Us (us us us us) and Them (them them them them)

[BigMcLargehuge]

Us and Them
(Waters, Wright) 7:40

Us, and them
And after all we're only ordinary men.
Me, and you.
God only knows it's noz 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.

"I mean, they're not gunna kill ya, so if you give 'em a quick short,
sharp, shock, they won't do it again. Dig it? I mean he get off
lightly, 'cos I would've given him a thrashing - I only hit him once!
It was only a difference of opinion, but really...I mean good manners
don't cost nothing do they, eh?"

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.

8. (squeak)

Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving With a Pict (Waters) 5:01

Aye an' a bit of Mackeral settler rack and ruin
ran it doon by the haim, 'ma place
well I slapped me and I slapped it doon in the side
and I cried, cried, cried.

The fear a fallen down taken never back the raize and then Craig Marion,
get out wi' ye Claymore out mi pocket a' ran doon, doon the middin stain
picking the fiery horde that was fallen around ma feet.
Never he cried, never shall it ye get me alive
ye rotten hound of the burnie crew. Well I snatched fer the blade O my
Claymore cut and thrust and I fell doon before him round his feet.

Aye! A roar he cried frae the bottom of his heart that I would nay fall
but as dead, dead as 'a can be by his feet; de ya ken?

...and the wind cried Mary.

Thank you.

3. That may be the worst Floyd song ever.

And I'm including the post-Waters detritus.

[BigMcLargehuge]

6. That's my least favorite of their albums

but that song seemed fitting considering the rift in the democratic party today.

:shrug:

Perhaps I should have posted the lyrics to "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together and Grooving with a Pict"?

11. Sheep

Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland away
Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air
You'd better watch out!
There may be dogs about!
I've looked over Jordan and I have seen
Things are not what they seem

What do you get for pretending the danger's not real?
Meek and obidient, you follow the leader down well-trodden corridors
into the valley of steel
What a surprise!
A look of terminal shock in your eyes
Now things are really what they seem
No, this is no bad dream

The lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He makes me down to lie
Through pastures green he leadeth me the silent waters by
With bright knives he releaseth my soul
He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places
He converteth me to lamb cutlets
For lo, he hath great power and great hunger
When cometh the day we lowly ones
through quiet reflection and great dedication
master the art of karate
Lo, we shall rise up
And then we'll make the buggers' eyes water

Bleating and babbling, we fell on his neck with a scream
Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity
into a dream
Have you heard the news?
The dogs are dead!
You'd better stay home and do as you're told
Get out of the road if you want to grow old

13. Animal crackers

brilliant!

On that note, I would like to recommend a couple of books to the room:

Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser.

Botany of Desire by Michael Pollan.

Of course, Orwell's Animal Farm is fun reading, too.

If just one of you lost souls reads one of these books, my life will have been worth living (lol).

G'night
