Lyrics Roger Waters

Roger Waters

Four Minutes

[Billy:] Four minutes and counting.

[Jim:] O.K.

[Billy:] They pressed the button, Jim.

[Jim:] They pressed the button Billy, what button?

[Billy:] The big red one.

[Jim:] You mean THE button?

[Billy:] Goodbye, Jim.

[Jim:] Goodbye! Oh yes. This ain't au revoir, it's goodbye! Ha! Ha!

[Jim:] This is KAOS. It's a beautiful, balmy, Southern

California summer day. It's 80 degrees ... I said

balmy ... I could say bomby ... Ha! Ha! ...O.K.

I'm Jim and this is Radio KAOS and with only four

minutes left to us, let's use this as wisely as possible.

[Molly:] Everybody got someone they call home.

[Jim:] Out at Dodger Stadium. It's the bottom of the seventh, the

Dodgers are leading three to nothing over the Giants, and

for those of you who are looking to go surfing tomorrow, too bad.

[Telephone rings]

[Jim:] I'm kinda lost in here to tell you the truth ... O.K. good.

Ladies and gentlemen, if the reports that we are getting

are correct, this could be it. Billy, if you're

listening to me, please call now.

After a near miss on the plane

You swear you'll never fly again

After the first kiss when you make up

You swear you'll never break up again

And when you've just run a red light

Sit shaking under the street light

You swear to yourself you'll never drink and drive again

Sometimes I feel like going home

You swear you'll never let things go by again.

Sometimes I miss the rain and snow

And you'll never toe the party line again

And when the east wind blows

Sometimes I feel like going home

[Jim:] Billy, if you are listening, please call.

[Californian Weirdo:] Sole has no eyes.

[Molly:] Goodbye little spy in the sky.

They say that cameras don't lie.

Am I happy, am I sad, am I good, am I bad?

[Jim:] Billy, if you're listening, please call.

[Californian Weirdo:] Sole has no eyes, sole has no eyes

[Billy:] Ten, nine, eight, seven

[Margaret Thatcher:] Our own independent nuclear deterrent has helped to keep the peace.

[Billy:] Six, five four, three,

[Ordinary Person:] ...you've go a job...

[Billy:] Two, one,

[Margaret Thatcher:] For nearly forty years

[Jim:] Goodbye Billy.
