Pink Floyd: The Wall (1982)

1. Christmas comes but once a year.

2. For every girl and boy.

3. The laughter and the joy.

4. They find in each new toy

5. I'll tell you of a little boy.

6. Who lives across the way.

7. This little fella's Christmas.

8. Is just another day.

9. It was just before dawn.

10. One miserable morning.

11. In black '44.

12. When the forward commander was told to sit tight.

13. When he asked that his men be withdrawn.

14. And the generals gave thanks.

15. As the other ranks.

16. Held back the enemy tanks.

17. For a while.

18. And the Anzio bridgehead.

19. Was held for the price.

20. Of a few hundred ordinary lives.

21. He's the little boy.

22. That Santa Claus forgot.

23. And Goodness knows.

24. He didn't want a lot.

25. He sent a note to Santa.

26. For some soldiers and a drum.

27. It broke his little heart.

28. When he found Santa hadn't come.

29. In the street he envies.

30. All those lucky boys.

31. So ya thought ya.

32. Might like to.

33. Go to the show.

34. To feel the warm thrill of confusion.

35. That space cadet glow.

36. Tell me, is something eluding you, sunshine.

37. Is this not what you expected to see.

38. If you wanna find out what's behind these cold eyes.

39. You'll just have to claw your way through this disguise.

40. Mama loves her baby.

41. And Daddy loves you too.

42. And the sea may look warm to you, babe.

43. And the sky may look blue.

44. Ooh, ooh, ooh.

45. Ooh, babe.

46. Ooh, ooh, ooh.

47. Baby blue.

48. Ooh, ooh, ooh.

49. Ooh, ooh, babe.

50. If you should go skating.

51. On the thin ice of modern life.

52. Dragging behind you.

53. The silent reproach.

54. Of a million tear-stained eyes.

55. Don't be surprised.

56. When a crack in the ice.

57. Appears under your feet.

58. You slip out of your depth and out of your mind.

59. With you fear flowing out behind you.

60. As you claw the thin ice.

61. Daddy's flown across the ocean.

62. Leaving just a memory.

63. A snapshot in the family album.

64. Daddy, what else did you leave for me.

65. Daddy, what'd ya leave behind for me.

66. All in all it was.

67. Just a brick in the wall.

68. All in all it was all just bricks in the wall.

69. Easy. Be careful.

70. - What? - Will you put me on there?

71. - Well, where's your mother, then? - She's gone to the shops.

72. Yes, all right.

73. How's that then? Enjoying it?

74. Lovely, lovely.

75. Now off you go. Go on.

76. Now what have I told you about this? What have I told you?

77. Go on, go on now. Sling your hook. Go on. Sling your hook.

78. And kind old King George.

79. Sent Mother a note.

80. When he heard that Father was gone.

81. It was, I recall.

82. In the form of a scroll.

83. Gold leaf and all.

84. And I found it one day.

85. In a drawer of old photographs.

86. Hidden away.

87. And my eyes still grow damp to remember.

88. His Majesty signed.

89. With his own rubber stamp.

90. It was dark all around.

91. There was frost in the ground.

92. When the tigers broke free.

93. And no one survived.

94. From the Royal Fusiliers Company C.

95. They were all left behind.

96. Most of them dead.

97. The rest of them dying.

98. And that's how the high command.

99. Took my daddy from me.

100. Did you see the frightened ones.

101. Did you hear the falling bombs.

102. Did you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter.

103. When the promise of a brave new world unfurled beneath the clear blue sky.

104. Did you see the frightened ones.

105. Did you hear the falling bombs.

106. The flames are all long gone but the pain lingers on.

107. Good-bye.

108. Blue sky.

109. Good-bye, blue sky.

110. Good-bye.

111. Good-bye.

112. Wait for me, Pinky, you rotten bleeder.

113. - They're my bullets, ain't they? - I don't know.

114. Come on, Tubs. It's great down in the tunnel.

115. Don't you think it'd be dangerous, Pinky?

116. No. Don't be daft.

117. - You all right, Tubs? - Yeah. Hurt me knee a bit.

118. - Come on. - Na. It's too dangerous.

119. - We'll wait for the train. - Give me the torch.

120. Pinky! Here comes the train!

121. Get off the line, you bloody idiot! Here it comes!

122. Pinky, get off the line! Here it comes!

123. Pinky, get off the line!

124. You!

125. You! Yes, you!

126. Stand still, laddie!

127. When we grew up and went to school.

128. There were certain teachers who would hurt the children anyway they could.

129. By pouring their derision upon anything we did.

130. Exposing every weakness.

131. However carefully hidden by the kids.

132. What have we here, laddie?

133. Mysterious scribblings? A secret code?

134. No. Poems, no less.

135. Poems, everybody!

136. The lad here reckons himself a poet.

137. "Money, get back. I'm all right, Jack.

138. Keep your hands off my stack.

139. New car, caviar, four-star daydream.

140. Think I'll buy me a football team."

141. Absolute rubbish, laddie!

142. Get on with your work.

143. Repeat after me:

144. An acre is the area of a rectangle...

145. whose length is one furlong...

146. and whose width is one chain.

147. But in this town it was well known.

148. When they got home at night their fat and psychopathic wives.

149. Would thrash them within inches of their lives.

150. We don't need no education.

151. We don't need no thought control.

152. No dark sarcasm in the classroom.

153. Teacher, leave them kids alone.

154. Hey, teacher, leave them kids alone.

155. All in all it's just another brick in the wall.

156. Wrong! Do it again!

157. All in all you're just another brick in the wall.

158. We don't need no education.

159. If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding!

160. We don't need no thought control.

161. How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?

162. No dark sarcasm in the classroom.

163. You! Yes, you, laddie!

164. Poems, everybody. The lad here reckons himself a poet.

165. Teachers, leave them kids alone.

166. Hey, teacher, leave those kids alone.
