Disk One
Is There Anybody Out There? is an album released by Pink Floyd in 2000. It is a live rendition of The Wall, recorded by James Guthrie, with different songs taken from various performances from the years 1980 and 1981. Many of the performances were in Earls Court in London.
The shows actually involved the construction of a wall on stage, throughout the first half of the show. Once it was finished, members of the band performed in small openings in the wall, atop the wall, in front of the wall, or even behind the wall.
The album artwork featured the life-masks of the four members of Pink Floyd at the time, which were worn by the “surrogate band” during the songs “In the Flesh?” and “In the Flesh”.
The following is from Disk One
MC: Atmos
Good evening. Good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to Earl’s Court. My name is Gary Yudman and we are going to have a great show this evening. The band is backstage and will be ready to go in just a few minutes. Before the show begins the house management would like to request just a few things. First, please no fireworks. Also, no flash cameras. And any unauthorized audio or video equipment found being used may be confiscated. So please save yourself a lot of hassle. Well I think the band is almost ready to go now! No, no. Not quite yet. One thing I would like to point out. Upon completion of the show tonight…
In the Flesh
So ya
Thought ya
Might like to
Go to the show
To feel the warm thrill of confusion
That space cadet glow
Tell me is something eluding you sunshine?
Is this not what you expected to see?
If you wanna find out what’s behind these cold eyes?
You’ll just have to claw your way through the disguise[Lights! Turn on the sound effects! Drop it on them! Drop it on them!]��
The Thin Ice
Momma loves her baby
And daddy loves you too
And the sea may look warm to you babe
And the sky may look blue
But ooh babe
Ooh baby blue
Ooh babeIf you should go skating
On the thin ice of modern life
Dragging behind you the silent reproach
Of a million tear-stained eyes
Don’t be surprised, when a crack in the ice
Appears under your feet
You slip out of your depth and out of your mind
With your fear flowing out behind you
As you claw the thin ice�
Another Brick in the Wall Pt 1
Daddy’s flown across the ocean
Leaving just a memory
A snapshot in the family album
Daddy what else did you leave for me?
Daddy what d’ya 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
The Happiest Days Of Our Lives
[You! Yes, you! Stand still laddy!]
When we grew up and went to school
There were certain teachers who would
Hurt the children in any way they could
By pouring their derision
Upon anything we did
Exposing every weakness
However carefully hidden by the kids
But in the town it was well known
When they got home at night
Their fat and psychopathic wives would thrash them
Within inches of their lives�
Another Brick in the Wall Pt 2
We don’t need no education
We don’t need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey teacher leave them kids alone
All in all it’s just another brick in the wall
All in all you’re just another brick in the wallWe don’t need no education
We don’t need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey teachers leave us kids alone
All in all it’s just another brick in the wall
All in all you’re 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!]
Mother
Mother do you think they’ll drop the bomb?
Mother do you think they’ll like this song?
Mother do you think they’ll try to break my balls?
Ooh mother should I build the wall?
Mother should I run for president?
Mother should I trust the government?
Mother will they put me in the firing line?
Ooh mother is it just a waste of time?
Hush now baby, baby, don’t you cry
Mama’s gonna make all of your nightmares come true
Mama’s gonna put all of her fears into you
Mama’s gonna keep you right here under her wing
She won’t let you fly but she might let you sing
Mama’s gonna keep baby cozy and warm
Ooh babe ooh baby ooh babe
Of course mama’s gonna help build the wall(Ooh babe ooh babe ooh)
Mother do you think she’s good enough for me?
Mother do you think she’s dangerous to me?
Mother will she tear your little boy apart?
Ooh mother will she break my heart?
Hush now baby, baby don’t you cry
Mama’s gonna check out all your girlfriends for you
Mama won’t let anyone dirty get through
Mama’s gonna wait up until you get in
Mama will always find out where you’ve been
Mama’s gonna keep baby healthy and clean
Ooh babe ooh baby ooh babe
You’ll always be a baby to meMother, did it need to be so high?
Goodbye Blue Sky
[Look mummy, there's an aeroplane up in the sky.]
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooh
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooh
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooh
Did did did did you see the frightened ones?
Did did did did you hear the falling bombs?
Did did did did you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter
When the promise of a brave new world unfurled beneath a clear blue sky?
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooh
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooh
Did did did did you see the frightened ones?
Did did did did you hear the falling bombs?
The flames are all long gone
But the pain lingers on
Goodbye blue sky
Goodbye blue sky
Goodbye
Goodbye��
Empty Spaces
What shall we use to fill the empty
Spaces where waves of hunger roar?
Shall we set out across this sea of faces
In search of more and more applause?
What Shall we do Now?
Shall we buy a new guitar?
Shall we drive a more powerful car?
Shall we work straight through the night?
Shall we get into fights
Leave the lights on
Drop bombs
Do tours of the east
Contract disease
Bury bones
Break up homes
Send flowers by phone
Take to drink
Go to shrinks
Give up meat
Rarely sleep
Keep people as pets
Train dogs
Race rats
Fill the attic with cash
Bury treasure
Store up leisure
But never relax at all?
With our backs to the wall
Back to the wall[Thank you! Good evening! Welcome!]�
Young Lust
[This is callded "Young Lust".]
I am just a new boy
A stranger in this town
Where are all the good times
Who’s gonna show this stranger around?
Ooh I need a dirty woman
Ooh I need a dirty girl
Will some cold woman in this desert land
Make me feel like a real man
Take this rock and roll refugee
Ooh baby set me free
Ooh I need a dirty woman
Ooh I need a dirty girl[Get down, Dave!]
Ooh I need a dirty woman
Ooh I need a dirty girl[Hello?
Yes, a collect call for Mrs. Floyd from Mr. Floyd. Will you accept the charges from United States?
Oh, He hung up! That's your residence, right? I wonder why he hung up? Is there supposed to be someone else there besides your wife there to answer?
Hello?
This is United States calling, are we reaching... See he keeps hanging up, and it's a man answering.]
One of my Turns
[Oh my God! What a fabulous room! Are all these your guitars? God! This place is bigger than our apartment! Uh, can I get a drink of water? You want some, huh? Oh wow, look at this tub? Do you wanna take a bath? What are you watching? Hello? Are you feeling okay?]
Day after day, love turns grey
Like the skin of a dying man
And night after night, we pretend it’s all right
But I have grown older and
You have grown colder and
Nothing is very much fun any more
And I can feel one of my turns coming on
I feel cold as a razor blade
Tight as a tourniquet
Dry as a funeral drumRun to the bedroom
In the suitcase on the left
You’ll find my favorite axe
Don’t look so frightened
This is just a passing phase
One of my bad days
Would you like to watch T.V.?
Or get between the sheets?
Or contemplate the silent freeway?
Would you like something to eat?
Would you like to learn to fly?
Would you like to see me try?Would you like to call the cops?
Do you think it’s time I stopped?
Why are you running away?
Don’t leave Me Now
Ooh babe
Don’t leave me now
Don’t say it’s the end of the road
Remember the flowers I sent
I need you babe
To put through the shredder
In front of my friends
Ooh babe
Don’t leave me now
How could you go?
When you know how I need you
To beat to a pulp on a Saturday night
Oh babe
Don’t leave me now
How can you treat me this way
Running away
Ooh babe
Why are you running away?
Ooh babe
Ooh babe
Ooh babe
Ooh ooo-ooo-ooh
Another Brick in the Wall Pt 3
I don’t need no arms around me
And I don’t need no drugs to calm me
I have seen the writing on the wall
Don’t think I need anything at all
No don’t think I’ll need anything at all
All in all it was all just bricks in the wall
All in all you were all just bricks in the wall�
The Last Few Bricks
Goodbye Cruel World
Goodbye cruel world
I’m leaving you today
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye all you people
There’s nothing you can say
To make me change my mind
Goodbye
