Lyrics
Us, and them
And after all we're only ordinary men.
Me, and you
God only knows it's not what we would choose to do.
Forward he cried from the rear
and the front rank died.
And the general sat and the lines on the map
moved from side to side.
Black and blue
And who knows which is which and who is who.
Up and down.
But in the end it's only round and round.
Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
The poster bearer cried.
Listen son, said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside.
"I mean, they're not gunna kill ya, so if you give 'em a quick short,
sharp, shock, they won't do it again. Dig it? I mean he get off
lightly, 'cos I would've given him a thrashing - I only hit him once!
It was only a difference of opinion, but really...I mean good manners
don't cost nothing do they, eh?"
Down and out
It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about.
With, without.
And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about?
Out of the way, it's a busy day
I've got things on my mind.
For the want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died.
I do not own this song. This cover is a tribute to Pink Floyd

Nein. Das ist nicht Plnk Floyd! Ich habe dieses geniale Stück zum ersten Mal vor ca. 46 Jahren gehört und mich sofort darin verliebt. Ich glaube die kleinste Kleinigkeit würde ich heraushören können.
This is better than any Floyd cover band out there right now

Sorry but nothing tops Brit Floyd, especially when Edo Scordo is on guitar. It's almost impossible to tell the difference between him and Gilmour at times, and from myself, someone who plays by ear and can recognize every nuance of a song, that's saying a lot
Smooth and mellow just like Floyd. Saxophone player is spot on. Good job everyone. I could listen to you guys for hours.
They totally nailed it - "Forward he cried!" Those backing vocals sounded just like the original, whole band sax, everyone - perfect.
wow, 10/10. if I didn't see the video I would of thought it was the original.

You are a truly great musician. I hope your covers get you known to at least a few.
HOLY SHIT!!! this is by far the best cover of this song on youtube!! very nice.
I'm blown away. Brought tears to my eyes... simply phenomenal! Congratulations.
Holy fuck... this was amazing! unbelievably accurate!
I can’t help but cry listening to this. It’s so perfect.... taking advanced environmental chemistry at the moment and learning about how we have an “Us and them” attitude towards the environment in so many ways. What a powerful message and a powerful cover.
I thought I was the only one on the entire planet that noticed there is no echo on “without” Kudos!
This is by far the best cover I've ever heard. As someone who listens to Floyd pretty much constantly, my only constructive criticism, if I'm nitpicking, is that the volume on the vocal reverb should drop off a little faster. But that's just nitpicking! I would easily say I enjoy this as much as the original!

It is so close to perfect like all the ingredients are there but it was stirred and not shaken. There is still some magic in the mixing that Floyd had all those years ago that is hard to replicate even now. This is beautiful though all the same!

Actually the decay rate of the delays is more like the quad mix of the song.

if the delays are far apart to be discerned as separate events (like in this song), the effect is actually an "echo". as the echoes get closer and closer together, they become "delays" . as the time intervals get even lesser, they are known as reverberation, or reverb for short. So actually, all three are the same thing, it is the time interval that determines which they are. this song utilises all three.
Henrique, you hit those notes on the lead vocals perfectly. Lilian, excellent job on the background vocals, and Fabio, amazing job on the sax. Kudos to the rest of the band for getting the timing right on the mark. You guys ROCK!

The best cover of this song I have heard yet 😎
That is absolutely perfect. Just incredible. Even the saxophonist looks like Dick Parry used to in the 70s. I'm sure you've heard the quad version too!
That Sax player is the real MVP 🎷
youre NOT ordinary at all... you made in heaven
One of the best so not the best tribute to a masterpiece from Pink Floyd.

“And after all we're only ordinary men...” of course you’re not! All of you are in touch with another level of reality, a superior universe like Pink Floyd is. Excellent and best wishes to you all, may the Creator will keep giving you the abilities to perform the music for the delight of all of us… the ordinary men.

This outfit is about "Getting It right!".
