3. Young Lust

I am just a new boy
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 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

Ooh, I need a dirty woman
Ooh, I need a dirty girl

Hello?
Yes, a collect call for Mrs. Floyd from Mister 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

1. Goodbye blue sky

Look mummy, there’s an aeroplane up in the sky

Ooh
Did you see the frightened ones?
Did you hear the falling bombs?
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?

Ooh
Did you see the frightened ones?
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

The eleven fifteen from Newcastle is now approaching
The eleven eighteen arrival

6. 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, ah
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 mine?
Ooh ah,
Is it just a waste of time?

Hush now baby, baby, don’t you cry.
Mama’s gonna make all your nightmares come true.
Mama’s gonna put all 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 baby, ooh baby, ooh baby,
Of course mama’s gonna help build the wall.

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 ah,
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 baby, ooh baby, ooh baby,
You’ll always be baby to me.

Mother, did it need to be so high?

5. Another Brick in the Wall (Part II)

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, teachers, 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 wall

We don’t need no education
We don’t need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave those kids alone
Hey teachers, leave those kids alone
All in all you’re just another brick in the wall
All in all you’re just another brick in the wall

«Wrong, do it again! 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 bike sheds, stand still, laddy»

4. 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 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

2. 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
Oh baby
Oh baby blue
Oh babe

If 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

1. 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 want to find out what’s behind these cold eyes
You’ll just have to claw your way through this disguise

Lights, turn on the sound effects, action
Drop it, drop it on ‘em, drop it on them

The Wall

Con los acordes de In the flesh damos comienzo a uno de los álbumes míticos de nuestra historia de la música. The Wall, de Pink Floyd, el úndecimo álbum de la banda y el segundo doble, compuesto por Roger Waters, vio la luz el 30 de noviembre en Reino Unido llevándose de forma inmediata el primer puesto en las listas de venta del país durante semanas.

El álbum se personaliza en forma de crítica con el personaje Pink, protagonista del álbum y antihéroe de su propia vida. La muerte de su padre en la Segunda Guerra Mundial («Another Brick in The Wall», partes 1 y 3) en una acción en la que los mandos británicos sacrificaron a muchos soldados, la sobreprotección materna («Mother»), la opresión de la educación británica («The Happiest Days of Our Lifes» y «Another Brick In The Wall Parte 2»), los fracasos sentimentales, su mundo de superestrella,… le llevan a construirse un muro en el que esconderse de la realidad.
