Goodbye Blue Sky

Empty Spaces

Young Lust

One of My Turns

Don't Leave Me Now

Another Brick in the Wall Part 3

Goodbye Cruel World

Hey You

Is There Anybody Out There?

Nobody Home

Vera

Bring the Boys Back Home

Comfortably Numb

The Show Must Go On

In The Flesh

Run Like Hell

Waiting for the Worms

Stop

The Trial

Outside the Wall

"okay children, everyone learn to say the pledge of elegance
together. Then, let's all lock step to lunch, like good little soldiers.
Remember, your government is here to help you
and never wants to indoctrinate children into dying
for a military industrial machine."





Goodbye Blue Sky

(Waters) 2:48

"Look mummy, there's an aeroplane up in the sky"


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?

Did you see the frightened ones?


Did you hear the falling bombs?


The flames are all gone, but the pain lingers on.


Goodbye, blue sky


Goodbye, blue sky.


Goodbye.



Goodbye.


Goodbye.


Tell your Senators to support Senate Joint Resolution 36 to bring our combat troops home in 2006 before it is too late.

2. Beautiful and sad
Thank you. Was just watching "Comfortably Numb" concert video over on Crooks and Liars. Question about the "Kultur-Terror" image. Where is it from? I can't read the small sign at the bottom.

4. that is from the best commercial free music/ image site online
http://www.peace-not-war.org/Jukebox/index.html lots of high quality MP3 protest songs that load fast and great art. you can put YOUR songs there too:

The Peace Jukebox plays hours of anti-war music for free. Songs written during the Bush Presidency can be heard as high-quality MP3s, with lyrics, on this ad-free independent website. The Peace Jukebox features anti-war songs by Sonic Youth, Beastie Boys, Jurassic 5, Public Enemy, Jane's Addiction, The Cure, Ani DiFranco, Black Eyed Peas, Green Day, Faithless, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Lenny Kravitz, Paris, System of a Down, Propagandhi, Banco de Gaia, Zach de la Rocha, Noam Chomsky... hiphop, rock, punk, acoustic, classical and spoken word.

This is the most prolific period of protest song-writing in history, and home-studio technology makes it possible for the world to hear these radical songs. The Peace Not War Music Project has received over 500 anti-war songs from different kinds of musicians, and they will all be going online. Big apologies for all those musicians who have been waiting a long time for their song to get uploaded. We have only now managed to sort out the technical and funding problems, and put the Jukebox online, and there is only a small collective of volunteers running this project. Everyone's CDs and MP3s are safe, and will be uploaded as soon as possible.

Musicians are invited to submit their songs as MP3s (192kbps, best quality), with full lyrics and credit information included, by email to [email protected]. A translation facility is being developed for non-English speakers to read the lyrics in multiple languages (email us if you can help). We prefer that you also post your songs on a CD, with printed lyrics and credit information, to Peace Not War, Synergy Centre, 220 Farmers Rd, Camberwell, London SE5 0TW, UK. If you post your song, it will be included in the official library archive of anti-war songs, and it will be considered for inclusion in another CD (if we do another). Other content also needed: speeches (MP3), visual art (JPG), movies (MOV), contact information for peace groups.

12. That is a classic song,
and currently very popular at my daughter's high school, among the anti-war crowd. Yours truly is totally "cool" for owning the album.
