A letra:


Starlight falling through your hair
Sometimes I wonder if you know I'm there
Awake in the morning, a smile on your face
The same old feeling that I just can't place
And you say, "Don't cry, baby
You know I'll always be the one who cares
Don't cry, baby
Come closer, let me wipe away your tears"
A man came in with a violin
He played for me like I've never been
Courted before and forevermore
As the bow touched the strings
He made the whole world sing
Don't cry, baby
(Baby, don't you cry)
You know there'll always be someone who cares
Don't cry, baby
(Baby, don't you cry)
Closer let me wipe away your tears
I know I've been wrong
You've had to be strong
I guess I belong to you, my baby
(Baby, don't you cry)
You know I'll always be the one who cares
Don't cry baby
(Baby, don't you cry)
Closer let me wipe away your tears
The sound of your voice singing songs in the night
Have taken me far away and mystified
The songs of the lovers brought tears to my eyes
The words that you'd spoken made me realize

Of lovin'
And TV, yeah
And that's enough for a workin' man
What I am well that's what I am
I tell you, baby

Shivers up and down my spine
I was standin' in your garden
In the California pine

I was standing shivering
I've got the fever in the rain
But I can't come on back to see you
Again and again and again

I said I, I had to have you
Baby, I had to have you
Come rain, come rain or shine

It was a cold wind in August
Shivers up and down my spine
And I was standing in your garden
In the California pine
California pine

It was a cold wind in August
Shivers up and down my spine
I was standin' in your garden
In the California pine
In the California pine

It was a cold wind in August
I was pushed on through September
And I was pushin' through September
In the rain
Pushin' through, pushin' through September
In the rain

It was a cold wind in August
Shivers up and down my spine
I was standin', standin' in your garden
In the California pine

A letra:


Was a tight toy night, streets are bright
The world looked so thin between my bones and skin
There stood another person who was a little surprised
To be face to face with a world so alive
How I fell

Did ya feel low? No, not at all, Huh?
I fell right into the arms of Venus De Milo

You know it's all like some new kind of drug
My senses are sharp and my hands are like gloves
Broadway looked so medieval
It seemed to flap, like little pages
And I fell sideways laughing with a friend from many stages
How we felt

Did ya feel low? No, not at all, Huh?
I fell right into the arms of Venus De Milo

Suddenly my eyes were so soft and shaky
I knew there was pain but pain is not aching
Then Richie, Richie said
"Hey man let's dress up like cops
Think of what we could do!"
But something, something said "you better not"
And I fell

Did ya feel low? No, not at all, Huh?
I stood up, walked out of the Arms of Venus de Milo

Alone in the shadows, of a willow tree

I watched from the dark

As you crossed through the park

Coming closer to me

Those brief moments return of the day we first met

The time we shared with that special care

Free from all jealousy

There must be a distant place

Far from every wrong face

Tears won't fall by chance

On this sweet romance ...

Where the light of the moon, and the lay of the land

Brightened the way of so many nights

Helping us understand

The line that we crossed, to climb those hills

Gave us the strength to never fear

The hurting talk folks want to hear

There must be a different place

Far from every wrong face

Tears won't fall by chance

On this sweet romance ...

When they hear, of our last goodbye

They'll have to seek another dream to surprise

With desperate lies

As we parade, far from these streets

We'll be side by side, livin life in pride

With love's lullabye

There must be a distant place

Far from every wrong face

Tears won't fall by chance

On this sweet romance ...

A letra:


Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
To live

They got little hands
And little eyes
And they walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet

Well, I don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
'Round here

Short people are just the same
As you and I
(A fool such as I)
All men are brothers
Until the day they die
(It's a wonderful world)

Short people got nobody
Short people got nobody
Short people got nobody
To love

They got little baby legs
And they stand so low
You got to pick 'em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That got beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin' peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
They're gonna get you every time

Well, I don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
Don't want no short people
'Round here

A letra:


Another party's over
And I'm left cold sober
My baby left me for somebody new

I don't wanna talk about it
Want to forget about it
Wanna be intoxicated with that special brew

Come and get me
Let me
Get in that sinking feeling
That says my heart is on an all-time low

So, don't expect me
To behave perfectly
And wear that sunny smile
My guess is I'm in for a cloudy and overcast

Don't try and stop me
'Cause I'm heading for that stormy weather soon

I'm causing a mild sensation
With this new occupation
I'm permanently glued
With this extraordinary mood

So, now move over
Let me take over
With my melancholy blues

I'm causing a mild sensation
With this new occupation
I'm in the news
I'm just getting used
To my new exposure

Come into my enclosure
And meet my... ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

1765 – Pink Floyd – Dogs (1977)


Escrita por Roger Waters e David Gilmour, foi gravada entre abril e novembro de 1976 e lançada em 23 de janeiro de 1977, no disco Animals, o décimo disco da banda. Foi produzida pela própria banda. Foi escrita ainda em 1974 pro disco Wish you were here, mas teve a letra modificada e foi lançada no Animals, sendo preterida do Wish you were here. É a única canção do disco que Gilmour canta e recebe crédito de composição. É também a última contribuição vocal de Richard Wright, antes dele deixar a banda em 1979. É baseada no conceito de George Orwell de comportamento humano baseado nos animais, Dogs fala de um homem de negócios sem escrúpulos. Um sujeito que se veste bem, aperta mão firme, mas que no fundo é um caçador implacável. David Gilmour cantou a primeira parte, tocou violão e guitarra. Roger tocou baixo, cantou a segunda parte e fez harmonias vocais na segunda parte e tocou vocoder. Richard Wright tocou piano elétrico Fender Rhodes, órgão Hammond, Minimoog e fez harmonias vocais na primeira parte. Nick Mason tocou bateria e percussão.


A letra:


You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need
You gotta sleep on your toes, and when you're on the street
You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed
And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight
You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking

And after a while, you can work on points for style
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to
So that when they turn their backs on you,
You'll get the chance to put the knife in

You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder
You know it's going to get harder, and harder, and harder as you get older
And in the end you'll pack up and fly down south
Hide your head in the sand,
Just another sad old man
All alone and dying of cancer

And when you loose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone
And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around
So have a good drown, as you go down, all alone
Dragged down by the stone (stone, stone, stone, stone, stone)

I gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused
Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used
Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise
If I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of this maze?

Deaf, dumb, and blind, you just keep on pretending
That everyone's expendable and no-one has a real friend
And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner
And everything's done under the sun
And you believe at heart, everyone's a killer

Who was born in a house full of pain
Who was trained not to spit in the fan
Who was told what to do by the man
Who was broken by trained personnel

Who was fitted with collar and chain
Who was given a pat on the back
Who was breaking away from the pack
Who was only a stranger at home

Who was ground down in the end
Who was found dead on the phone
Who was dragged down by the stone

A letra:


The docks, the clocks
A whisper woke him up
The smell of water would resume

The cave, the waves
Of light, the unreal night
That flat curving of a room, it gets funny

Prove it
Just the facts
The confidential

Ah, this case, this case
This case that I have been working on so long
So long

First, you creep, then, you leap
Up about a hundred feet
You're in so deep that you could write a book
Chirp-chirp, the birds
They're giving you the words
The world is just a feeling you undertook

Prove it
Just the facts
The confidential

Ah, this case, this case
This case that I have been working on so long
So long

Now, the rose, how it slows
You in such colourless clothes
Fantastic, you lose your sense of human
Project, protect
It's warm, and it's calm, and it's perfect
It's too too-too to put a finger on

Prove it
Ah, just the facts
Oh, the confidential

Ah, this case, this case
This case that I have been working on so long
So long

This case is closed

A letra:


Once upon a time, everything I thought
of somehow seemed to rhyme
The wise were always old
And the young were always showed

But very early on,
I was spun a different yarn
Tried to get along
Just by knowing right from wrong

The best offer is a helping hand
Everyone needs the promised land
And whether you're young or old
Never ever let yourself get put on hold

I would sit on grandpas's knee
just to wear his hat
and listen to the tales
from his world of make believe

As the child comes of age
leave him alone to turn the page
Luck is the spine
A broken promise of another's mind

Straight goods really are
what money cannot buy
Choose your side and walk with pride
There's no reward for suicide

In a hard town by the sea

Ain't nowhere to run to
There ain't nothin' here for free

Waiting for a train

Drunk, lying on the sidewalk
Sleeping in the rain

And the people hide their faces
And they hide their eyes

'Cause the city's dyin'
And they don't know why

Oh, Baltimore
Ain't it hard just to live?
Oh, Baltimore
Ain't it hard just to live?
Just to live

Get my sister Sandy
And my little brother Ray

Buy a big old wagon
To haul us all away

Live out in the country
Where the mountain's high

Never gonna come back here
'Til the day I die

Oh, Baltimore
Ain't it hard just to live?

Oh, Baltimore
Ain't it hard just to live?
Just to live

Big man, pig man
Ha, ha, charade you are
You well heeled big wheel
Ha, ha, charade you are
And when your hand is on your heart
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost a joker
With your head down in the pig bin
Saying 'Keep on digging'
Pig stain on your fat chin
What do you hope to find
Down in the pig mine?
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry


Bus stop rat bag
Ha, ha, charade you are
You fucked up old hag
Ha, ha, charade you are
You radiate cold shafts of broken glass
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost worth a quick grin
You like the feel of steel
You're hot stuff with a hatpin
And good fun with a hand gun
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry


Hey you, Whitehouse
Ha, ha, charade you are
You house proud town mouse
Ha, ha, charade you are
You're trying to keep our feelings off the street
You're nearly a real treat
All tight lips and cold feet
And do you feel abused?
You got to stem the evil tide
And keep it all on the inside
Mary you're nearly a treat
Mary you're nearly a treat
But you're really a cry
