Is There Anybody Out There?: The Wall Live, 1980-81
...the clinical readings of such guitar-laden pomp fests as [B]'Mother'[/B] are so similar to their vinyl ancestors as to be rendered virtually pointless. ..

Pink Floyd - The Final Cut: Wikipedia Album Entry
Entirely written by Roger Waters, this is the last Pink Floyd album with Waters. It is also one of their most political albums mainly criticising the British role in the Falkland war.
Some say this is Roger Waters solo album with the rest of Pink Floyd as a support band, though the great guitar work of Gilmour is certainly adding to the strength of the album.
For those who loved the psychedelic work of the early PF this record must be a disappointment, there are no long compositions, no sound scapes; its a full blown rock album. with some typical 80s influence such as background quires and saxophone solos...
But.. still it is one of their and not only their greatest albums.

Pink Floyd - The Final Cut Lyrics
Pink Floyd - The Post War Dream Lyrics
Tell me true
Tell me why was Jesus crucified?
Was it for this that Daddy died?
Pink Floyd - Gunners Dream Lyrics
Floating down, through the clouds
Memories come rushing up to meet me now
But in the space between the Heavens
And the corner of some foreign field
Pink Floyd - Heroes Return Lyrics
Jesus Jesus what's it all about
trying to clout these little ingrates into shape
when i was their age all the lights went out
there was no time to whine and mope about
Pink Floyd - On Of The Few Lyrics
When you're one of the few to land on your feet
what do you do to make ends meet?
teach
make 'em mad, make 'em sad, make 'em add two and two
Pink Floyd - Two Suns In The Sunset Lyrics
In my rear view mirror the sun is going down
Sinking behind bridges in the road
I think of all the good things that we have left undone
And I suffer premonitions, confirm suspicions
Pink Floyd - Not Now John Lyrics
Fuck with all that, we've got to get on with these
(Fuck all that, fuck all that)
Gotta compete with the wily Japanese
There's too many home fires burning and not enough trees
Pink Floyd - Southampton Dock Lyrics
They disembarked in '45
And no one spoke and no one smiled
There were too many spaces in the line
Gathered at the cenotaph
Pink Floyd - Get Your Filthy Hands Off My Desert Lyrics
Get your filthy hands off my desert!
What he say?
Brezhnev took Afghanistan
More Pink Floyd - Get Your Filthy Hands Off My Desert Lyrics
Pink Floyd - Paranoid Eyes Lyrics
Button your lip
And don't let the shield slip
Take a fresh grip on your bullet proof mask
And if they try, to break down your disguise with their questions
Pink Floyd - Your Possible Pasts Lyrics
They flutter behind you, your possible pasts
Some bright eyed and crazy, some frightened and lost
A warning to anyone still in command
{Ranks! Fire!}
Pink Floyd - Final Cut Lyrics
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 spiralling down to the hole in the ground where I hide
Pink Floyd - When The Tigers Broke Free Lyrics
It was just before dawn
One miserable morning in black '44
When the forward commander was told to sit tight
When he asked that his men be withdrawn
Pink Floyd - The Fletcher Memorial Home Lyrics
Take all your overgrown infants away, somewhere
And build them a home, a little place of their own
The Fletcher Memorial Home
For incurable tyrants and kings
