Non-Amma: Us and Them - Pink Floyd song lyrics.

[Guest guest]

In keeping with my current mood, here is a song that I really loved from

my impressionable teen years (as opposed to my current impressionable

adult years) ... from those times when rock was what I breathed and kept

me alive to finish my studies!

 

 

 

Us, us,us,us, us, us, us, and them

And after all were only ordinary men.

Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, and you.

God only knows its 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,black,black,black,black,black,black, and blue

And who knows which is which and who is who.

Up and down.

But in the end its only round and round. (this line is very

cool - Manoj)

" Havent you heard its a battle of words? "

The poster bearer cried.

" Listen son " , said the man with the gun

" Theres room for you inside. "

 

I mean, theyre not gunna kill ya, so if you give em a quick short,

Sharp, shock, they wont do it again. dig it? I mean he get off

Lightly, cos I wouldve given him a thrashing - I only hit him once!

It was only a difference of opinion, but really...i mean good manners

Dont cost nothing do they, eh?

 

Down and out

It cant be helped but theres a lot of it about.

With, without.

And who'll deny its what the fighting's all about?

Out of the way, its a busy day

Ive got things on my mind.

For the want of the price of tea and a slice

The old man died.
