Wot's... Uh The Deal

Wot's... Uh The Deal 5:02
     (written by Waters, Gilmour)

Lyrics:
Heaven sent the promised land
Looks all right from where I stand
Cause I'm the man on the outside looking in
Waiting on the first step
Show me where the key is kept
Point me down the right line because it's time
To let me in from the cold
Turn my land into gold
Cause there's a chill wind blowing in my soul
And I think I'm growing old

Flash the readies, what's a deal?
Got to make it to the next meal
Try to keep up with the turning of the wheel
Mile after mile (2x)
Stone after stone (2x)
Turn to speak, but you're alone
Million miles from home, you're on your own
So let me in from the cold
Turn my land into gold
Cause there's a chill wind blowing in my soul
And I think I'm growing old

Fly bright by candlelight
And lie by my side
And if she prefers, we need never stir again
Someone sent the promised land
And I grabbed it with both hands
Now I'm the man on the inside lookin' out
Hear me shout "Come on in,
What's the news, and where you been?"
Cause there's no wind left in my soul
And I've grown old

'Flash the readies' in British vernacular means to produce ready cash from somewhere. Olivier refuses to sell his feathers, and he seduces Vivian and makes love to her while this song plays (bringing new meaning to the lyric when Dave sings, 'let me in, from the cold...').
