"THE FINAL CUT"
後戰爭期的 "安魂曲" ....
"THE GUNNER'S DREAM"
理想社會的意願, 就是夢寐以求有一個美好的世界,
不惜為此誓死而戰, 這衹不過是被岀賣而矣, 奈何仍有人對 1982年 "IRA 愛爾蘭共和軍" 在 "Hyde Park 海德公園" 的恐佈血腥事件, 毫不反省, 依然接受。
"這是無力感的悲哀, 像 Algeria "亞爾及利亞", 南美一些國家 (或明天的 HONG KONG) 面對一些恃勢凌人的掌權者時, 如跟他們說: "你們不可以這樣的, 否則我會報警 !" 他們立刻回答你: "甚麼? 我就是警察了!" 。這樣, 你開始走進噩夢了, 世上最珍貴的, 就是任何人都不可以主宰你的命運" - Roger Waters
6. THE GUNNER'S DREAM
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
I had a dream, I had a dream
Good-bye Max, Good-bye Ma
After the service, when you're walking slowly to the car
And the silver in her hair shines in the cold November air
You hear the tolling bell
And touch the silk in your lapel
And as the teardrops rise to meet the comfort of the band
You take her frail hand
And hold on to the dream
Oi!
A place to stay, A real one!
Enough to eat, I know that, what about John?
Somewhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street
Where you can speak out loud
About your doubts and fears
And what's more, no-one ever disappears
You never hear their standard issue kicking in your door
You can relax on both sides of the tracks
And maniacs don't blow holes in bandsmen by remote control
And everyone has recourse to the law
And no-one kills the children any more
No-one kills the children any more
Night after night
Going round and round my brain
His dream is driving me insane
In the corner of some foreign field
The gunner sleeps tonight
What's done is done
We cannot just write off his final scene
Take heed of the dream
Take heed
NEXT .... THE FINAL CUT - 歌詞簡述 7,8/13
