5. GRANTCHESTER MEADOWS (Waters)
Icy wind of night be gone
This is not your domain
In the sky a bird was heard to cry
Misty morning whisperings
and gentle stirring sounds
Belied a deathly silence
That lay all around
Hear the lark and harken
To the barking of the dog fox
Gone to ground
See the splashing
Of the kingfisher flashing to the water
And a river of green is sliding
Unseen beneath the trees
Laughing as it passes
Through the endless summer
Making for the sea
In the lazy water meadow
I lay me down
All around me golden sunflakes
Settle on the ground
Basking in the sunshine
Of a by-gone afternoon
Bringing sounds of yesterday
Into this city room
Hear the lark and harken
To the barking of the dog fox
Gone to ground
See the splashing
Of the kingfisher flashing to the water
And a river of green is sliding
Unseen beneath the trees
Laughing as it passes
Through the endless summer
Making for the sea
6. SEVERAL SPECIES OF SMALL FURRY ANIMALS GATHERED TOGETHER IN A CAVE AND GROOVING WITH A PICT (Waters)
Aye, an' a bit of mackerel, settler rack and down
Ran it down by the home, and I flew
Well, I slapped me and I flopped it down in the shade
And I cried, cried, cried.
The fear a fallen down had taken, never back the raise
And then cried Mary, an' took out wi' your Claymore,
Right outta a' pocket, I ran down, down the mountainside
Back on Battlin the fiery horde that was falling around the feet.
Never! He cried, never shall ye get me alive
Ye rotten hound of the burnie crew!
Well, I snatched fer the blade an' a Claymore cut and thrust,
And I fell doon before him round his feet. Aye!
A roar he cried!
Frae the bottom of his heart
That I would nay fall but as dead,
Dead as I can by a' feet, d'ya ken?
And the wind cried Mary.
A hidden message (at half normal speed) is at 4:32-4:33. In the right speaker you can hear David saying: "This is pretty avant garde, isn't it?" If you play it at double speed, you can hear Roger saying: "Bring back my guitar"

You can also hear several other strange bits grooving along in this song:
3:20 (slow) A weird lady's voice,
3:38 there is "Quiet, quiet!" when played forward,
or perhaps "Help, help" when played backwards.
3:55 Coughing in the Right speaker,

1. THE NARROW WAY - Parts I, II & III (Gilmour)
Following the path
As it leads towards the darkness in the north
Weary strangers' faces show their sympathy
They've seen that hope before
And if you want to stay for a little bit
Rest your aching limbs for a little bit
Before you the night is beckoning
And you know you can't delay
You hear the night birds calling you
But you can't catch the words they say
Close your aching eyes beyond your name
Mist is swelling, creatures crawling,
Hear the roar get louder in your ears
You know the folly was your own
But the force behind can't conquer all your fears
And if you want to stay for a little bit
Rest your aching limbs for a little bit
Before you the night is beckoning
And you know you can't delay
You hear the night birds calling you
But you can't catch the words they say
Close your aching eyes beyond your name
Throw your thoughts back many years
To the time when there was life in every morning
Perhaps a day will come
When the nights will be as close as that morning
And if you want to stay for a little bit
Rest your aching limbs for a little bit
Before you the night is beckoning
And you know you can't delay
You hear the night birds calling you
But you can't catch the words they say
Close your aching eyes beyond your name

ASTRONOMY DOMINE (Barrett)
Lime and limpid green, a second scene
A fight between the blue you once knew
Floating down, the sound resounds
Around the icy waters underground.
Jupiter and Saturn, Oberon, Miranda
And Titania, Neptune, Titan,
Stars can frighten...
Lime and limpid green, a second scene
A fight between the blue you once knew
Floating down, the sound resounds
Around the icy waters underground.
Jupiter and Saturn, Oberon, Miranda
And Titania, Neptune, Titan,
Stars can frighten...
Blinding signs flap, flicker, flicker, flicker
Blam pow, pow
Stairway scare Dan Dare who's there...
Lime and limpid green,
The sounds surrounds the icy waters underground
Lime and limpid green,
The sound surrounds the icy waters
Underground
CAREFUL WITH THAT AXE, EUGENE (Waters, Wright, Mason, Gilmour)
SET THE CONTROLS FOR THE HEART OF THE SUN (Waters)
Little by little the night turns around
Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn
Lotuses lean on each other in yearning
Under the eaves the swallow is resting
Set the controls for the heart of the Sun
Over the mountain watching the watcher
Breaking the darkness waking the grapevine
One inch of love is one inch of shadow
Love is the shadow that ripens the wine
Set the controls for the heart of the Sun
The heart of the Sun...
The heart of the Sun...
The heart of the Sun...
The heart of the Sun...
The heart of the Sun...
The heart of the Sun...
The heart of the Sun...
The heart of the Sun...
The heart of the Sun...
Witness the man who raves at the wall
Making the shape of his question to Heaven
Whether the Sun will fall in the evening
Will he remember the lesson of giving?
Set the controls for the heart of the Sun
The heart of the Sun...
The heart of the Sun...
The heart of the Sun...
The heart of the Sun...
The heart of the Sun...
The heart of the Sun...
The heart of the Sun...
