Roger Waters - Three Wishes lyrics

rate me

[Woman:]"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, er, we went down, and ahm, 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 peh.. about that. If God did take me, then I would've been in hell because I wasn't right."

Reached back for the bottle

And rubbed against the lamp

Genie came out smiling

Like some Eastern tramp

He said, hey boy what's happening

What is going on

You can have three wishes

If you don't take too long

If you don't take too long

I said well

I wish they were all happy in the Lebanon

Wish somebody'd help me write this song

And I wish when I was young

My old man had not been gone

Genie said consider it done

There's something in the air

And you don't know what it is

You see someone through the window

Who you've just learned to miss

And the road leads on to glory but

You used up your last wish

Your last wish

And you want her to come home

Bring her home

Genie said I'm sorry

That's the way it goes

Where the hell's the lamp sucker

It's time for me to go

Bye

There's something in the air

And you don't know what it is

You see someone through the window

Who you've just learned to miss

And the road leads on to glory

But you used up your last wish

Your last wish

And you want her to come home
