| | Perfect Sense Part I & II Lyrics Artist(Band):Roger Waters
Will you stop Dave? Stop Dave I'm afraid I'm afraid Dave, my mind is going I can feel it I can feel it My mind is going There is no question about it I can feel it I can feel it I can feel it I'm afraid The monkey sat on a pile of stone And he stared at the broken bone in his hand Strains of a Viennese quartet rang out across the land The monkey looked up at the stars And he thought to himself Memory is a stranger History is for fools And he cleaned his hands in a pool of holy writing Turned his back on the garden and set out for the nearest town Hold on hold on soldier When you add it all up The tears and the marrowbone There's an ounce of gold And an ounce of pain in each measure And the Germans kill the Jews And the Jews kill the Arabs And the Arabs kill the hostages And that is the news And is it any wonder that the monkey's confused He said Mama Mama, the President's a fool Why do I have to keep reading these technical manuals And the joint chiefs of staff And the brokers on Wall Street said Don't make us laugh, you're a smart kid Time is linear Memory's a stranger History is for fools Man is a tool in the hands Of the great God Almighty And they gave him command of a nuclear submarine Sent him back in search of the Garden of Eden ----------------------------- Can't you see It all makes perfect sense Expressed in dollars and cents, Pounds, shillings and pence Can't you see It all makes perfect sense Little black soul departs in perfect focus Hold on soldier Prime time fodder for the News at Nine Hold on, hold on soldier Darling is the child warm in the bed tonight [Marv Albert:] "Hi everybody I'm Marv Albert And welcome to our telecast Coming to you live from Memorial Stadium It's a beautiful day And today we expect a sensational matchup But first our global anthem" Can't you see It all makes perfect sense Expressed in dollars and cents, Pounds, shillings and pence Can't you see It all makes perfect sense [Marv:] "And here come the players As I speak to you now, the captain Has his cross hairs zeroed in on the oil rig He's at periscope depth It looks to me like he's going to attack By the way did you know that a submarine Captain earns 200,000 dollars a year" [Edward:]"That's LESS tax Marv" [Marv:]"Yeah, LESS tax Thank you Edward" [Edward:]"You're welcome" [Marv:]"Now back to the game...he fires one...yes There goes two; both fish are running The rig is going into a prevent defense Will they make it? I don't think so" Look out! Look at that baby burn! Can't you see It all makes perfect sense Expressed in dollars and cents, Pounds, shillings and pence Can't you see It all makes perfect sense Can't you see It all makes perfect sense If you find some error in Perfect Sense Part I & II Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

Review about Perfect Sense Part I & II Perfect Sense Part I | Reviewer: Dennis Oberheu | 9/12/2007 I'M hearing "Don't make us laugh you're a smart kid time is linear runways are straight" (as in time and space being relative and reality not being the way our ego percieves it to be). Then he is equiped with a nuclear submarine and sent back to look for the garden of eden.(Which he had when he recognized the true meaning of time and space.) Is this review helpful to you? Yes No what ir means | Reviewer: Rafael de Venezuela | 9/2/2007 this is a powerfull song with a deep meaning, but what to do??? try to make this world little better place for our children, a small contribution but it changes yourself big time, makes you feel and be different, try like FLOYD said in a song call ON THE TURNING AWAY. sorry for my bad english, :) Is this review helpful to you? Yes No song predates gwb | Reviewer: m font | 7/20/2007 this is from rolling stone,1992! the song is over 15 years old, folks! yes, iraq and mid east part of the equation, but our current situation has zippo to do with the original writings (though you can certainly say it's prophetic). in any case, with PS I&II, waters is more critical of our culture of TV news and the way we watch events unfold than he is of specific mideast tension. "It was three years before Operation Desert Storm that Waters, the British founder and former chief composer of Pink Floyd, began work on Amused To Death, his third solo album, by writing "Perfect Sense," a two-part song suite envisioning a world in which live television transmissions of war and upheaval become the principal form of mass entertainment. According to the album's thesis, since there is nothing in the history of civilization that generates more profit for the power elite than war, its creators see the enterprise as a can't-miss proposition. "The idea for the album," says Waters, "was a strangely prophetic one. I was working within the general metaphor of a gorilla watching television, the ape being a symbol for anyone who's been sitting with his mouth open in front of network and cable news for the last 10 years. The record explores the idea of television as medicine: It's either healing us or killing us. The truth is it's doing both, healing us as a target audience but killing off our respective cultures."

Is this review helpful to you? Yes No I saw Him | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/10/2007 I saw him on the 2007 tour also (Boston) This song and Leaving Beirut really do make you think about how fucked the world is and people are in general Is this review helpful to you? Yes No perfect sense | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/3/2007 "Can't you see It all makes perfect sense Expressed in dollars and cents" If you think in terms of money then all the inhumane things we do infact MAKE SENSE! The monkey loses his mind to money. He discards history and compassion and is caught up in the neverending greed of humanity. People think if they can be faithful to an organized religion but not soak in the scriptures trues meaning than they are cleansed of sin. ( remind you of someone??.. maybe our president!). I think also the sportscaster representation for war.. is somewhat true for how our media portrays war. Have you seen a commercial for the army lately? what a load of shit! "And the brokers on Wall Street said Don't make us laugh, you're a smart kid Time is linear Memory's a stranger History is for fools Man is a tool in the hands Of the great God Almighty And they gave him command of a nuclear submarine Sent him back in search of the Garden of Eden" people with these insane points of view are infact in charge of nuclear submarines! Is this review helpful to you? Yes No Cant see the religion reference? | Reviewer: Jody J | 6/27/2007 The starting audio, with the person saying he can feel his mind going.Its the Monkey, looking at the broken bone he just used to kill, and is aware of it for the first time.Then he turns his back on the garden of Eden(Innocence), but still washes away all the sin(Guilt) in the "Pool of holy writing"(Bible). Its funny how true that is for all those religious people out there.. sin all week, adn clean yourself on Sundays. Then do it again. Is this review helpful to you? Yes No I´m sure that ashwin is from Texas | Reviewer: Willy Wonka | 6/25/2007 He said mama, the president´s a fool, why do I have to keep reading these technical manuals??? Is this review helpful to you? Yes No why don't people know what this song is about? | Reviewer: Pam | 6/13/2007 I can't understand how someone can read these lyrics and not know what he is singing about. The message is loud and clear. It is about war, humanity and how fucked up our world has become. Is this review helpful to you? Yes No The first time I heard it | Reviewer: Niluje | 5/30/2007 I didn't know the solo career of Waters, and the first time I heard this song was in Live at Bercy (France) for his Darkside of the Moon 2007 tour. When I heard the song and the lyrics for the first time I cried, it's so perfectly written... Is this review helpful to you?
