C F C F C Dm Em G G+ Am**********************************************\/
Am C AmWe were moving away from the border
C AmLooking for somewhere to sleep
C AmThe two of us sharing the driving
C AmTwo hitchhikers slumped in the back seat
Hello
C Am
I sneaked a quick look in the mirror
She gave me a smile
C Am I said "Is anyone hungry?
C Am
Should we stop for a while?"
C Am AmSo we pulled off into a layby
C AmHer dress blew up over her head
C AmI said "Would you like to come with me?"
C AmShe said something foreign under her breath
*************************************************/\
F CAnd the sun shone down on her lovely young limbs

Am So I stood by the roadside
(G) FThe soles of my running shoes gripping the tarmac
(G) Am (G) F (G)
Like gunmetal magnets
AmFixed on the front of her Fassbinder face
(G) FWas the kind of a smile
(G) AmThat only a rather dull child could have drawn
(G) F (G)
While attempting a graveyard in the moonlight
AmBut she was impressed
(G) FYou could see that she thought I looked fine
(G) AmAnd when she turned sweeter
(G) FThe reason (between you and me) was
(G) Am F
She'd just seen my green Lamborghini
(You can play a barre-chord G in the middle of Am and F
and visa-versa to link them together)
*********************************************\/

C AmTo feel the wind in our hair
C AmTo feel the power of my engine

To feel the thrill of desire

4:30 AM (Aparentemente estaban Viajar al extranjero)
Al parecer, en el que viajaban en el extranjero
Y recogieron algunos autoestopistas ... taladro
Despierta que ests soando ... lo ... que ests soando
Nos alejamos de la frontera
Eh qu frontera?
Que tengas un buen da ... uh ... have a nice day
Nos alejamos de la frontera
Buscando un lugar para dormir
Nosotros dos compartiendo la conduccin
Dos polizones se desplomaron en el asiento trasero
Hola
Me col un rpido vistazo en el espejo
Ella me dio una sonrisa
Le dije: "Hay alguien con hambre?
Hay que parar un rato? "
As que nos detuvimos en un rea de descanso
Su vestido volaron sobre su cabeza
Le dije: "Te gustara ir conmigo?"
Ella dijo algo extrao en voz baja
Y el sol brillaba sobre sus hermosos miembros jvenes
Me dije a m mismo que ella es demasiado buena para l
Me acost al lado de ella con lgrimas en mis ojos
Ella dijo
4:33 AM (zapatillas)
As que me puse de pie junto a la carretera
Las suelas de mis zapatos para correr de agarre del asfalto
Al igual que los imanes bronce de can
Fijo en el frente de su cara Fassbinder
Era el tipo de sonrisa
Que slo un nio ms bien aburrido podra haber dibujado
Que trataron de hacerles cementerio bajo la luna
Pero ella estaba impresionado
Se poda ver que ella pens que yo vea bien
Se volvi ms dulce y cundo
La razn (entre t y yo) era
Ella acababa de ver mi Lamborghini verde
As que nos fuimos a dar una vuelta en el pas
Para sentir el viento en el pelo
Para sentir el poder de mi motor
Sentir la emocin del deseo
Y luego, en los rboles o un chasquido ramita
Las luces de advertencia se encendieron mi mapa
Abr los ojos y para mi sorpresa
4:37 AM (rabes con cuchillos y West cielos alemanes)
Haba rabes con cuchillos
Al pie de la cama
Justo a los pies de la cama
Oh, Dios mo, cmo llegaron aqu?
Pens que estbamos hogar seguro en Inglaterra
Ella dijo: "Vamos ahora chico, que estaba mal lo que hiciste
Tienes que admitir que fue un error "
Oh dios .... Jess
Sleep Sleep
Yo s que yo slo estoy soando
Djala fuera de mi casa alone..get out..out..get
A travs de los ojos cerrados
Veo cielos de Alemania Occidental en el techo
Y quiero volver
A la chica con la mochila
Para sentir su pelo rubio
Yo quiero estar all
Ver el sol que se esconde
Detrs de aceras Krupps
En las afueras de alguna ciudad alemana
Guten Abend meiner Damen und Herren Ha Ha Ha Ha
Willkommen in Konnigsburg Ha Ha Ha Ha
Wollen tas Danzen mit mir oder drinken Bier Ha Ha Ha Ha
Gracias, pero ......

Buenas noches
Djanos en paz
Podra tener la clave para un cuatro tres, por favor?
All son

Me despert en una fiebre
La ropa de cama fueron empapados en sudor
Ella dijo: "Usted ha estado teniendo una pesadilla
Y no ha terminado todava "
Luego cogi el perrito en la ventana
(El de la cola menea)
Y ella lo acost entre dos pedazos de pan
4:47 AM (Lo que queda de nuestro amor)
Acabo encog en la esquina
Mi abrigo pijama encima de mi cabeza
Y ella sonri mientras terminaba su sndwich
Y sus ojos fros me fijo en mi historia oscura
Como se cepillaba los restos
De nuestro amor de la cama
Y cuando a ella haba dado vuelta a la colcha
Cuando todas las oraciones haban sido ledo
Ella dijo: "Vamos por aqu que chico tonto
Antes de que usted descubre a su muerte de fro
Slo estaba bromeando

4:50 AM (Go Fishing)
Como coches van por ech el ojo de mi mente
Durante mochilas sobre bastidores de techo
Ms all del horizonte
Dnde vendedores de sueos
Trabajar procesadores de plstico blanco
Invite a los incautos
Para llegar al castillo en el aire
Ir a pescar a mi hijo!
Nos pusimos en marcha en la primavera
Con un bal lleno de libros sobre todo
Acerca de los dispositivos solares
Y lo bonito es el parto natural
Cortamos algunos rboles
Y remolcada nuestros ideales
A travs del claro del bosque
Nos represado la corriente
Y los nios se enfriaron Sus talones
En la piscina de la pesca que habamos hecho
Nos dimos la mano e intercambiamos bandas
Y prcticamente vivan de la tierra
Usted adopt un cachorro de zorro
Cuya madre era el abrigo de alguien
Usted le dio de comer con la mano
Y entonces l se acurruc acurruc
Por la cama abuelo mientras escriba
Crecimos nuestro propio maz
Y slo de vez en cuando iba a la ciudad
Para abastecerse de antibiticos
Y conchas para la escopeta que me mantienen en torno a

Y el sol se puso ms pronto cada da.
* El captulo seis en el que Eeyore Es el cumpleaos
Y tiene dos regalos

De la corriente y se mir en el agua

"Buenos das Eeyore", dijo Pooh
"Oh," dijo Pooh, El pens durante mucho tiempo
Las hojas cayeron todos
Nuestros cultivos todos se volvieron marrn
Se haba acabado
Al caer los primeros copos de nieve
Me di cuenta de que no todo estaba bien en el campamento
Los nios atrapados bronquitis
El calentador se qued sin diesel
Un fin de semana un amigo desde el Este
Rot His Soul
Rob su corazn
Le dije: "A la mierda entonces
Llevar a los nios de regreso a la ciudad
Tal vez te ver por ah "
Y as ... dejando todas nuestras esperanzas y sueos
Para el viento y la lluvia
Tomando slo nuestro alijo
Quede nuestra basura y la basura

No me gusta que sea un poco
Quedarse aqu al lado de este camino solitario.

Al describir este idiota

No en mi equipo no lo hace chico ... lrgate de aqu
5:01 AM (Los Pros y contras de hacer autostop)
Un ngel en una Harley
Saca a travs de saludar a un compaero de la piedra rodante
Pone su bicicleta para arriba en l de soporte
Se inclina hacia atrs y luego se extiende
Una mano llena de cicatrices y grasiento ... dijo
Cmo ests hermano? ... Dnde has estado? ... Dnde vas?
Luego toma tu mano
En un extrao apretn de manos californiano
Y rompe el hueso
Que tengas un buen da
Un ama de casa de Encino
Cuyo marido est en el campo de golf
Con su libro de reglas
Escapadas y hace una 'U' y Idles espalda
Para tomar un segundo vistazo a usted
Usted flexiona la varilla
Pescado toma el gancho
Dulce vodka y el tabaco en el aliento
Otro nmero en su pequeo libro negro
Estos son los pros y los contras de hacer autostop
Estos son los pros y los contras de hacer autostop
Oh nena, debo estar soando
Estoy parado en el borde de ataque
La propagacin litoral oriental ante mis ojos
"Jump", dice Yoko Ono
"Tengo demasiado miedo y demasiado guapo" Llor
"Adelante", dice
"Por qu no darle una oportunidad?
Por qu prolongar la agona que todos los hombres deben morir "
Recuerdas Dick Tracy?
Te acuerdas de Shane?
Y madre te quiere
Podra verlo venta de entradas
Cuando los crculos ms ratonero

El cuerpo en la llanura
Entendi la msica Yoko

La perra dijo algo mstico "Herro"
Entonces di un paso atrs en la acera de nuevo
Estos son los pros y los contras de hacer autostop
Estos son los pros y los contras de hacer autostop

Estos son los pros y los contras de hacer autostop
5:06 AM (Cada Strangers Eyes)
Hola ... quieres una taza de caf?
Lo siento, te gustara una taza de caf?
Ok de tomar leche y azcar?
En las paradas del carro y las hamburgueseras
En limusinas Cadillac
En compaa de viejas glorias
Y se inclin-backs y formas de dormir
En los pasos de pavimento
En las bibliotecas y estaciones de ferrocarril
En los libros y los bancos
En las pginas de la historia
En los ataques de caballera suicidas
Yo reconozco ...
Yo mismo en los ojos de todos los extraos
Y, en silla de ruedas por los monumentos
Bajo los trenes de metro y de cercanas accidentes
En la atencin del Consejo y de los tribunales de distrito
En las ferias de Semana Santa y centros tursticos junto al mar
En salones y morgues de la ciudad
En obras ganadoras
De balsas salvavidas en los mares de China
En los campamentos de trnsito, bajo las lmparas de arco
En rampas de descarga
En las caras enmascaradas por sellos de goma
Yo reconozco ...
Yo mismo en los ojos de todos los extraos
Y ahora desde donde estoy
Sobre esta colina que saquearon de la piscina
Miro a mi alrededor, yo busco los cielos
Yo sombra mis ojos, por lo que casi ciego
Y veo signos de los das recordados a medias
Oigo campanas Eso Chime en extraas formas familiares
Yo reconozco ...
La esperanza que enciende en sus ojos
Es oh tan fcil ahora
Como mentimos aqu en la oscuridad
Nada interfiere es obvio
Cmo vencer las lgrimas
Que amenazan con extinguir
La chispa de nuestro amor
5:11 AM (The Moment of Clarity)
Y la momento de claridad
Faded como la caridad lo hace
A veces
Abro un ojo
Y puse mi mano slo para tocar tu cabello suave
Para asegurarse de que en la oscuridad que todava estabas all
Y tengo que admitir
Yo slo era un poco de miedo, oh s
Pero entonces ...
Tuve un poco de suerte
Estabas despierto
No pude tomar otro momento a solas.

Roger began work on the concept and songs of The Pros and Cons of HitchHiking in the late 1970's and it was only after Pink Floyd disbanded that he refined the lyrics and music. Pros and Cons became his first "Solo" album without the other Pink Floyd members as backup studio musicians as some say was the case with the albums, "The Wall" and "The Final Cut."His new band, which he called"The Bleeding Hearts Band,"was composed of various great studio musicians he had befriended over the years. However for the album, and this first iteration of the band, Roger called upon non other than Eric Clapton for it's lead guitarist and main instrumentalist.The Pros and Cons of HitchHiking was released in 1984 with concerts beginning two tours in Sweden shortly there-after. There weretrivial differencesin the lyrics reported between the US Pros and Cons album release and the British release, as well as extra lyrics sung during the Pros and Cons tour.The lyrics
4.30 AM (Apparently They Were Travelling Abroad)
Apparently they were travelling abroad
And they picked up some hitchhikers...drill
Wake up you're dreaming...what...you're dreaming
We were moving away from the border
Uh what border?
Have a nice day...uh...have a nice day
We were moving away from the border
Looking for somewhere to sleep
The two of us sharing the driving
Two hitchhikers slumped in the back seat
Hello
I sneaked a quick look in the mirror
She gave me a smile
I said "Is anyone hungry?
Should we stop for a while?"
So we pulled off into a layby
Her dress blew up over her head
I said "Would you like to come with me?"
She said something foreign under her breath
And the sun shone down on her lovely young limbs
I thought to myself she's much too good for him
I lay down beside her with tears in my eyes
She said
4.33 AM (Running Shoes)
So I stood by the roadside
The soles of my running shoes gripping the tarmac
Like gunmetal magnets
Fixed on the front of her Fassbinder face
Was the kind of a smile
That only a rather dull child could have drawn
While attempting a graveyard in the moonlight
But she was impressed
You could see that she thought I looked fine
And when she turned sweeter
The reason (between you and me) was
She'd just seen my green Lamborghini
So we went for a spin in the country
To feel the wind in our hair
To feel the power of my engine
To feel the thrill of desire
And then in the trees I heard a twig snap
Warning lights flashed on my map
I opened my eyes and to my surprise
4.37 AM (Arabs with Knives and West German Skies)
There were Arabs with Knives
At the foot of the bed
Right at the foot of the bed
Oh my God how did they get in here?
I thought we were safe home in England
She said "Come on now kid, it was wrong what you did
You've got to admit it was wrong"
Oh god....Jesus
Sleep Sleep
I know that I'm only dreaming
Leave her alone..get out..out..get out of my house
Through closed eyes
I see West German skies on the ceiling
And I want to get back
To the girl with the rucksack
To feel her flaxen hair
I want to be there
See the sun going down
Behind Krupps steelworks
On the outskirts of some German town
Guten Abend meiner Damen und Herren Ha Ha Ha Ha
Willkommen in Konnigsburg Ha Ha Ha Ha
Wollen zie danzen mit mir oder drinken Bier Ha Ha Ha Ha
Thank you but......
This young lady and I
Will just finish this bottle of wine
It was kind of you...but
I think we'll just say goodnight
Leave us alone
Goodnight
Leave us alone
Could I have the key to one four three please?
There you are
Thank you, goodnight
Hello yes I'd like to order breakfast please
I'd like coffee for two, and toast with marmalade
No...marmalade.
4.39 (For the First Time Today-Part 2)
For the first time today
I held her naked body next to mine
In this hotel overlooking the Rhine
I made her mine
Ooh babe...ooh babe
Come with me and stay with me
Please stay with me
Uh...what is it?
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me
No...
Stay with me
Forget it
4.41 AM (Sexual Revolution)
Hey...girl
Take out the dagger
And let's have a stab at the sexual revolution
Hey girl
Let freedom for all be our rallying call
Tomorrow lets make...our new resolution
Yeah, but tonight lie still
While I plunder your sweet grave
And remember
Only the poor can be saved
Hey girl
As I've always said I prefer your lips red
Not what the good Lord made
But what he intended
Hey girl
Don't point the finger at me
I am only a rat in a maze like you
And only the dead go free
So...please hold my hand
As we blunder through the maze
And remember
Nothing can grow without rain
(Thunder)
Don't point
Don't point your finger at me
I awoke in a fever
The bedclothes were all soaked in sweat
She said "You've been having a nightmare
And it's not over yet"
Then she picked up the doggy in the window
(The one with the waggly tail)
And she put him to bed between two bits of bread
4.47 AM (The Remains of Our Love)
I just cowered in the corner
My pyjama coat over my head
And she smiled as she finished her sandwich
And her cold eyes fixed me to my dark history
As she brushed the remains
Of our love from the bed
And when she had turned back the covers
When all of the prayers had been read
She said "Come on over here you silly boy
Before you catch your death of cold
I was only joking
Let's leave behind the city grime
Let's not compete
It could be fine in the country
Couldn't it though...come on lets go
I said "OK"
Are we going to go now?
Where would you like to go darling?
Mmm...Vermont...Wyoming (yes)
Wyoming...huh huh
Children...(what) we're going to Wyoming
Darling...Which way is Wyoming?
Hook a right here
You're going the wrong way
I know that
I know children...
Let's see how many...Volvos we pass
On the way to our new life in the country
...One
Jade don't do that, that's really negative
4.50 AM (Go Fishing)
As cars go by I cast my mind's eye
Over back packs on roof racks
Beyond the horizon
Where dream makers
Working white plastic processors
Invite the unwary
To reach for the pie in the sky
Go fishing my boy!
We set out in the spring
With a trunk full of books about everything
About solar devices
And how nice natural childbirth is
We cut down some trees
And we trailed our ideals
Through the forest glade
We dammed up the stream
And the kids cooled their heels
In the fishing pool we'd made
We held hands and we exchanged bands
And we practically lived off the land
You adopted a fox cub
Whose mother was somebody's coat
You fed him by hand
And then snuggled snuggled him down
By the grandfather bed while I wrote
We grew our own maize
And I only occasionally went into town
To stock up on antibiotics
And shells for the shotgun that I kept around
I told the kids stories while you worked your loom
And the sun went down sooner each day.
*Chapter six in which Eeyore has a birthday
And gets two presents
Daddy...come on dad
Eeyore the old grey donkey stood by the side
Of the stream and he looked at himself in the water
"Pathetic" he said, "That's what it is"
"Good morning Eeyore" said Pooh
"Oh" said Pooh, He thought for a long time
The leaves all fell down
Our crops all turned brown
It was over
As the first snowflakes fell
I realized all was not well in the camp
The kids caught bronchitis
The space heater ran out of diesel
One weekend a friend from the East
Rot his soul
Stole your heart
I said "Fuck it then
Take the kids back to town
Maybe I'll see you around"
And so...leaving all our hopes and dreams
To the wind and the rain
Taking only our stash
Left our litter and trash
And set out on the road again
On the road again
Bye Bye Daddy, Bye Daddy
You can bring Pearl she's a darn nice girl
But don't bring Liza
4.56 AM (For the First Time Today-Part 1)
For the first time today
I feel it's really over
You were my everyday excuse
For playing deaf, dumb and blind
Who'd have ever thought
This was how it would end for you and me
To carry my own millstone
Out of the trees
And I have to admit
I don't like it a bit
Being left here beside this lonesome road.
Lonesome road
Lonesome road
4.58 AM (Dunroamin, Duncarin, Dunlivin)
Hey kid, you looking for a lift?...Get on up here
How's it going good buddy?
I nailed ducks to the wall
Kept my heart in dark ruins
I built bungalows all over the hills
Dunroamin, duncarin, dunlivin
Took my girl to the country
To sleep out under the moon
Next thing she's going crazy
Women are like that kid
What the hell can you do?
She waits for the real Mr. Right to come
Gently removing her heart
With his promises of real communication
I saw a program about that on TV........
Who's always picking up the tab
Who built a bungalow for his mum and dad
Me.....
Who took you out to all the shows
Who worked his fingers to the bone
Me....
While you were asleep
It was me...I did
I kept you in buttons and bows
Christ all those clothes
So you could encourage this creep
With his neat feet
And his clean fingernails
With his wise but twinkling eyes
He's a rock standing out in an ocean of doubt
Get movin', get off the road ya Goddam faggot
And compromise
I'd like to go on with this bit of a song
Describing this schmuck
I'd like to go on, but I'm going to throw up
Not in my rig you don't boy...get the hell out of here
5.01 AM (The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking)
An angel on a Harley
Pulls across to greet a fellow rolling stone
Puts his bike up on it's stand
Leans back and then extends
A scarred and greasy hand...he said
How ya doin bro?...where ya been?...where ya goin'?
Then he takes your hand
In some strange Californian handshake
And breaks the bone
Have a nice day
A housewife from Encino
Whose husband's on the golf course
With his book of rules
Breaks and makes a 'U' and idles back
To take a second look at you
You flex your rod
Fish takes the hook
Sweet vodka and tobacco in her breath
Another number in your little black book
These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking
These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking
Oh babe, I must be dreaming
I'm standing on the leading edge
The Eastern seaboard spread before my eyes
"Jump" says Yoko Ono
"I'm too scared and too good looking" I cried
"Go on", she says
"Why don't you give it a try?
Why prolong the agony all men must die"
Do you remember Dick Tracy?
Do you remember Shane?
And mother wants you
Could you see him selling tickets
Where the buzzard circles over
Shane
The body on the plain
Did you understand the music Yoko
Or was it all in vain?
Shane
The bitch said something mystical "Herro"
So I stepped back on the kerb again
These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking
These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking
Oh babe, I must be dreaming again
These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking
5.06 AM (Every Strangers Eyes)
Hello...you wanna cup of coffee?
I'm sorry, would you like a cup of coffee?
Ok you take cream and sugar?
In truck stops and hamburger joints
In Cadillac limousines
In the company of has-beens
And bent-backs and sleeping forms
On pavement steps
In libraries and railway stations
In books and banks
In the pages of history
In suicidal cavalry attacks
I recognise...
Myself in every stranger's eyes
And in wheelchairs by monuments
Under tube trains and commuter accidents
In council care and county courts
At Easter fairs and sea-side resorts
In drawing rooms and city morgues
In award winning photographs
Of life rafts in the China seas
In transit camps, under arc lamps
On unloading ramps
In faces blurred by rubber stamps
I recognise...
Myself in every stranger's eyes
And now from where I stand
Upon this hill I plundered from the pool
I look around, I search the skies
I shade my eyes, so nearly blind
And I see signs of half remembered days
I hear bells that chime in strange familiar ways
I recognise...
The hope you kindle in your eyes
It's oh so easy now
As we lie here in the dark
Nothing interferes it's obvious
How to beat the tears
That threaten to snuff out
The spark of our love
5.11 AM (The Moment of Clarity)
And the moment of clarity
Faded like charity does
Sometimes
I open one eye
And I put out my hand just to touch your soft hair
To make sure in the darkness that you were still there
And I have to admit
I was just a little afraid, oh yeah
But then...
I had a little bit of luck
You were awake
I couldn't take another moment alone.
