THE FINAL CUT - 歌詞簡述 13/5



"THE FINAL CUT"
後戰爭期的 "安魂曲"....

"THE HERO'S RETURN"
退役軍人的痛苦, 他們不能適應返回社會的生活, 對他們的影響甚大, 令他們悲憤 ...


5.  THE HERO'S RETURN
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

And even now part of me flies
Over Dresden at Angels One Five 

- 飛行員暗語: 德國, 德斯敦市 Dresden, 飛機 Angel, 高度15,000呎










Dresden to-day

 







Dresden after the bombing raid WWII

Though they'll never fathom it
Behind my sarcasm desperate memories lie

Sweetheart, sweetheart, are you fast asleep?
" Good "
That's the only time that I can really speak to you
And there is something that I've locked away
A memory that is too painful
To withstand the light of day

And when we came back from the war
The banners and flags hung on everyone's door
We danced and we sang in the street
And the church bells rang
But burning in my heart
The memory smolders on
Of the gunner's dying words on the intercom - 父親任機槍手 Gunner

" ...what the fuck? "
