2. IF

(Waters)
        If I were a swan, I'd be gone.
        If I were a train, I'd be late.
        And if I were a good man,
        I'd talk with you
        More often than I do.

        If I were to sleep, I could dream.
        If I were afraid, I could hide.
        If I go insane, please don't put
        Your wires in my brain.

        If I were the moon, I'd be cool.
        If I were a book, I would bend for you.
        If I were a good man, I'd understand
        The spaces between friends.

        If I were alone, I would cry.
        And if I were with you, I'd be home and dry.
        And if I go insane,
        And they lock me away,
        Will you still let me join in the game?

        If I were a swan, I'd be gone.
        If I were a train, I'd be late again.
        If I were a good man,
        I'd talk with you
        More often than I do.

3. SUMMER '68

(Wright)
        Would you like to say something before you leave
        Perhaps you'd care to state exactly how you feel
        We said goodbye before we said hello
        I hardly even like you, I shouldn't care at all
        We met just six hours ago, the music was too loud
        From your bed I gained a day and lost a bloody year
        And I would like to know
        How do you feel, how do you feel, how do you feel?

        Not a single word was said, delights still without fears
        Occasinally you showed a smile but what was the need
        I felt the cold far too soon - the wind of '95
        My friends are lying in the sun, I wish that I was there
        Tomorrow brings another town and another girl like you
        Have you time before you leave to greet another man
        Just you let me know
        How do you feel, how do you feel, how do you feel?

        Goodbye to you
        Charlotte Kringles too
        I've had enough for one day

4. FAT OLD SUN

(Gilmour)
        When the fat old sun in the sky is falling
        Summer evenin' birds are calling
        Summer's thunder time of year
        The sound of music in my ears
        Distant bells, new mown grass
        Smells so sweet
        By the river holding hands
        Roll me up and lay me down
        And if you sit don't make a sound
        Pick your feet up off the ground
        And if you hear as the warm night falls
        The silver sound from a time so strange
        Sing to me, sing to me
        When that fat old sun in the sky is falling
        Summer evenin' birds are calling
        Children's laughter in my ears
        The last sunlight disappears
        And if you sit don't make a sound
        And if you hear as the warm night falls
        The silver sound from a time so strange
        Sing to me, sing to me
        When that fat old sun in the sky is falling
