後戰爭期的 "安魂曲" ....
"THE FINAL CUT"
整個專輯要進入完結的階段, 退役軍人所受到後戰爭期的影響, 又道岀自少年時對性的幻覺, 所產生對異性的恐懼和憂慮, 漸漸遠離群眾, 築起自己的圍牆, 躲進一個黑暗的空間, 以武器作防衛, 精神快要崩潰, 消極和脆弱的狀態, 處於失控至心存自殘的地步, 幸有電話鈴聲的呼喚, 著他自問何來勇氣作 "终極的了結"。
11. THE FINAL CUT
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 eye
and if you make it past the shotgun in the hall
dial the combination
open the priesthole
and if I'm in, I'll tell you
What's behind 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
With 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 its a HaHa!"
