Roger Waters - Three Wishes

[00:15.76] "I went to buy a... a gas bottle. At first I wanted to buy a big one, but then I hadn't got enough money, so I had to buy a smaller one. And I think if I bought a bigger one, then it would have been... the way I wanted it. And then, we went down, and I put the children to bed. And I tidied the flat and everything. And then they were asleep and everything was a kind of night. I made a bed in the bathroom. I carried them there and put on the gas bottle. But today when I think back ... about that. If God did take me, I would've have been in hell because I wasn't right." [01:33.32] Reached back for the bottle [01:42.52] And rubbed against the lamp [01:45.13] Genie came out smiling [01:48.01] Like some Eastern tramp [01:51.17] He said hey boy what's happening [01:55.62] What is going on [01:58.63] You can have three wishes [02:01.73] If you don't take too long [02:15.18] I said well [02:18.85] I wish they all were happy on the Lebanon [02:24.50] Wish somebody'd help me write this song [02:30.44] I wish when I was young [02:33.39] My old man had not been gone [02:37.47] Genie said consider it done [02:43.98] There's something in the air [02:46.68] And you don't know what it is [02:50.30] You see someone through a window [02:53.23] Who you've just learned to miss [02:57.37] And the road leads on to glory but [03:00.36] You've used up your last wish [03:03.26] Your last wish [03:05.81] And you want her to come home [03:15.94] Genie said I'm sorry [03:22.82] But that's the way it goes [03:30.07] Where the hell's lamp sucker [03:35.71] It's time for me to go [03:42.95] Bye [04:39.98] There's something in the air [04:41.73] And you don't know what it is [04:45.09] You see someone through a window [04:48.65] Who you've just learned to miss [04:51.36] And the road leads on to glory but [04:54.82] You've used up your last wish [04:57.78] Your last wish [05:00.87] And you want her to come home [05:05.09]
