Dark Side of the Moon (1973)














1.) Speak to Me/ Breathe


Breathe, Breathe in the air
Don't be afraid to care
Leave, but don't leave me
Look around and choose your own ground
For long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be

Run, rabbit run
Dig that hole, forget the sun
And when at last, the work is done
Don't sit down, it's time to start another one
For long you live and high you fly
But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race toward an early grave

2.) On the Run (Instrumental)


3.) Time

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your homeown
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then the one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is th same in the relative way, but you're older
And shorter of breath, and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught, or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation in the English way
The time is gone the song is over thought Id something more to say

Home, home again
I like to be there when i can
When I come in, cold and tired
I'd good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells

4.) The Great Gig in the Sky

"And I am not frightened of dying, anytime will do
I don't mind.
Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it
You've got to go sometime"

"I never said I was frightened of dying"

(Instrumental)

5.) Money

Money, get away
Get a good job with good pay, and you're ok
Money, it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four-star day dream
Think I'll buy me a football team

Money, get back
I'm alright Jack, keep your hands off my stack
Money, it's a hit
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit
I'm in the high-fidelity first class travelling section
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 rise it's no surprise
That they're giving none away

6.) Us and Them

Us....and them
And after all, we're only ordinary men
Me...and you
God only knows, it's not what we 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
But no one knows which is which and who is who
Up... and down
And in the end it's only round and 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

Down... and out
It can't be helped, but there's a lot of it about
With....without
And who'll deny that's what the fighting's all about
Get out of the way, it's a busy day
And I've got things on my mind
For want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died

7.) Any Colour You Like

(Instrumental)

8.) Brain Damage

The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path

The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more

And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'till I'm sane

You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head, but it's not me

And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

9.) Eclipse

All that you touch
And all that you see
All that you taste
All you feel
And all that you love
And all that you hate
All you distrust
All you save
And all that you give
And all that you deal
All that you buy
Beg, Borrow or steal
And all you create
And all you destroy
And all that you do
And all that you say
And all that you eat
And everyone you meet
And all that you slight
And everyone you fight
And all that is now
And all that is gone
And all that's to come
And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon.
Dark Side of the Moon (1973)
...:::But the sun is eclipsed by the moon:::...
Wizard of Oz...

Well...in case you haven't heard about the DSOTM/ Wizard of Oz synchronization...here is. Get out your Wizard of Oz tape and your Dark Side of the Moon cd...Play the tape, and precisely when the MGM lion finishes itsTHIRD roar..start the cd. Turn down the volume on the TV, turn the stereo volume up, and turn the lights off. Watch the movie with the music and you will find some very interesting coincidences (or are they?).

Make sure you listen to the words in the music...they play strange coincidences on your movie experience.

I personally think that the best 2 parts in the entire movie are: The tornado scene...while "The Great Gig in the Sky" is playing..the whole thing is so unreal....and secondly when Dorothy comes out of the house and everything switched from black and white to color, the synchronized cash register sounds begin the song "Money".

Some people think that if you play the cd a second and even third time, it stays synchronized with the movie. Try it and see what you think.
