This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Aye an' a bit of mackerel, settler rack and down
Ran it down by the home, and I flew
Well, it slapped me and I flopped it down in the shade
And I cried, cried, cried
The tear had fallen down he had taken, never back to raise
And then cried Mary, and took out wi' your Claymore
Right outta a' pocket, I ran down, down by the mountain side
Battlin' the fiery horde that was falling around the feet
"Never!," he cried, "Never shall ye get me alive
Ye rotten hound of the burnie crew!"
Well I snatched fer the blade and a Claymore cut and thrust
And I fell down before him round his feet
Aye, a roar he cried fray the bottom of 'is heart
That I would nay fall but as dead
Dead as I can by why' feet, d'ya ken?
And the wind cried back
Ran it down by the home, and I flew
Well, it slapped me and I flopped it down in the shade
And I cried, cried, cried
The tear had fallen down he had taken, never back to raise
And then cried Mary, and took out wi' your Claymore
Right outta a' pocket, I ran down, down by the mountain side
Battlin' the fiery horde that was falling around the feet
"Never!," he cried, "Never shall ye get me alive
Ye rotten hound of the burnie crew!"
Well I snatched fer the blade and a Claymore cut and thrust
And I fell down before him round his feet
Aye, a roar he cried fray the bottom of 'is heart
That I would nay fall but as dead
Dead as I can by why' feet, d'ya ken?
And the wind cried back

Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
American Town

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
i think its about several small species of small furry animals gathered together in a cave and grooving with a pict
WOAH MAN THAT IS THE !ST TIME I HAVE EVER HEARD WHAT THAT DRUNK DUDE SAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow... this was written by the same person who wrote The Final Cut...
He's not drunk, he's scottish. Anyways, he's not scottish either, it's Roger Waters doing his best scot impression.
@ThePython Actually, it was Ron Geesin speaking in Scottish burr. He was a friend of Waters.
@rick101204<br /> Actually, it was Roger Waters. Ron Geesin only helped him. Also, it sounds exactly like Roger Waters so I don't know how you could be confused.
I think the above translation is wrong in many places. Most people just assume it's mostly jibberish. I think this an account, in 16th century english, of the Battle of Langside where Mary Queen of Scots was defeated. When you start with that assumption, you can decipher this into something that makes alot more sense. For example, before battle, the Scotsman of the day would "tuck up" -- tuck their long shirts under their belts. That was the birth of the kilt! So where they translate "took out wi' your Claymore", if you listen close it sounds more like "tucked up with a Claymore". By the way, a Claymore was a broadsword used in the period of the Battle of Langside. Anyway, my whole translation, with notes, is at angelfire.com/home/FloydWaters/pinkfloyd/species.html.

or you could just slow it down yourself
you know, whatever
heed the wise words of the Pict.
I just love the title!
One of the most crazy songs ever that I've heard. But fun and cooky. Roger makes me laugh sometimes. :D
I like the fact they refer to the scotish guy as one of the "several species of small furry aninimals" hah
