun The heart of the sun

# The heart of the sun The heart of the sun...

# Witness the man Who raves at the wall

# Making the shape of His questions to heaven

# Whether the sun will Fall in the evening

# Will you remember The lesson of giving?

# Oh, oh-oh, oh oh

# Oh, oh-oh, oh oh

# Set the controls For the heart of the sun

# The heart of the sun The heart of the sun

# The heart of the sun The heart of the sun

APPLAUSE

# Heavy hung the canopy of blue

# Shade my eyes and I can see you

# White was the light that shines

# Through the dress that you wore

# She lay in the shadow of the wave

# Hazy were the visions overplayed

# Sunshine in her eyes

# But moonshine made her cry Every time

# Green is the colour of her kind

# Quickness of the eye

# Deceives the mind

# Envy is the bond between

# The hopeful and the damned. #

HE SCATS

CHOIR SINGS

OVERLAPPING WHISPERS

HE MAKES TICKING NOISE

PIANO PLAYS UNACCOMPANIED

# Heaven sent, the promised land

# Looks all right from where I stand

# Cos I'm the man on the outside looking in

# Waiting on the first step

# Show me where the key is kept

# Point me down the right line, because it's time

# To let me in

# From the cold

# Turn my lead into gold

# Cos there's a chill wind blowing in my soul

# And I think I'm growing old

# Flash the readies, what's, uh, the deal?

# Got to make it to the next meal

# Try to keep up with the turning of the wheel

# Mile after mile

# Stone after stone

# You turn to speak but you're alone

# A million miles from home, you're on your own

# So let me in

# From the cold

# Turn my lead into gold

# Cos there's a chill wind blowing in my soul

# And I think I'm growing old

# Fire bright by candlelight

# And her by my side

# And if she prefers we will never stir again

# Someone said the promised land

# And I grabbed it with both hands

# Now I'm the man on the inside looking out

# Hear me shout, "Come on in

# "What's the news? Where you been?"

# Cos there's no wind left in my soul

# And I've grown old. #
