The Wall    30th November 1979

“Nobody Home”    (Waters)
"Alright, I'll take care of them part of the time, but there's somebody else that needs taking care of in Washington".

"Who's that?"

"Rose Pilchitt!"

"Rose Pilchitt? Who's that?"

(Kid screams in background. foreground: "Shut Up!")

"36-24-36 (laughter) does that answer your question?"

(foreground: "Oi! I've got a little black book with me poems in!")

"Who's she?"

"She was 'Miss Armoured Division' in 1961 ... "

I've got a little black book with my poems in.
Got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb.
When I'm a good dog, they sometimes throw me a bone in.

I got elastic bands keepin my shoes on.
Got those swollen hand blues.
Got thirteen channels of shit on the TV to choose from.
I've got electric light.
And I got second sight.
And amazing powers of observation.
And that is how I know
When I try to get through
On the telephone to you
There'll be nobody home.

I've got the obligatory Hendrix perm.
And the inevitable pinhole burns
All down the front of my favourite satin shirt.
I've got nicotine stains on my fingers.
I've got a silver spoon on a chain.
I've got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains.

I've got wild staring eyes.
And I got a strong urge to fly.
But I got nowhere to fly to.
Ooooh, babe when I pick up the phone.

"Surprise, surprise, surprise..."

There's still nobody home.

I've got a pair of Gohills boots and I got fading roots.

"Where the hell are you?"

"Over 47 German planes were destroyed with the loss of only 15 of our own aircraft".

"Where the hell are you Simon?"

(Machine gun sound, followed by plane crashing)
