Brezhnev took Afghanistan Begin took Beirut Galtieri took the union jack And Maggie over lunch one day Took a cruiser with all hands Apparently to make him give it backThe Gnome
I want to tell you a story About a little man If I can. A gnome named Grimble Grumble. And little gnomes stay in their homes. Eating, sleeping, drinking their wine. He wore a scarlet tunic, A blue green hood, It looked quite good. He had a big adventure Amidst the grass Fresh air at last. Wining, dining, biding his time. And then one day - hooray! Another way for gnomes to say Hoooooooooray. Look at the sky, look at the river Isn't it good? Look at the sky, look at the river Isn't it good? Winding, finding places to go. And then one day - hooray! Another way for gnomes to say Hoooooooooray. Hooooooooooooooray.The Gold It's In The...
Come on, my friends let's make for the hills. They say there's gold but I'm looking for thrills. You can get your hands on whatever we find, Cause I'm only comin' 'long for the ride. Well, you go your way, I'll go mine. I don't care if we get there on time. Ev'rybody's searching for something they say. I'll get my kicks on the way. Over the mountain, across the seas, Who knows what will be waiting for me? I could sail forever to strange sounding names. Faces of people and places don't change. All I have to do is close my eyes To see the sea gulls wheeling in those far distant skies. All I want to tell you, all I want to say Is count me in on the journey, Don't expect me to stay.Goodbye Blue Sky
Oooooooo ooo ooo ooooh Did you see the frightened ones Did you hear the falling bombs Did you ever wonder Why we had to run for shelter When the promise of a brave new world Unfurled beneath a clear blue sky Oooooooo ooo ooooo oooh Did you see the frightened ones Did you hear the falling bombs The flames are all long gone But the pain lingers on Goodbye blue sky Goodbye blue sky Goodbye GoodbyeGoodbye Cruel World
Goodbye cruel world I'm leaving you today Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye all you people There's nothing you can say To make me change My mind Goodbye.Grand Vizier's Garden Party
--- instrumental ---Grantchester Meadows
Icy wind of night, be gone. This is not your domain. In the sky a bird was heard to cry. Misty morning whisperings and gentle stirring sounds Belied a deathly silence that lay all around. Hear the lark and hearken to the barking of the dog fox gone to ground. See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water. And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees, Laughing as it passes through the endless summer making for the sea. In the lazy water meadow I lay me down. All around me, Golden sunflakes settle on the ground, Basking in the sunshine of a by gone afternoon, Bringing sounds of yesterday into this city room. Hear the lark and hearken to the barking of the dog fox gone to ground. See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water. And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees, Laughing as it passes through the endless summer making for the sea. In the lazy water meadow I lay me down. All around me, Golden sunflakes covering the ground, Basking in the sunshine of a by gone afternoon, Bringing sounds of yesterday into my city room. Hear the lark and hearken to the barking of the dog fox gone to ground. See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water. And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees, Laughing as it passes through the endless summer making for the sea.A Great Day For Freedom
On the day the wall came down They threw the locks onto the ground And with glasses high we raised a cry for freedom had arrived On the day the wall cane down The Ship of Fools had finally run aground Promises lit up the night like paper doves in flight I dreamed you had left my side No warmth, not even pride remained And even though you needed me It was clear that I could not do a thing for you Now life devalues day by day As friends and neighbours turn away And there's a change that, even with regret, cannot be undone Now frontiers shift like desert sands While nations wash their bloodied hands Of loyalty, of history, in shades of gray I woke to the sound of drums The music played, the morning sun streamed in I turned and I looked at you And all but the bitted residue slipped away...slipped awayThe Great Gig In The Sky
--- instrumental ---Green Is The Colour
Heavy hung the canopy blue Shade my eyes and I can see you White is the light that shines Thru the dress you wore She lay in the shadow of a wave Hazy were the visions over played Sunlight in her eyes But moonshine made her cry ev'ry time Green is the colour of her kind Quickness of the eye decieves the mind Envy is the bond between The hopeful and the damnedThe Gunner's Dream
Floating down through the clouds Memories come rushing up to meet me now In the space between the heavens And the corner of some foreign field I had a dream I had a dream Goodbye Max Goodbye Ma After the service when you're walking slowly to the car And the silver in her hair shines in the cold november air You here the tolling bell And touch the silk in your lapel And as the teardrops rise to meet the comfort of the band You take her frail hand And hold on to the dream A place to stay Enough to eat Somwhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street Where you can speak out loud About your doubts and fears And what's more no one ever dissappears You never hear a standard issue kicking in your door You can relax on both sides of the tracks And maniacs don't blow holes in bandsmen by remote control And everyone has recourse to the law And no-one kills the children anymore And no-one kills the children anymore Night after night Going round and round my brain His dream is driving me insane In the corner of some foreign field The gunner sleeps tonight What's done is done We cannot write off his final scene Take heed of his dream Take heed
