Milestone album by Pink Floyd 1979.
Released, UK: November 30, 1979
Released, US: December 8, 1979

Still, The Wall was a mighty, sprawling affair, featuring 26 songs with vocals: nearly as many as all previous Floyd albums combined. The story revolves around the fictional Pink Floyd's isolation behind a psychological wall. The wall grows as various parts of his life spin out of control, and he grows incapable of dealing with his neuroses.

The lyrics for 'What Shall We Do Now?' was printed on the inner sleeve, but the song didn't make it to the album. Side 2 was too long and the song was dropped. If one more song should have been on the album it would have been necessary to comprise on the technical quality. 'Empty Spaces' was originally a short reprise of 'What Shall We Do Now?'.

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'd like to find out what's behind these cold eyes
you'll just have to claw your way through the disguise

Mama Loves her baby
and daddy loves you too
And the sea may look warm to you babe
and the sky may look blue
But ooooh babe
ooooh baby blue
ooooh 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 you depth and out of your mind
with your fear flowing out behind you
as you claw The Thin Ice

Daddy's flown across the ocean
leaving just a memory
A snapshot in the family album
Daddy what else did you leave for me
All in all it was just a brick in the wall
All in all it was all just bricks in the wall

When we grew up and went to school
there were certain teachers who would
hurt the children anyway they could
by pouring their derision
upon anything we did
and exposing any weakness
however carefully hidden by the kids
But in town it was well known
when they got home at night
their fat and psychopatic wives would thrash them
within inches of their lives

We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave the kids alone
Hey teacher leave us kids alone
All in all it was just another brick in the wall
All in all you're just another brick in the wall

Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb
Mother do you think they'll like the song
Mother do think they'll try to break my balls
Mother should I build a wall

Mother should I run for president
Mother should I trust the government
Mother will they put me in the firing line
Is it just a waste of
