Tom Stoppard, Pink Floyd - The Great Gig in the Sky lyrics
[Tom Stoppard, Pink Floyd - The Great Gig in the Sky lyrics]
I'm not ready!
This is not a drill this is it
I need time to think
No you came in like a bird through
A window and out it's done
But I have to find the words
Hold a thought like holding a breath till you
Can't hold it anymore then hold it more
Till you think you're going to die and let it
Go a thought wave soundwaves of pure thought
I'm getting voices
Thought waves you can do that! Take a breath
Hold it
Of all the gin joints in all the towns
In all the world she walked into mine
You go girl
So woe to you oh woe to you and me
And woe to all of us
But we can save the Earth
From turning to dust
And bones Dust and bones from fire and flood
Look here's the thing here's what I'm saying
The Earth is the common
You can't save it for yourself but
You can save it for others
And the others will save it for you
The other is us and we are the other
We are of a kind
We are natural born to kindness
Which means to act as to our
Kind as kin to kin
As kindred which is to act kindly
What is the good?
It's nothing but a contest of kindness
To be unkind is against nature and
It makes us feel bad
To be selfish is against nature because
It is against our kindness
We are as natural born to unselfishness
As a mother to her baby
Her milk is the milk of
Human kin and kindness
But when we live for trickery and
Gain we turn against nature
And nature will turn against us
We will be lords of dust and bones
This is not a drill this is it
I need time to think
No you came in like a bird through
A window and out it's done
But I have to find the words
Hold a thought like holding a breath till you
Can't hold it anymore then hold it more
Till you think you're going to die and let it
Go a thought wave soundwaves of pure thought
I'm getting voices
Thought waves you can do that! Take a breath
Hold it
Of all the gin joints in all the towns
In all the world she walked into mine
You go girl
So woe to you oh woe to you and me
And woe to all of us
But we can save the Earth
From turning to dust
And bones Dust and bones from fire and flood
Look here's the thing here's what I'm saying
The Earth is the common
You can't save it for yourself but
You can save it for others
And the others will save it for you
The other is us and we are the other
We are of a kind
We are natural born to kindness
Which means to act as to our
Kind as kin to kin
As kindred which is to act kindly
What is the good?
It's nothing but a contest of kindness
To be unkind is against nature and
It makes us feel bad
To be selfish is against nature because
It is against our kindness
We are as natural born to unselfishness
As a mother to her baby
Her milk is the milk of
Human kin and kindness
But when we live for trickery and
Gain we turn against nature
And nature will turn against us
We will be lords of dust and bones
