[Waitress:] You wanna cup of coffee?
[Customers:] Heh, Turn that fucking juke box down
You want to turn down that juke box....loud in here
[Waitress:] I'm sorry, would you like a cup of coffee?
Ok, you take cream and sugar? Sure.
In truck stops and hamburger joints
In Cadillac limousines
In the company of has-beens
And bent-backs
And sleeping forms on pavement steps
In libraries and railway stations
In books and banks
In the pages of history
In suicidal cavalry attacks
I recognise...
Myself in every stranger's eyes
And in wheelchairs by monuments
Under tube trains and commuter accidents
In council care and county courts
At Easter fairs and sea-side resorts
In drawing rooms and city morgues
In award winning photographs
Of life rafts on the China seas
In transit camps, under arc lamps
On unloading ramps
In faces blurred by rubber stamps
I recognise...
Myself in every stranger's eyes
And now, from where I stand
Upon this hill
I plundered from the pool
I look around
I search the skies
I shade my eyes
So nearly blind
And I see signs of half remembered days
I hear bells that chime in strange familiar ways
I recognise...
The hope you kindle in your eyes
It's oh so easy now
As we lie here in the dark
Nothing interferes, it's obvious
How to beat the tears
That threaten to snuff out
The spark of our love
Roger Waters, born George Roger Waters on September 6, 1943, in Great Horwood, Buckinghamshire, is a British singer-songwriter, musician, and composer. He is best known as the bassist and co-founder of Pink Floyd, with whom he achieved worldwide fame in the 1970s thanks to iconic albums such as *The Dark Side of the Moon* (1973), *Wish You Were Here* (1975), and *Animals* (1977). Waters was the primary lyricist and composer for Pink Floyd until 1985, when he left the band due to internal conflicts. After his departure from Pink Floyd, Waters embarked on a successful solo career, releasing albums such as *The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking* (1984), *Radio K.A.O.S.* (1987), and *Amnesiac* (2001). His works are characterized by often political and social lyrics that address themes such as war, violence, consumerism, and the loss of identity. Among his most famous songs are "Another Brick in the Wall", "Comfortably Numb", "Us and Them", and "Money". Waters is considered one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century, with an indelible mark on progressive rock music.
