5.06 AM (Every Stranger's Eyes) Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Arnold Layne 

Cover art for 5.06 AM (Every Stranger's Eyes) lyrics by Roger Waters

First to comment, eh? Pros and Cons looks at a series of dreams that lead Roger to realise that he infact loves the woman that he is with. During the Animals recording sessions Roger was in the middle of a divorce from his wife hence the reason The Wall, TFC and this album all contain alot of references to relationships, break ups, evil women etc.

The voice heard at the beginning of the song is the saintly waitress that gives RW the reason to stay with his women.

I think this song is Roger talking about how we all hurt and how we've all been 'there' and we can all associate with losing something or someone. We're not all that different.

The last verse kinda concludes the whole album.

It's oh so easy now As we lie here in the dark Nothing interferes it's obvious How to beat the tears That threaten to snuff out The spark of our love

It shows he's beaten his doubts and fears and falls back in love with his woman. The Moment of Clarity rubber stamps this.
