Waters, Roger - The Fallout Lyrics






[Man:] "Blimey! I...I suppose...that was it."
[Woman:] "Wasn't it light?"
[Man:] "Yea, terrific. You--you get terrific light with those bombs.
Listen! A dog!"

[Woman:] "What does the fallout look like, dear?"

[Man:] "Fallout? The government director neglected to mention what it would look like.
I expect it would look a bit like snow does, only gray.
Very quiet. I expect they're all are having a good lie-in after the bombing."

[Woman:] "Terrible smell of burning."
[Man:] "Well, yes. Well there's bound to be. That's logical..."
[Woman:] "It's like...roast meat."
[Man:] "Yes, it does. I expect everybody will be having their Sunday
dinner a bit early this week, due to the unexpected circumstances..."

[Man:] "A cloud coming up. Looks like rain. We'll be alright for water now for a while, my dear."
[Woman:] "Do you think rainwater is alright to drink?"
[Man:] "Well, yes, of course it is. There's nothing purer than rainwater, is there? Everybody knows that."

[Woman:] "Oh, look! My hair's coming out."

    Part of my dead😊

    Si David Gilmour tuviera las letras de Waters... sería Pink Floyd

    fai schifffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

  4. B.... S....

    With a glass inlaid with gemstones
    On a pool around the evening
    Among the perfumed roses
    Wait for her
    With the patience of a packhorse loaded for the mountains
    Like a stoic, noble prince
    Wait for her
    With seven pillows laid out on the stair
    The scent of womens' incense fills the air
    Be calm, and wait for her
    And do not flush the sparrows that are nesting in her braids
    All along the barricades
    Wait for her

    [Chorus]
    And if she comes soon
    Wait for her
    And if she comes late
    Wait

    [Verse 2]
    Let her be still as a summer afternoon
    A garden in full bloom
    Let her breathe in the air that is foreign to her heart
    Let her lips part
    Wait for her
    Take her to the balcony, see the moon soaked in milk
    Hear the rustle of her silk
    Wait for her
    Don't let your eyes alight upon the twin doves of her breast
    Lest they take flight
    Wait for her

    [Chorus]
    And if she comes soon
    Wait for her
    And if she comes late
    Wait

    [Verse 3]
    Serve her water before wine
    Do not touch her hand
    Let your fingertips rest at her command
    Speak softly as a flute would to a fearful violin
    Breathe out
    Breathe in

    [Instrumental Break]

    [Outro]
    And as the echo fades from that final fusillade
    Remember the promises you made

  5. I.... A....

    This song lyrics translated from the Arabic poem for the late mahmoud darwish one of the all times great poetry, and it is Shame not to give him the criedts specially from a great singer and an idol lijd sir Roger
    Shame

  6. �.... �....

    Roger!!!

  7. S.... ....

    Why not a single guy in the universe knows the piano part for that song? I now everything from drums to guitar to even studio sounds but piano.

  8. P.... R....

    If Waters played this with the 'Floyd https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7nXzYr4pUI&list=PLbXTkfMhSzNTB9tVQIOsrDkoc_pPp-kwn&index=2&t=0s

  9. L.... K....

    I love David Gilmour! Smokers will not survive, outside of smokers!

  10. J.... l....

    Ummagumma by. Roger. Waters

  11. m.... r....

    You guyz really should listen to the Arabic version of this magnificent poem by Mahmoud Darwish
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvV2fkhy6SM

  12. D.... ....

    The beautiful sentiments of Darwich, translated into a new song.

  13. G.... T....

    its just lirycs, nothing more.
    just another "final cut" vibe that he insists to play again and again.
    the eternal song
    always picking something from Gilmour or Wright.

    G.... T....

    The lyrical phrasing is what made Floyd great. Gilmour and Wright in their solo work as well as in Pink Floyd post Waters never managed to create the sort of gems Waters was able to write. The music is important, but the message is what makes a song last.
    Gilmour did come up with a few great songs like High Hopes and other songs but you will notice that he had help from other writers - like his wife Polly Samson.
    Waters can take a few notes or chords and create a masterpiece. The music is minimalist in nature, but the message is powerful.
    Gilmour and Wright on their own rarely say anything significant - a-political, and trivial lyrics.

    It's not a criticism of their writing, just an observation. There are very few great writers. Waters is a great poet no doubt. Together, with the other three members of the band, including early PF with Syd Barrett, many masterpieces were produced. 4 Classic Giant albums of the 70s.

    G.... T....

    @Petra Kann did you mean 5
    Meddle, Dark side of the moon, Wish you were here, Animals and The Wall


    Meddle is great too

    G.... T....

    @Cosmotés Yes, Meddle was probably the start of Pink Floyd's trek along albums that contained everything. Concepts, great lyrics, great music, great covers, great concerts etc.
    Echoes is a masterpiece

    G.... T....

    @Petra Kann 👍

  14. t.... ....

    this is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard, do not get those 4k unlike votes, maybe they are bad bunny or maluma fans

    And if she comes late
    Wait

    Preciosa musica, gracias por existir Roger Waters sino mi amor hubiera muerto

    Ptm.... de entrada ya me gusta la música, tiene ese toquesito, ese gustito de serenidad

  46. M.... H....

    Gracias por dar aliento al Evito... por darnos esperanza, las palabras son más fuertes...

  47. W.... V....

    All is magic.

  48. o.... ....

    Roger waters is Antisemite garbage. His new music SUCKS atop. Absolutely sucks.

    o.... ....

    Roger Waters is singing a song writen by a real semitic poet...then we can say he's not antisemite.

  49. G.... R....

    Agregale un solo de gilmour y ya tienes un exito de Pink Floyd

  50. L.... V....

    La Música. Espectacular..
    Lamentablemente cuando abre la boca para hablar de política y defender su comunisno, ensucia su imagen... Si tanto admira esos tipos de gobierno, porque no va a vivir el? Si son tan buenos deberia dar el ejemplo.. Pero comunista rico es fácil serlo..... Por favor toca tu música y no hables más de política....

  51. M.... C....

    I am an Arab
    Robbed of my ancestors’ vineyards
    And of the land cultivated
    By me and all my children.
    Nothing is left for us and my grandchildren
    Except these rocks…
    Will your government take them too, as reported?
    Therefore,
    Write at the top of page one:
    I do not hate people,
    I do not assault anyone,
    But…if I get hungry,
    I eat the flesh of my usurper.
    Beware…beware…of my hunger,
    And of my anger.
    - Darwish

  52. F.... M....

    Only the best

  53. G.... 6....

    We salute you for this, Roger. Sir! 💂🏻‍♂️

    Wonderful ballad.

  87. N.... S....

    Thank you Roger. I wait for her.

  88. J.... C....

    BTW, This is one of the most beautiful love songs I've heard - there is something to be said for great knowledge, skill, talent combined with experience.

  89. J.... C....

    This song, video and even the poem that inspired this song is so heartfelt, but it kicks you in the gut when you finally see her left should in detail. Most of my friends didn't notice on the video as it played, but that is what is happening and has happened to so many innocent people and unfortunately, either death, disfigurement and so much more. In this video, she is so beautiful and so strong. I can't help but feel my heart hurt for her.

  90. P.... W....

    Czekam na Ciebie Myszuniu 🐁☹️

  91. L.... ....

    I love you Roger, thank you for all.

  92. s.... ....
