"WHEN ONE DOOR CLOSES, ANOTHER OPENS, BUT WE OFTEN LOOK SO LONG AND SO REGRETFULLY UPON THE CLOSED DOOR THAT WE DO NOT SEE THE ONE THAT HAS OPENED FOR US."

Brain Damage

The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path

The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more

And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

The lunatic is in my head.
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'til I'm sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head but it's not me

And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear.
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

"I can't think of anything to say except...
I think it's marvelous! HaHaHa!

The Book of Love

No, I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But it's the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes
Your sorrow shows, yes it shows

No, I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrows
When I had you there, but let go
Now it's only fair that I should
Let you know, what you should know

This love, the world of dreams
Just when I thought I was over you
And I just can't, go on without you
I've done to ease the pain inside
But only you can stop the rain

How I wish I was next to you tonight
I can wait forever if you'll be there
And the pain that living in your eyes
And if suddenly the moon's gone
Would you ever walk away and wave me

And when you are free, then suddenly
There's room for everyone, yes there is
I would rather hurt myself than make you cry
Nothing left to try, I just can't live a lie
And there's nothing left to say but goodbye

You would never ask me why my heart is so disguised
And I will never tell you everything of what I feel
But losing you is painful and who will love me now
Oh I need all the love that you once used to give me
Oh how much you've ever meant to my life, oh love..

Live the Life In the Shadow of the Sun

I remember the sun of our moment time
There's no such hard feeling and pain
The sun was bright and warmth
Feels like when you were born

The ray of the sun touching my face
I can feel the warmth a ray of love
Breathe and run to catch up with the sun but sinking
But the sun's still running on the horizon

The sun beats my face and it's killing me
The past is over and gone, forgive to forget
You know how deep our love could be
There's nothing left to say but goodbye

Now the sun's over
There's no more light
The air is colder
Feel the winter's here

Us and Them

Us, and them
And after all we're only ordinary men.
Me, and you
God only knows it's not what we would choose to do

Forward he cried from the rear
And the front rank died
And the general sat and the lines on the map
Moved from side to side

Black and blue
And who knows which is which and who is who.
Up and down
But in the end it's only round and round.
 
Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
The poster bearer cried
Listen son, said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside.

Down and out
It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about.
With, without.
And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about?

Out of the way, it's a busy day
I've got things on my mind.
For the want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died.

Money

Money, get away.
Get a good job with more pay and you're okay
Money, it's a gas.
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think I'll buy me a football team.

Money, get back
I'm all right Jack keep your hands off of my stack.
Money, it's a hit
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit
I'm in the high-fidelity first class traveling set
And I think I need a Lear jet

Money, it's a crime
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a raise it's no surprise
That they're giving none away.

Breathe (Reprise)

Home, home again
I like to be here, when I can
When I come home
Cold and tired
It's good to warm
My bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.
