Sheep Lyrics

Send "Sheep" Ringtone to your Cell

Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland away;
Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air.
You better watch out,
There may be dogs about
I've looked over Jordan, and I have seen
Things are not what they seem.

What do you get for pretending the danger's not real.
Meek and obedient you follow the leader
Down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel.
What a surprise!
A look of terminal shock in your eyes.
Now things are really what they seem.
No, this is no bad dream.

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He makes me down to lie
Through pastures green He leadeth me the silent waters by.
With bright knives He releaseth my soul.
He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places.
He converteth me to lamb cutlets,
For lo, He hath great power, and great hunger.
When cometh the day we lowly ones,
Through quiet reflection, and great dedication
Master the art of karate,
Lo, we shall rise up,
And then we'll make the bugger's eyes water.

Bleating and babbling I fell on his neck with a scream.
Wave upon wave of demented avengers
March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream.

Have you heard the news?
The dogs are dead!
You better stay home
And do as you're told.
Get out of the road if you want to grow old.

floydrocks45, that part is done with a wierd voice modulation, it doesnt really sound like speech at all, more like noises a synthesizer would make, but it starts at about 6:25

Um, maybe I'm playing this album too quietly or something, but whenever I play this song, I cannot hear the whole "The lord is my shepard..." part. Can someone tell me why it is in the lyrics? I really don't know. Thanx.

There is no pain, you are receding...

I always saw it as a study of the class system. Pigs are the upper class, dogs the middle, and sheep the lower. And this song deals with how the sheep in us all has had enough with being the lowly class, and thus undergoes an immense arising, starting with crushing that bloody farmer's neck. :P

Great song, simply love the descending guitar chords at the end. I don't see this song as an attack on religion, but rather an observation, that many people in life simply carry on down an envitable path that leads to their own destruction, blissfully unaware of the nasty shocks that can befall us all.

Uh... so are Pink Floyd bad-mouthing Christians or what is this about?
Brikhed 30/11/2004 22:13:42
this song is mad, i love it. it's really cool how they use that bible piece. rock on pink floyd

yeah, I love this song, especially the vocals. It would be amazing if Radiohead did a cover, I can hear the dialogue between vocals and guitar working really well.

i love this song so much. the whole album is amazing.

All times are in Greenwich Mean Time.
The time is now 02:40:36.
