When my neurons conspire to direct my thoughts
Away from divorce and competitive sports
Back to the place where all rivers run to the sea
Then I shall be free
Yes I shall be free
On a see-saw in a strange land
The jackdaw sat on the Cardinal's hand
And the fiddlers played
And the planners plan what would be
On a back seat in a court room
Sat Molly Malone and Leopold Bloom
Until the police came down with a new broom
And swept them clean
Like Geronimo
Like Quinn the Eskimo
Like the Blackfoot
And like the Arapaho
Like Crazy Horse
I'll be the last one to lay down my gun
On the open road in a bar room
A pick up band plays a new tune
When the coloured girls sing
I feel my heart boom
When a new song hits the right note
When a clearing sky saves an old boat
When an insight strikes the mote
From mine own eye
Like Geronimo
Like Quinn the Eskimo
Like the Blackfoot
And like the Arapaho
Like Crazy Horse
I'll be the last one to lay down my gun
Just out of sight
Beyond the next range
I'll feel the heat of a flickering flame
On an African Plain by a thorn tree
My old friend Philippe is waiting for me
Que cera, cera
What ever will be will be
When a friend dies and the tears rise
From that deep well that never runs dry
And the women break their bracelets
And the men take their whisky outside
In a pied-a-terre on the rue St Denis
The red velvet curtain pulls back to reveal
The place where the dark side meets the angel in me
The angel in me
When my synapses pause in my quest for applause
When my ego lets go of my end of the bone
To focus instead on the love that is precious to me
Then I shall be free
I shall be free
Roger Waters, all'anagrafe George Roger Waters, è un cantautore, musicista e compositore britannico nato a Great Horwood, Buckinghamshire, il 6 settembre 1943. È noto soprattutto come bassista e cofondatore dei Pink Floyd, con cui ha raggiunto fama mondiale negli anni '70 grazie a album iconici come *The Dark Side of the Moon* (1973), *Wish You Were Here* (1975) e *Animals* (1977). Waters è stato il principale autore di testi e musiche dei Pink Floyd fino al 1985, quando ha lasciato la band a causa di contrasti interni. Dopo la sua uscita dai Pink Floyd, Waters ha intrapreso una carriera solista di successo, pubblicando album come *The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking* (1984), *Radio K.A.O.S.* (1987) e *Amnesiac* (2001). Le sue opere sono caratterizzate da testi spesso politici e sociali, che affrontano temi come la guerra, la violenza, il consumismo e la perdita di identità. Tra i suoi brani più famosi figurano "Another Brick in the Wall", "Comfortably Numb", "Us and Them" e "Money". Waters è considerato uno dei musicisti più influenti del XX secolo, con un'impronta indelebile sulla musica rock progressiva.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
