Pink Floyd - Nobody Home (cover)

Cover of Pink Floyd - Nobody Home, from the motion picture 'The Wall'.

UPDATE: August 4th, 2008

Thanks to everyone for all their comments and for listening to this. Your kind words have really spurred me to keep practicing. I hope to post some more tunes soon. There have been a lot of requests for sheet music to this. Unfortunately, I learned it all by ear and have none to share. If I ever do come across the music, I'll keep you all in mind. Best wishes! --Tim

***Lyrics***

I've got a little black book with my poems in
I've got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in
When I'm a good dog they sometimes throw me a bone in
I got elastic bands keeping my shoes on
Got those swollen hand blues.
Got thirteen channels of shit on the T.V. to choose from.
I've got electric light
And I've got second sight
I've got amazing powers of observation
And that is how I know
When I try to get through
On the telephone to you
There'll be nobody home

I've got the obligatory Hendrix perm
And I've got the inevitable pinhole burns
All down the front of my favourite satin shirt
I've got nicotine stains on my fingers
I've got a silver spoon on a chain
I've got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains
I've got wild staring eyes
I've got a strong urge to fly
But I got nowhere to fly to-fly to-fly to-fly to

Ooooh Babe when I pick up the phone
("surprise, surprise, surprise")
There's still nobody home
I've got a pair of Gohill's boots
And I've got fading roots.

@AgentAtfe Hey there. Thanks for listening, and for the kind words.

[Abonanno24601]

i like you transposed it to a higher key.

[timokc]

@Abonanno24601 Thanks for watching. Yeah, I had to move it to a slightly different key, as I couldn't really sing it in Roger's range. I actually think I might have transposed it down a step, just so I could hit (barely) that high note. Technology, especially transpose keys on keyboards, is a good thing. :) Best wishes.

your not a piano player? Bull. you played it like a champ

[timokc]

@Mrzeede117 Very kind of you to say. What this video doesn't show is the twelve takes before this where I flubbed the piano part. I think that, at the point I did this take, I had given up on making it all the way through. Anyways, all the views and kind words here have inspired me to become a better piano player... hard to believe four years have passed. Best wishes.
