Peter Gabriel's Ummmm.....BIG Time

The song deals with a man’s attempt for success. You gotta love the end of it….where all of the success is giving the guy a very large……well, it must be huge. :)

....and of course, Peter Gabriel is always going to have the most interesting videos.

Here are the lyrics:

I'm on my way I'm making it, huh!
I've got to make it show yeah, hey!
So much larger than life
I'm gonna watch it growing
Hey hey hey heyyyyyyy

The place where I come from is a small town
They think so small, they use small words
But not me, I'm smarter than that,
I worked it out
I'll be stretching my mouth to let those big words come right out
I've had enough, I'm getting out
to the city, the big big city
I'll be a big noise with all the big boys, so much stuff I will own
And I will pray to a big god, as I kneel in the big church

Big time, I'm on my way I'm making it, big time, oh yes
Big time, I've got to make it show yeah, big time
Big time, so much larger than life
Big time, I'm gonna watch it growing, big time
Ho ohh ohh, oh oh, ho ohh ohh, oh ohhh

My parties have all the big names and I greet them with the widest smile
Tell them how my life is one big adventure
and always they're amazed when I show them 'round my house to my bed
I had it made like a mountain rage with a snow white pillow for my big fat head
And my heaven will be a big heaven, and I will walk through the front door

Big Time, I'm on my way I'm making it, big time, Huh!
Big time, I've got to make it show yeah, big time
Big time, so much larger than life
Big time, I'm gonna watch it growing, big time
Big time, my car is getting bigger Big time, my house is getting bigger
Big time, my eyes are getting bigger
and my mouth
Big time, my belly's getting bigger
Big time, and my bank account
Big time, look at my circumstance
Big time, and the bulge in my big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big, hi there

Wordless: Dark Side of the Moon

This album was the point where I graduated from collecting 45s to purchasing albums. It was first available for sale on March 17, 1973. I was eleven. Many critics consider Dark Side of the Moon to be Pink Floyd’s defining work, and is still frequently ranked by music critics as one of the greatest and most influential albums of all time.

Dark Side of the Moon is the third best selling album of all time worldwide and ranks 20th in the United States. It spent over fourteen years on Billboard’s list of top 200 best selling albums, longer than any other album in history.
