"THE FINAL CUT"
後戰爭期的 "安魂曲"....
"PARANOID EYES"
"GET YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF MY DESERT"
戰後幸存的軍人, 面對苦悶的生活, 酗酒度日, 以酒精去麻醉戰後的失落感。
7. PARANOID EYES - " With background effects 原曲配上酒吧內不同人等的聲效 "
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
You can hide hide hide
" Hello C—, how are you tonight? "
Behind paranoid eyes
You can hide hide hide
You put on your brave face
and slip over the road for a jar - 啤酒 beer
Fixing your grin as you casually lean on the bar
Laughing too loud at the rest of the world
With the boys in the crowd
You can hide, hide, hide
" ...bring in the rest of 'em."
" Tell you what mates, I'll give you three blacks, and play you for five or up."
Behind petrified eyes
" Ta! You was unlucky there, son."
You believed in their stories
of fame, fortune and glory
Now you're lost in a haze of alcohol soft middle age
The pie in the sky turned out to be miles too high
And you hide, hide, hide
" Taggart! Lost! "
Behind brown and mild eyes
" Oi ! "
對一些發動戰事的當權者與獨裁者, 給予讉責 !

Took a cruiser with all hands
Apparently to make him give it back
