Through the fish-eyed lens of tear stained eyes
I can barely define the shape of this moment in time
And far from flying high in clear blue skies
I'm spiraling down to the hole in the ground where I hide

If you negotiate the minefield in the drive
And beat the dogs and cheat the cold electronic eyes
And if you make it past the shotguns in the hall
Dial the combination, open the priesthole
And if I'm in I'll tell you what's behind [[Pink Floyd:The Wall (1979)|the wall]] ''[gunshot which obscures "the wall"]''

There's a kid who had a big hallucination
Making love to girls in magazines
He wonders if you're sleeping with your new found faith
Could anybody love him or is it just a crazy dream

And if I show you my dark side
Will you still hold me tonight?
And if I open my heart to you
And show you my weak side
What would you do?

Would you sell your story to Rolling Stone?
Would you take the children away and leave me alone?
And smile in reassurance as you whisper down the phone
Would you send me packing or would you take me home?

Thought I oughta bare my naked feelings
Thought I oughta tear the curtain down
I held the blade in trembling hands
Prepared to make it but
Just then the phone rang
I never had the nerve to make the final cut

''"Hello? Listen, I think I've got it. Okay, listen. It's a... Ha ha ha!"''

Roger giving his all, pity this was the album that divided them so much. Still my favourite album of all their work....hard to pick I know!
Think it carries the pain of loss well, in this case the loss of Rogers father Fletcher (whom he never got to really know) near Anzio in early 1944. 
I feel his pain.

For some odd reason this is one of my wife's favourite PF albums - hearing thiss track I'll play the complete album over dinner with a glass of red wine!

Firstly - looking back thru the comments I can not believe this is 40years old !!  WHAT!!  This is one of the best tracks on a very Roger Waters album - whatever RW may think of DG - he is a great guitar player and is outstanding on this track - As always I ahve to thank RP for playing these tracks - I'm going to ahve to give this a 10 now!!

David Gilmour's birthday yesterday. Happy 77th David. I thank you for all of the joy you have brought to me through your music. 
You probably do not rate this song very highly in all of Pink Floyd's work. Listening to it now in 2023, as I did when it first released in 1983, I think it has held up very well. And perhaps the fact that it hasn't been overplayed, like so many other tunes from other artists from the 80s, somehow enhances it. An evocative, emotional song, that came from a time when Roger was at his most uncompromising and dogmatic, but nevertheless it remains as a powerful musical moment. 
Anyway, thank you and happy birthday, David.

This actually might be my favorite PF album.... or maybe it's my favorite Roger Waters solo album.
Either way, it's a remarkable album all the way through.
I know Waters is perceived a a bit of a dick, but, Jesus, can that guy tell a story/paint a picture with his lyrics!! I'm 50. it's 2020. I have a 17 year old son who's in the process of "discovering" Pink Floyd. It is so fuckin' fun to see him tune into and pick up on the depth of Waters' lyrics. It gets us talking about how horrifying WWII was, how relationships with parents and spouses are flawed and difficult, how keeping one's ego in check is critical to one's sanity... I don't forgive Roger for all his transgressions, but i thank him for his music and especially his lyrics.

So emotional, incredible. Even when Waters keeps Gilmour locked out of a song, still the song is damn good due to the emotion.

Not really what I think of when I think of Floyd. It was a staple in the dorms in college in the 80s, but I had largely forgotten it. It actually holds up pretty well. Thanks RP.

I'd only say - go listen to Roger's solo albums! There's simply no denying David Gilmour's contribution. It may be a little more subtle in places, but even on this tune, the climax of which is the tell-tale Gilmour explotion of emotion, it's undeniable. ("Fletcher Memorial Home" and "The Postware Dream" are other excellnt pairings of the two, along with the more ovbious "Not Now John" and the undeniable simple eloquence of the guitar work on the last track.) And as for it being derivative or a "copy" of "The Wall" - as some have pointed out and others have perhaps rightly observed - this is in many ways the "third disc" of "The Wall", but "The Final Cut" has a focus and a personal intimacy that trumps even "The Wall" - and this song is an excellent example. Perhaps this intense focus is part of what contributes to the "solo album" feel - how could such a cogent, deeply personal album be the work of a group? But the project seems so much an outgrowth of where nearly everyone in Floyd went with "The Wall." Yes, Rick Wright is missing, but Michael Kamen - who is in so many ways the "5th Beatle" on "The Wall" - fills in admirably and even appropriately, as the piano and keys work to completely integrate his dead-on orchestration. Just as his work on "The Wall" made it a Floyd album unlike any other. But you don't hear people complaining that "The Wall" was just a glorified Roger Waters rant draped in Kamen strings and brass... It's impossible to hear "The Final Cut" and not think of Pink Floyd. And no disrespect to the guitarists that Roger Waters teamed with later (hard to knock Eric Clapton...) but it's something very different from anything he did after, and something very much apart of all he'd done before. That said, this is perhaps one of the most moving concept albums to come out of the prog-rock 70's/80's school of composition. Call it a solo album or Floyd's swan-song, either way it stands just as well on it's own - removed from everything that came before or after. At once a staggering comment on post-war Thatcherite England, a memorial to the generation that lived (and suffered) before, and all the while a blisteringly personal testament to grief and frustration on so many levels. The melding of compostion, of lyric, of music to serve these themes is nearly flawless. Floyd was never a group with virtuouso vocal ability, but Roger Waters (and yes, David Guilmore as well) put their voices to such effect, in so many varied ways, you feel that every possible nuance is being employed, and always for a reason. Never just because... I'll admit, when I first heard this album, it was far from an instant attration. I heard elements of "The Wall" and thought they were repeating themselves. I knew the popular wisdom about tension in the band, about the clash of egos and ideas... It's not an album that comes easily to most, and with so much baggage attached, many are simply unwilling to take the time required to appreciate the work. But for those who do, it's well worth it. And RP is certainly a place where this sort of music belongs...

Well, he's not totally wrong. Matters of sanity and ego matter very much when you're in a *band*. Pink Floyd have had some experience in that area, anybody remember Syd Barrett? If there is one band member who can't get over some childhood experience, or who tries to make his personal anguish the main focus of the band, then there may be good reason to part with him. Unfortunately the Floyd got rid of both their geniuses (for perfectly understandable reasons), and after that their music hasn't been as haunting / gripping / wonderful as before.

Much of it was written during or close after The Wall and parts of it almost serve thematically as a "Dénouement" to that album. Should be required listening for the multitude of Wallbangers that may have never paid much attention to this one.

I totally had that impression - the orchestral tracks have the same swirling melody The guitar is great - as always from Mr. Gilmour - but I generally prefer Gilmour lead vocals and guitar with Waters driving bass and lyrics as a package.

Of course there's nothing wrong with being self indulgent as an artist. To some extend all art is such. But that doesn't mean it is interesting. When the self-indulgence overwhelms the expression, or when it is pure self-indulgence expressed in an uninteresting way, as I think is happening here, there's not a damn thing wrong with moving on.
Posted 20 years ago by ksb    [ Reply ]
This is the most raw, moving album of all time. It is a painfully intimate look into the life of another. But, like all things, it is entirely subjective. Looking from your own personal experience, you may empathize with this. But, if it outside your scope of experience, you may respond to it with indifference. I also feel that if it touches a part of you that you don't want to face, you may even respond to it with anymosity.

One of my favorite songs, from my favorite band. This album is too forgotten IMHO. True, Wright was not there, and you can feel the "Roger Waters & Backing band" vibe. But it contains brilliant songwriting, arrengements, as well as some of Gilmour's brightest guitar work.

Wow.. I've always said that Pink Floyd ages amazingly well. I listen to Wish You Were Here all the time and it never seems old to me. Same for Dark Side of the Moon. I think the problem with albums like The Wall and The Final Cut, which are more operatic works, is that many of the tracks don't work very well when taken out of centext and played alone.

Every time I listen to this song, I get deeply moved, literally moved, regardless of the criticism against this album (of which I think many are justifiable and right). I believe this particular song is the pinnacle of Roger Waters' expression (both music- and lyrics-wise), of his apparently lifelong obsession with alienation and loneliness. Roger's vocal shows, so does the calm but eloquent, excellent guitar solo by Dave. Really, almost desperately wish they get together again and make more music -- musically they cannnot live without each other.

This album is a personal favorite of mine, it has the same "epic story" kinda feel that The Wall has. The music is great, but it's the story the music tells that really moves you.
Posted 21 years ago by 9-volt    [ Reply ]
I tend to agree. With the exception of "Not Now John" (Which I think is an excelent Gilmour song), it basically was a RW solo album. There still was some good stuff on the album, and this was one of those songs.
Posted 21 years ago by TheLongshot    [ Reply ]
This album has been (rightly) regarded as being all but a Roger Waters solo outing, as he dominates the project with his wistful ruminations. My first listens left me with the impression that this music sounded like "Wall" leftovers but over time I have appreciated the outrage on display, even if it does get a bit didactic towards the end of the album. This title track is representative and lacerating.
