Astronomy Domine (Barrett)

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, Titania,

Neptune titan stars can frighten

Blinding signs flat flicka flicka flicka blam pow

Stairway, scale down, dare whose lair

Lime and limpid green, the sound surrounds the icy waters underground

Lime and limpid green, the sound surrounds the icy waters underground

 

 

 

 

Careful With That Axe, Eugene (Mason, Gilmour, Waters, Wright)

Careful with that axe, Eugene

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh ! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh !

 

 

 

 

Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun (Waters)

Little by little the night turns around

Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn

Novices lean on each other in yearning

Under the leaves the swallow is resting

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 ripen's the wine

Set the controls for 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 question to heaven

Whether the sun will fall in the evening

Will he remember the lesson of giving

Set the controls for the heart of the sun

The heart of the sun

The heart of the sun

 

 

 

 

Grantchester Meadows (Waters)

Icy wind of night, be gome.

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 harken 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 harken 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 harken 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.

 

 

 

 

The Narrow Way (Gilmour)

Following the path as it leads towards the Darkness in the North

Weary strangers' faces show their sympathy

They've seen that hope before

And if you want to stay for a little bit

Rest your aching limbs for a little bit

Before you the night is beckoning

And you know you can't delay

You hear the night birds calling you

But you can't touch the restless sky

Close your aching eyes beyond your name

Mist is swelling, creatures crawling,

Hear the roar get louder in your ears

You know the folly was your own

But the force behind can't conquer all your fears

And if you want to stay for a little bit

Rest your aching limbs for a little bit

Before you the night is beckoning

And you know you can't delay

You hear the night birds calling you

But you can't touch the restless sky

Close your aching eyes beyond your name

Throw your thoughts back many years

To the time when there was life in every morning

Perhaps a day will come

When the nights will be as on that morning

And if you want to stay for a little bit

Rest your aching limbs for a little bit

Before you the night is beckoning

And you know you can't delay

You hear the night birds calling you

But you can't touch the restless sky

Close your aching eyes beyond your name

Rest your weary head, be on your way.
