Pink Floyd: Another brick in the wall.

Ah, this song brings me a lot of souvenirs. I was lucky enough in 1988 to be able to see it live in Lyon. It was a blessing, the stage was made by a team from Hollywood!! And the clouds of herb smoke around me was unforgettable :-))) This song is all about control.

(The following video is for Part II of the song)



Daddy's flown across the ocean
Leaving just a memory
Snapshot in the family album
Daddy what else did you leave for me?
Daddy, what'd'ja leave behind for me?!?
All in all it was just a brick in the wall.
All in all it was all just bricks in the wall.

"You! Yes, you! Stand still laddy!"

We dont need no education.
We dont need no thought control.
No dark sarcasm in the classroom.
Teacher, leave those kids alone.
Hey, teacher, leave those kids alone!
All in all its just another brick in the wall.
All in all youre just another brick in the wall.

"Wrong, Do it again!"
"If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding. How can you
have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat?"
"You! Yes, you behind the bikesheds, stand still laddy!"

Pink Floyd: Money

Here is another magic band, Pink Floyd. A group known for their far fetched lyrics. Founded in 1965, with the magical Syd Barrett who left the group later, and was reported mentally ill. With him were Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Rick Right. This classic rock band has the record of the most sold album “The Dark side of the moon” with 741 weeks on the top 200 and 40 millions album sold. The album paints a picture of the world materialism, inhumanity, fast pace of life and armed conflicts, and this was in 1973!!!

This is one the Album's song: “Money” written by Roger Waters.



Money, get away.
Get a good job with good 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.

"HuHuh! I was in the right!"
"Yes, absolutely in the right!"
"I certainly was in the right!"
"You was definitely in the right. That geezer was cruising for a
bruising!"
"Yeah!"
"Why does anyone do anything?"
"I don't know, I was really drunk at the time!"
"I was just telling him, he couldn't get into number 2. He was asking
why he wasn't coming up on freely, after I was yelling and
screaming and telling him why he wasn't coming up on freely.
It came as a heavy blow, but we sorted the matter out"
