Pink Floyd - Nobody Home Lyrics
I've got a little black book with my poems in
I've got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in
When I'm a good dog they sometimes throw me a bone in
I got elastic bands keeping my shoes on
I got thirteen channels of shit on the T.V. to choose from
I've got electric light
And I've got second sight
Got 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
I've got a strong urge to fly
But I've got nowhere to fly to
Ooh, babe, when I pick up the phone
There's still nobody home
I've got a pair of Gohills boots
But I've got fading roots.

Pink Floyd Nobody Home Comments
This song is about Syd
Dear Roger and Dave, Climate change is a hoax..Cool song tho
~ ❤️ ~
And that is how I know....
Deep in the Soul soul soul...
I need more for this... It's an introspection that calms, elevates, strengthens and touches the being. It sounds good to my soul.
I've got wild staring eyes is correct. Not wide.
Syd in his Gohils boots.
since 1990... always proud to wear Pink Floyd t shirt till 2019
Again Vegas????
There's somebody else needs taken care of in Washington (The senate for example)
Still nobody in home

Amd thats how i know when i try to get through on the telephone to you theelll be nobody home
My freshman year in college.
You're a wordsmith. That's what you are Rodger.
167 people just don’t get it.
makes every playlist love this song and lyrics..has stuck with me all these years
Well thank you anyways
Now there's 450 channels of shit too chose from
It's not that "nobody cares about me", is that nobody bothers to invite me anywhere, or picks up the phone when I want to talk, or listens to me in a normal conversation. Of course they care, but just when I'm upset.
Never heard this one, love it!
okay,,be back by,,monday,,
SYD …….. I`ve got the obligatory Hendrix perm
Every single time I hear it.....magic
I never could figure out the opening lines to this, thank you for that.....one of my favs by floyd
I love Roger waters
He sings from deep down in his gut and his heart. Emotion and passion. Most underrated singer ever.
Waters is the darkest most depressing musical genius that ever lived .
Why the hell is Gomer Pyle USMC at 3:01
There's somebody else needs taking care of in Washington.
I've got 300 channels of shit fake news on the tv too choose from,and a strong urge to fly.
Go through a bad break up and watch the wall .....lol
Jesus sleep what plant! Mont pains no horticulturalist!
All of the haves n the 1 have not
2019 and i have a great depression
Gosh i love floyd theyre so unique!

You can see the summit, but you can't reach it. It's the last piece of the puzzle but you just can't make it fit. 🤷♀️
i find beauty and enlightenment in these 3 minutes and 24 seconds .. its only when the song is over that i realize there is still nobody home.
i love this song
beautiful song!!!!
Love yah 🌹 Pinky's 😘 🎸🎼 🎸🎵
Minute 0:17 If I didn't read this. I could have sworn he screamed "That little brat has a pine cheese". I have a puppet hedgehog and named it Pine Cheese to tribute to this song. Thank you for posting. Peace!
r/askReddit brought me here
I like that song
i think this song was written on the airplane
Smart lyrics and beautiful music...ageless...
But I got no where to fly to............
I can't find the perfect words, but this song is so deep to me.
Nuff said ...
i got a little black book with my poems in
3:00 in the background it's a bad southern accent going SURPRISE SURPRISE SURPRISE!!!
A rarely heard n greatly under appreciated masterpiece,got a little black book with my poems in it
kaneh bosem seed burns
silver spoon is a chain of the evil one
"I've got inevitable pinhole burns, all down the front of my favorite satin shirt"As someone who spent way too much time with drugs, that shit is haunting. 'inevitable pinhole burns' he's passing out with a smoke in his mouth, and it's a unavoidable. It's beyond unavoidable. It's a way of life for him now and it's expected. Goddamn, every lyric here is incredible.

I VE GOT A LITTLE BLACK BOOK WITH MY POEMS IN !
NOBODY HOME (No hay nadie en casa) - ROGER WATERS
Tengo una pequeña libreta negra con mis poemas
Tengo un estuche con un cepillo de dientes y una peineta
A veces, cuando soy un buen perro, ellos suelen tirarme un hueso
Tengo mis zapatos sujetos con tiras elásticas
Tengo esas malditas manos hinchadas
Tengo 13 canales de mierda para escoger en la TV
Tengo luz eléctrica
Y poseo el don de la segunda vista
Tengo sorprendentes poderes de observación
Así es como puedo anticipar
Al llamarte por teléfono
Que no habrá nadie en casa
Tengo la obligatoria permanente a la Hendrix
Y los inevitables hoyos de ceniza caliente
En todo el delantero de mi camisa de satín favorita
Tengo los dedos manchados con nicotina
Tengo una cuchara de plata con su cadena
Tengo un piano de cola que sostiene mis restos mortales
Tengo ojos salvajes y saltones
Y tengo una urgente necesidad de volar
Pero no tengo adonde…
Ahh nena, cuando cojo el teléfono
(Sorpresa, sorpresa, sorpresa) todavía no hay nadie en casa
Tengo un par de botas de ‘Goohills’
Pero mis raíces se pierden en una bruma…
Muchos piensan que Roger Waters escribió esta canción pensando en su amigo y fundador de ‘Pink Floyd’ Syd Barrett, controvertido, excéntrico y talentoso rockero y pintor Inglés, quien se auto-excluyó del grupo antes que Pink Floyd diera el gran salto a la fama y la fortuna con su álbum “Dark Side of the Moon” (1973). Waters nunca ha confirmado que el tema sea una referencia directa a Barrett, aunque Barrett representara perfectamente el sujeto del tema… Tampoco lo ha negado…
En general, se acepta que el tema ‘Nobody Home’ del álbum “The Wall” hace referencia al prototipo del rockero decadente, drogadicto y enajenado, que se encuentra lejos de casa y de los suyos, y contempla los errores y la vacuidad de su momento existencial.
I've got a little black book with my poems in
Got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in
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
I got thirteen channels of shit on the T.V. to choose from
I've got electric light
And I've got second sight
I got 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 favorite satin shirt
I've got nicotine stains on my fingers
I've got a silver spoon on a chain
Got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains
I've got wild staring eyes
And I've got a strong urge to fly
But I got nowhere to fly to
Ooh, babe when I pick up the phone
there's still nobody home
I've got a pair of Gohills boots
But I got fading roots
gets me every time :( still ove it though :)
Miss you momma
My favorite of all time
13 Channels of Shit.....Very Accurate methinks
I come for your tears. I will pay for them with blood, With tears in hand I Ride. I am the Rabbit I make the demons chase after me drive them insane.
Arrepiou-me a epiderme essa letra!
Reminds me of good and bad times
I love the Gommer Pyle surprise surprise surprise in the background at the end! I guess that’s the shit on the tv.
@ Alex Read.
You may prefer your personal interpretation of the lyrics but the original may be more correct to form thus all the errors of the lyrics in this video result in this videos irrelevance.
ie. WILD staring eyes not wide......it's Gohil's boots (the original North Camden store) not Gohills boots.
I swear he says "boney"
Wadanohara...
Please Come Home
I realize each song ever written has their own idvidual meanings. But I have to say this much. From a psychological point of view. Having gone through therapy, and a relationship that was eventually abusive. This is one of the many perfect descriptions in many of pink Floyd's songs that have descriptions TO A TEE..of what I went through during nervous breakdowns.
Amazing and how ironic. 💓
Genius music. All of pink Floyd's music. Got me through some very dark times in my life.
.thank u, Pink Floyd💓
Goddamn, when he comes in with "Oooooohhhhh" I feel that in every fiber of my soul. The entire album is really a soundtrack to someone with mental issues like anxiety, depression, schizophrenia etc. masterpiece and I'm thankful everyday that I have it in my life.
RIP RIchard Wright these words were dedicated to you by bandmate Roger Waters:
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.
"Surprise, surprise, surprise..."
I am 22 years old man. My father let me meet with Pink Floyd when I was 6, now its so damn long way but I'm still wont bored. I never was, never will. Love u dad. Besides, when I open my eyes lonely after sleep. Always this song stuck in my head..
criminally under-rated classic , why has this song not got more views ?
It’s another one of those days...
The use of Gomer Pyle's "Surprise, Surprise, Surprise" was pure genius.
What's Gomer Pyle doing in this?
1 second ago. Way more than 300 channels of shit to choose from on the internet as dump files.
Surprise Surprise Surprise! Oh shit, gets me everytime😊
Never gets old!!!
I got a little black book with my poems in.
I’ve cried to sentiments I’ve never had to experience while listening to this song.
Masterpiece! This song and Don't leave me now are the most psychotic in the album.
I love Jim Neighbor’s work in this song.
just in case anyone wants to know. The Gomer Pyle sound track is from Season 4 Episode 7. "someone else needs attention in Washington ... Rose Pilchitt ... 36-24-36 ...." spoken by Sargent Carter.The "surprise surprise surprise" is where Gomer tells Carter that they are going to share the hotel room.
Pure poetry....
The TV in the background is playing https://youtu.be/lbWWn-KUm0c (1:45 onwards)
‘There’s still nobody home’ takes me back to 16..I was driving around all night again..cold and stoned..afraid to go home and face my abusive Christian father after my sister’s OD 2 years earlier.. Pink Floyd was my family ..I had literally nobody..except for the connections, and the dealers in the park. so happy they could get me through! They understood a troubled life like no other band .
My pal loves this song he wants it playing at his funeral
Surprise, surprise, surprise...
This song is about him not being home not his woman
At the end of the song.......yes....its about him not being at home, unlike the middle when he knows by his (amazing powers of observations) when I try to get through, on the telephone to you, there"ll be nobody home.
Bravissimi amo questa canzone❤️
Surprise surprise surprise! We’re all in the fish bowl
Gabe dorpinghaus yup year after year
Losing your mind in a short sweet song.
