CRUMBLING LAND (Gilmour, Waters,Wright, Mason)
In a while I’ll find the time to make the sunshine mine
In a smile I saw a single eagle in the sky
Wheeling, soaring, gliding by
On a hill there lived a man with many shining things
Shiny pool, a shiny car and shiny diamond rings
Wining, dining, shining king
And the eagle flies in clear blue skies
Breathing in the clear blue air
Back here on the ground another dealer coughs and dies
And fifty more come rolling off
The Ford production line
Then a man appearing like a mirage on the sand
In his hand, a moving picture of the crumbling land
Screaming, dealing, movie man
Here we go, hold your nose and see if something blows
Close your eyes, count to ten and see the sunrise rise
Climbing, high into the sky
By the ornamental lake, a diamond lies
Upon the finger of the king
On high the eagle spies the glitter of a gun
And wheeling in a climbing turn he flies into the sun
COUNTRY SONG (Gilmour, Waters,Wright, Mason)
He made his way to the border
In the shadow, under the trees
Down by a stream, in a hollow
Turn your head, feel the breeze
And the Red Queen was waiting for the news
For the White King to move
And the balance hung upon the head of one who tried
To stay within the shadows
And keep his undercover secret tight
They let him in by a backway
Into a chamber reserved for the Queen
She took the note that he gave her
Opened it slowly and started to read
Run to the treasury and bring me back some gold
Give it to the pawn who came, she cried
He says the White King thinks the game of chess is wrong
And all the courtiers crowded her
And this is what she told the gathered round
Go to the store by the dungeon
Take all the red paint, take all the white
Make up a newborn colour
Cover your neighbor, we'll be alright
There will be no game today, she cried across the board
Every day will be a holiday
And all the pieces cheered as tidings spread abroad
And the Pink Queen sat
And smiled at the cat, who smiled back
