Produceret af Roger Waters og Ron Geesin
Udgivet 1970
Der er ikke meget at sige om denne plade.
Det er lydsporet (soundtrack på
"nydansk") fra en film der omhandler den menneskelige krop - tror jeg nok. Det
kan også høres på mange af lydeffekterne. Det kan godt være at Waters løftede
den film med sin musik, men pladen er VIRKELIG ikke værd at lytte til.
Ron Geesin var Jazzmusikker og kom en del i de kredse Floyd også bevægede sig
i. Senere hjalp Geesin Floyd en del med albummet
Atom Heart Mother.
I min ydmyg mening, med en del mere succes.
Som en lille morsom detalje kan nævnes at mange har troet at det var denne Geesin der lagde stemme til "Serveral Spieces of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Groooving with a Pict", da Geesin havde en meget udtalt skotsk accent. Det var nu ikke ham, men Geesin tog sammenhængen til sig og "sendte" Waters en hilsen på en af sine plader.
Nedenfor er teksterne til The Body, som jeg har fundet dem et sted på nettet.

Our Song (Waters, Geesin) 1:28
(Instrumental)
Sea Shell and Stone (Waters) 2:14
Sea shell and stone
Surf rushes forward to feel the shingle with fingers of
foam
Search for the gold
Over the landscape the mouth of a lifeline
unfolds
Smooth and round and brown
See how the sunshine creeps over
thistle and down
Hillock and hump, hummock and clump and mound
I feel a
lump, see a bump, hear a bulboba sound
Hollow and valley and shadow and
dimple and hill
Glisten and glimmer and shimmer and sparkle and still
Sunlight is warming the land before your eyes
And the sunrise is on your
side
And the sunshine is on your thighs
Lady of stone, you are alone
Lady of stone, you are alone

Cry, Baby, cry
Grow, Baby, grow
Stand on your own
Holidays and happy
days at home
Seaside, bike ride, fun land, hot sand, childhood
floating
by
Wonder why I feel so shy when you are passing by
The years of love
and wine
Pass by the magic eye
Good time, lifetime
Good line, lifeline
Pass by the magic eye
Your child is growing fast
His future is your
past
Good time, lifetime
Good line, lifeline
His future is your
past
Slow down, look around
Memories come drifting down
Good time,
lifetime
Good line, lifeline
Memories come drifting down
And I remember
rather well
Gather round my chair and I will tell
Carriages were open to
the breeze
Muffin boys and trams and trees
I recall when I was younger,
world was not so small

Breathe in the air
Make for the meadow and savour the grass
while
it lasts
By and by
Spidery fingers of industry reach for the sky
Brick
upon brick, stone upon stone they grow
Choking the atmosphere, oh, so
incredibly slowly
Sulfur and carbon and hydrogen sulfide and lime
Fever,
corrosion and cover your cities with grime
Something is killing the land
before your eyes
And the sunshine
Is not to blame
Could be the insane,
inhuman games we play
Day by day
River and fool
??? (Rushing) home in a
crowd, I'm alone
Close your eyes, lie still
You are a mountain stream and
I am a hill
Far, far away
There is a field of blossom and bees and new
mown hay
Breathe in the air
Breathe in the air
Breathe in the air
Breathe in the air

Give Birth to a Smile (Waters) 2:48
Long live the child and the man
Long live the mother and the lad
The
hills behind us and the sea
Reach out to welcome you and me
Valley deep
and mountain tall
Lie upon the ground before us all
Strange are the
colours of the turf
Heralding the rebirth of the earth
Gather all your
energy and try
Give birth to a smile
Give birth to a smile
Give birth
to a smile, everytime you think about it
Give birth to a smile
Give
birth to a smile
Give birth to a smile
Give birth to a smile
Give
birth to a smile
Give birth to a smile, hear me tellin' you
Give birth
to a smile, give birth to a smile
Give birth to a smile, give birth, give
birth
Give birth to a smile
Give birth to a smile, every day of your
life
Give birth to a smile, give a little birth to a smile
Give birth
to a smile
