"THE EVIDENCE! BEFORE THE COURT IS! INCONTROVERTIBLE! There's no need for the jury to RETIRE! In all my years of judging, I have never heard before! Of someone more deserving of the full penalty of law! THE WAY youmade them SUFFER, your exquisite wife and mother Fills me with the URGE to DEFECATE! (Go on, Judge, shit on him!) SINCE! my friend! you have revealed your deepest fear, I sentence you to be EXPOSED BEFORE YOUR PEERS! TEAR DOWN THE WAAAAALLL!!!!"

"All alone, or in twos, The ones who really love you Walk up and down, outside the wall. Some hand in hand, And some gathered together in bands, The bleeding hearts and the artists make their stand. And when they've given you their all, Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy Banging your heart against some mad bugger's wall."

"Tell me true tell me why was Jesus crucified? Is it for this that Daddy died? Was it for you? Was it me? Did i watch too much t.v.? Is that a hint of accusation in your eyes?"

"A place to stay Enough to eat Somewhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street Where you can speak out loud About your doubts and fears And what's more no-one ever disappears You never hear their standard issue kicking in your door. You can relax on both sides of the tracks And maniacs don't blow holes in bandsmen by remote control And everyone has recourse to the law And no one kills the children anymore."

"Button your lip And don't let the shield slip. Take a fresh grip on your bulletproof mask. And if they try to break down your disguise with their questions You can hide, hide, hide Behind paranoid eyes. You put on your brave face and slip over the road for a jar Fixing your grin as you casually lean on the bar Laughing too loud at the rest of the world With the boys in the crowd You can hide, hide, hide {"I'll tell you what, mate, I'll give you three blacks, and play you for five, alright?"} Behind petrified eyes You believed in their stories of fame, fortune and glory Now you're lost in a haze of alcohol-soft middle age The pie in the sky turned out to be miles too high And you hide, hide, hide Behind brown and mild eyes."

"Take all your overgrown infants away somewhere And build them a home, a little place of their own. The Fletcher Memorial Home for Incurable Tyrants and Kings."

"Fuck all that we've got to get on with these Gotta compete with the wily Japanese. There's too many home fires burning And not enough trees. So fuck all that We've go to get on with these."

"Not now John we've got to get on with the film show Hollywood waits at the end of the rainbow Who cares what it is about as long as the kids go."

"Into the distance, a ribbon of black Stretched to the point of no turning back A flight of fancy on a windswept field Standing alone my senses reeled A fatal attraction is holding me fast, How can I escape this irresistible grasp?Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit, I."

"Dogs of war and men of hate With no cause, we don't discriminate Discovery is to be disowned Our currency is flesh and bone Hell opened up and put on sale Gather 'round and haggle."

"A restless eye across a weary room A glazed look and I was on the road to ruin The music played and played as we whirled without end No hint, no word her honour to defend I will, I will she sighed to my request And then she tossed her mane while my resolve was put to the test."

"Don't accept that what's happening Is just a case of others' suffering Or you'll find that you're joining in The turning away."

"Her love rains down on me easy as the breeze I listen to her breathing it sounds like the waves on the sea I was thinking all about her, burning with rage and desire We were spinning into darkness; the earth was on fire."

"Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young In a world of magnets and miracles Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary The ringing of the division bell had begun."

"The influence that Floyd has had on bands that have come after is truly incredible. Whether psychedelic rock, progressive rock, alternative rock, and even some aspects of metal, Pink Floyd has been able to leave its mark with bands like Queensryche, Alice in Chains, Foo Fighters, and Pearl Jam."

"The Wall might be progressive rock’s White Album in the sense that different fans would disagree on which songs are sublime and which are second-tier."

"Well, there it is. I think you can pass your verdict as well as I can. My verdict is that it is a little bit of a regression to childhood, but after all, why not?"

"Whereas the guys in Led Zeppelin dressed like sex-hungry geishas, the members of Pink Floyd favored sweaters, blue jeans and sneakers; they looked like their mothers had dressed them. In Pink Floyd's Live at Pompeii DVD, which includes footage from the making of Dark Side of the Moon, the cameras ponderously linger on Pink Floyd eating lunch in the studio canteen during a break from recording sessions. It's entirely possible that this was the most interesting part of making one of the most popular classic-rock albums of all time. It's like Pink Floyd was trying to be as boring as possible while also being insanely popular."

"[Their lifestyle] is interchangeable with the president of just about any bank in England."
