So ya
Thought ya
Might like to
Go to the show.
To feel that warm thrill of invention,
That newbie-baker glow.
I've got some bad news for you sunshine,
Bucky Fuller isn't well, he stayed back in July '83,
But they sent us along to keep comp'ny with thee,
Now you're gonna find out 'bout the real 'baker-ee.

Are there any schoolkids in the 'bakery tonight?
Get them up against the wall!
There's one postin' bad science that don't look right to me,
Get him up against the wall!
That one's writing rubbish,
And that one's a loon!
Who let in all this riff-raff? This ain't no chatroom!
There's one labouring a point,
And that one eats snot!
If I had my way,
I'd have all of you shot!

The original lyrics (part II) http://www.pink-flo...-2-wall-lyrics.html
The song is redone 2/3rds through the album, and it's this second (more sadistic) version that you are (ab)using, [UnaBubba]. + [daseva, Oct 13 2008]

       Watch out, there's a Gerald Scarfe version of [UB] on the rampage - and he's even madder than the normal [UB]!

       The horror, the horror ..... [+]

       Hmm, I was singing it to the Village People's In The Navy until I reached the bottom. I mean, came to the end, I mean, took it in whole.

       That's correct, daseva]. It's darker and more unsettling than the first verse. I've liked it for many years. In fact, it epitomises Pink Floyd for me.
UnaBubba, Oct 16 2008
  

       //first verse// I think they're different songs (though obviously the same tune) - the first (track one) is a question. </pedant* mode>


* pedant == sad Floyd anorak.

       Pink Floyd played my aunt's 21st birthday party - apparently they were very loud.

       [Grayure]'s grandfather once insisted on accompanying the heartbeat on Dark Side Of The Moon with maracas. As a moody and over-serious teenager, she was not amused.
