• Day after day, love turns grey
  Like the skin of a dying man.
  Night after night, we pretend its all right

  I feel cold as a razor blade,
  Tight as a tourniquet,
  Dry as a funeral drum.
  • One of My Turns

• Hey you, out there on your own
  Sitting naked by the phone
  Would you touch me?

  Open your heart, I'm coming home.

• But it was only fantasy.
  The wall was too high,
  As you can see.
  No matter how he tried,
  He could not break free.
  And the worms ate into his brain.
  • Hey You

• There is no pain you are receding
  A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
  You are only coming through in waves.
  Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.
  When I was a child I had a fever
  My hands felt just like two balloons.
  Now I've got that feeling once again
  I can't explain you would not understand
  This is not how I am.
  I have become comfortably numb.
  • Comfortably Numb, written by Roger Waters, David Gilmour

  Showing feelings of an almost human nature;

• Since, my friend, you have revealed your

  Your peers.

The Final Cut (1983)

All songs written by Roger Waters

• Tell me true tell me why was Jesus crucified?
  Is it for this that Daddy died?
  Was it for you? Was it me?
  Did i watch too much t.v.?
  Is that a hint of accusation in your eyes?
  • The Post War Dream

• A place to stay
  Enough to eat
  Somewhere 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 disappears
  You never hear their 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.
  • The Gunner's Dream

• Button your lip
  And don't let the shield slip.
  Take a fresh grip on your bulletproof mask.
  And if they try to break down your disguise with their questions
  You can hide, hide, hide
  Behind paranoid eyes.
  
  You put on your brave face and slip over the road for a jar
  Fixing your grin as you casually lean on the bar
  Laughing too loud at the rest of the world
  With the boys in the crowd
  You can hide, hide, hide
  {"I'll tell you what, mate, I'll give you three blacks, and play you for five, alright?"}
  Behind petrified eyes
  
  You believed in their stories of fame, fortune and glory
  Now you're lost in a haze of alcohol-soft middle age
  The pie in the sky turned out to be miles too high
  And you hide, hide, hide
  Behind brown and mild eyes.

A Momentary Lapse of Reason (1987)

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

• A restless eye across a weary room
  A glazed look and I was on the road to ruin

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

The Division Bell (1994)

  I was thinking all about her, burning with rage and desire
  We were spinning into darkness; the earth was on fire.
  • Take It Back, written by David Gilmour, Bob Ezrin, Polly Samson, Nick Laird-Clowes
