Darkside
07:28

The sand on the shore is gold dust to your eyes
The ocean's the sea of life.
A turtle's your chariot and time is your man,
Your eyes see the Darkside of the Moon
Don't listen to the angry clouds as thunder bursts your ears
Don't worry, remember the rain will come
To ease the throbbing of the years
So you can hide away your fears -
Don't worry!
Your eyes see the Darkside of the Moon,
Sitting alone, in the afternoon.
I want to tell you, my girl, what it's like
To live your life on the Darkside of the Moon
Alright

Maypole

The Elephants were dancing round a Maypole and a tree,
The dog in front loves the dog behind,
Just like you and me.
The English pub collapses, like a pack of English cards,
I thought we'd have to die of thirst,
Instead, we'll have to starve.
The Maypole turns into the joystick of an aeroplane.
The air is thin, you're wearing specs
You look like Michael Caine
But your hair is longer and I'm sure
Your legs aren't quite the same
And that's not saying much for the rest of you.

Live For Today
08:07
|
|||
A Ghostly finger points upon the time in which you stand.
If not for that the grass would grow alone, in fields of sand
Which melts from heat your body sends with love from you to me
And cries its tasteless tears for them and all the World to see.
The early evening Sun, with blood red light, sinks to the sea
In which life seeks to live in peace devoid of misery.
As stars ten billion miles away shine faintly in the sky.
They Live For Today, for tomorrow they die.
An ocean filled with water cannot know which way to turn.
Living life so endlessly, the Sun will only burn
And life will shrivel in belief that nothing can go wrong.
Live For Today and you will find -
Tomorrow will be gone.

I see hate floating down through the trees
Landing smack upon a raging sea.
Madmen down below get stuck in oil,
I'll move before my blood starts to boil
In case I see something I'll then regret
Everybody likes a little baby.
Don't you tell me now that that's a lie.
But what I don't understand is why
When that child grows up he's made to cry.
Couldn't they just sit and work it out now?
Words stream fast now that the plug has blown
Like a lava flow in every home.
Words of wisdom nowhere can they be seen.
All I want to do is wipe the slate clean.
They can't seem to grasp the mystic rights
That we're left, inherited each night.
On the pillow dance the ghosts of millions,
People that we thought long since departed.
Now, before my eyes, I see our deaths.

The Cat
05:19
|

I was sitting by your backdoor, heard your front door slam,
Waiting for you to call inside your cat.
I knew the scene you'd create would be one of havoc
But that was a chance I had to take.
Cos I can't live without you woman now.
I can't live without you girl, and how!
You open your backdoor, a tear on your face.
Your cat's disappeared without a trace.
You look at me with that smile of yours
And I look around with The Cat as my cause.
Cos I can't live without you woman now.
I can't live without you girl, and how!

Zero Time
06:48
|
|||
I feel a rush of air on my face and I know you've opened the door.
The wind comes screaming in as I lie, crawling around on the floor.
You leave me once again and now I have no one to live for.
I'm living in a Zero Time where life seems much too long to bear.
A day will come soon when they drop the night without a care.
A day that's five years long is more than I,
More than I think's fair.
You leave me in this Zero Time and you must know there's nothing worse.
Like Tutankhamen in his grave your image leaves me with your curse.
A life that's singles out from millions
Ends quickly in remorse.
