Us and Them
(Waters, Wright)

Us, and them
And after all we're only ordinary men.
Me, and you.
God only knows it's not what we would 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
And who knows which is which and who is who.
Up and down.
But in the end it's only 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.

"I mean, they're not gunna kill ya, so if you give 'em a quick short,
sharp, shock, they won't do it again. Dig it? I mean he get off
lightly, 'cos I would've given him a thrashing - I only hit him once!
It was only a difference of opinion, but really...I mean good manners don't cost nothing do they, eh?"

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

Mi �s �k

(Waters, Wright)

 

Mi �s �k

�s v�g�l is mi csak egyszer� emberek vagyunk.

�n �s te

Isten tudja csak, mi nem ezt v�lasztan�nk.

El�re, ki�ltotta a h�tv�db�l,

�s az els� sor meghalt.

�s a t�bornok �lt, �s a vonalak a t�rk�pen

Ide-oda mozogtak.

K�k-z�ld

�s ki tudja, melyik melyik, �s ki kicsoda

Fel �s le

De v�g�l is csak k�rbe-k�rbe

Nem hallottad? Ez egy sz�csata,

Ki�ltotta a rikkancs.

Figyelj, fiam, mondta az ember a pusk�val,

Van sz�modra hely idebent.

 

„M�rmint, nem fognak meg�lni, sz�val ha adsz nekik egy r�vid, �les kis sokkot, nem csin�lj�k majd �jra. V�god? �gy �rtem, k�nnyen od�bb�llt, mert j�l elvertem volna - csak egyszer �t�ttem meg! Csak n�zetk�l�nbs�g volt, de komolyan… a j� modor nem ker�l semmibe, h�t nem?”

 

Lecs�szva

Nem lehet seg�teni rajta, de sok van itt bel�le.

Vele, n�lk�le

�s ki tagadn�, hogy az eg�sz harc err�l sz�l?

F�lre az �tb�l, z�r�s ez a nap,

Sok dolog j�r a fejemben.

A tea �s egy szelet �r�nak hi�ny�ban

Az �regember meghalt.
