The Great Gig in the Sky Lyrics
[Segue – Intro: Gerry O'Driscoll]
…and I am not frightened of dying, you know
Any time will do, I don't mind
Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime
[Lyricless vocals: Clare Torry]
[Break: Patricia Watts]
I never said I was afraid of dying
[Lyricless vocals: Clare Torry]
