"THE FINAL CUT"
後戰爭期的 "安魂曲" ....
"TWO SUNS IN THE SUNSET"
" THE FINAL CUT " 全專輯的前12首歌曲, 主要是關於過去人們所背叛的行為, 但最终仍要關心我們的未來。結尾的 "TWO SUNS IN THE SUNSET" 是 Roger Waters 改變他的概念, 不以 "THE WALL 迷牆" 的後續篇而撰寫的歌曲, 以80年代的歌詞, 可預見今天的政治局勢, 敵我對恃, 環保問題, 但願不要見到核能帶來浩劫的一天, 給人類滅絕。
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
Of the Holocaust to come
The rusty wire that holds the cork
That keeps the anger in
Gives way, and suddenly it's day again
The sun is in the east
Even though the day is done
Two suns in the sunset
Could be the human race is run
Like the moment when the brakes lock
And you slide towards the big truck Oh, no!
You stretch the frozen moments with your fear
And you'll never hear their voices Daddy, daddy!
And you'll never see their faces
You have no recourse to the law any more
And as the windshield melts
And my tears evaporate
Leaving only charcoal to defend
Finally I understand the feelings of the Few
Ashes and diamonds
Foe and friend
We were all equal in the end !
From Radio:
Nuclear missiles... the head of the US... and now the weather — tomorrow will be cloudy with scattered showers, spreading... most of the home counties by late afternoon; a light fog, with an expected high of four thousand degrees Celsius...
ROGER WATERS :【 我以 "THE FINAL CUT" 此專輯來表達當年的不滿, 對一個福利社會, 未能邁進一個以互相關懐, 自由開放的國家而感失望, 就是因為首相 Margaret Thatcher 的鐵腕手段, 將人民原有的福利大大削減, 勞工失去工會的後盾, 弱勢更被踐踏, 令貧富差距更大之下, 返回 "狄更斯 Charles Dickens" 年代的社會。英國政府理應走到外交之路, 不應將武力用於南大西洋的海上 ! 】
DAVID GILMOUR :【 我甚感內疚, 當年對撰寫這專輯的歌曲時的散漫態度, Roger 的催促, 我衹稱未有靈感來托辭。没有我的参與, 可足見這專輯仍是成功的作品之一 ! 】
