Pink Floyd - Raving And Drooling


Raving And Drooling

"Raving And Drooling"    (Waters)
Raving and drooling
I fell on his neck with a scream.

He had a whole lot of
Terminal shock in his eyes.

That's what you get
For pretending the rest are not real.

Babbling and snapping
At far away flies,
He will zig-zag his way back
Through memories of boredom and pain.

Raving and drooling
I fell on his neck with a scream.
He was caught in the middle,
Between the illusion of safety in numbers
And being brought down to his knees.


Some variations were made in the live performances:

For example:.

“How does it feel to be empty
And angry and spaced.
Split up the middle
Between the illusion of safety
In numbers and the fist in your face”
This song was the basis for the song “Sheep” on the Animals album. This version was performed between 1974 & 1975.
