Pink Floyd - The Final Cut Lyrics






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 spiralling 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 eyes
And if you make it past the shotguns in the hall
Dial the combination, open the priesthole
And if I'm in I'll tell you (what's behind the wall)

(Wahoo!)

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 in trembling hands
Prepared to make it but — just then the phone rang
I never had the nerve to make the final cut

  1. S.... P....

    Eccentrically cynical

  2. c.... l....

    truly one of their finest works. if they had only made this one album, immortality was set.

  3. H.... W....

    Timeless, priceless, still resounds the same after all these years.. absolutely brilliant..

  4. C.... B....

    There is dead brainwashed soldiers in vet cemeteries all over the world that were brainwashed to think that some bullshit Devine GOD was on they're side. SO FUCK JESUS CHRIST!!

  5. A.... B....

    this album is a gem. I don't know if its because of the time of life that i discovered it or if its just the nature of the album but it makes me feel so emotional. Roger, you are a legend

  6. u.... 0....

  9. M.... A....

    Such a great album after the wall 🔥🔥✌🏼✌🏼💥🤘🏻🙏🏼

  10. F.... ....

    Not a Pink Floyd album nor a good album. It was really a Waters solo album full of direct, personal, political references. It was also full of material that was rejected from The Wall. It was the beginning of the end.

  11. A.... W....

    The reason why this album isn't massive is because it's DEPRESSING, and that's just not pc these days!  Great album, nice follow-on from 1979's The Wall...

  12. d.... ....

    think the thing that gos a miss is Waters voice-- 2nd best after Freddy for me

    roger the posh school boy... GO LOOK AT THE PUSHERS???

  19. R.... L....

    como humberto ja dizia tudo tem um lado bom e um ruim , menos os discos do pink floyd que tem dois lados bom

  20. R.... L....

    Roger Waters apenas fez o que deveria ter feito, este disco é perfeito ; ele faria muita falta se não existisse

  21. J.... J....

    The solo of the song should be made to 5 mins, but they only did for 5 secs🤣🤣

  22. S.... ....

    And Rick Wright's not on this album.

  23. R.... G....

    I like this album, I like this album a lot.

  24. s.... ....

    Very deep stuff

  25. T.... ....

    This is sad af.

  26. R.... M....

    a bit correction to the last line of the lyric in the description

    its "Oh maggie, maggie what did we do"

  27. S.... ....

    If it wasn't for the nips being so good at building ships the yards would still be open on the Clyde....It does not get any truer 😢😢

  28. J.... M....

    Hugo Zuccarelli, que crack. Tremenda la holofonia que utilizo en este álbum. Para aplaudir, (si no saben quien es busquen en Wikipedia)

  29. l.... a....

    Beautiful album. It has a way of soothing me when I'm feeling down.

  36. J.... E....

    J.... E....

  37. B.... B....

  40. T.... R....

    This album I’m listen in autumn 🍂 with coffee ☕️ on turntable

  41. R.... J....

  42. W.... G....

    O corte final demais cara isso é pink Floyd

  43. c.... ....

    Great album that for some people put down.... imagine if everyone was getting along like the good ole days

  44. C.... B....

    This album reminds me of shoveling snow. I had just gotten this cassette when I was around 15 in the late 80s. I popped it in my walkman and played it over and over while walking around the neighborhood shoveling snow.

  45. D.... H....

    My favorite P F album. Something about it like no other. I'm 46. Heard it when I was 13.

  46. D.... S....

    Short but sweet. One of my favorites.

  47. j.... ....

    To the Falklands and back wagging your British swords. Kill James Bond please.

  48. O.... A....

    Bob there were no flags or banners. Borneo 22SAS thank you.

  49. S.... S....

    My dearly departed best mate and role model warned me do not listen to it if yer in a dark place . It's always dark wae oot ye man.

  50. �.... �....

    One of my favorite albums! Happy to have it on vinyl.

  51. E.... R....

    Impossible song to do to karaoke. Impossible to pull off

  52. L.... D....

    Uma obra prima!

  53. B.... o....

    I love how this song uses the horns. Not only is it cool to hear different instruments outside the modern standards like guitar, but they perfectly fit the mood the song was going for, I think

  54. C.... L....

    This song wanders its way from time to time in my head.

  55. K.... M....

    Thank the powers that be that others understand and appreciate this story!

  56. A.... H....

  66. P.... L....

    I have owned this album since it came out in early 1983 I will always have it in my collection

  67. f.... f....

  68. f.... f....

    Maggie realised that she been tricked to giving over UK sovereignty to the EU and gave a speech saying go F**k you 2 weeks later she was sacked and JOHN MAJOR replaced her and slipped his tiny up the EU back door, i'm sorry but this is a political album

  70. B.... t....

    And now full circle

    The best Album in the World !!

  72. f.... f....

    When the Americans make an album like this we will bow our heads in shame listen us

  73. f.... f....

    Always brittish

  74. �.... �....

    tell me true https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWIB_3UzgBs&t=286s

  75. D.... 1....

    The first pink Floyd album I ever heard
    Smoking weed in my mates bedroom
    Excellent album

  76. d.... d....

    Tell me true. Tell me why
    Was Jesus crucified?
    Was it for this that daddy died?

    Was it you? Was it me?
    Did I watch too much T.V.?
    Is that a hint of accusation in your eyes?

    If it wasn't for the Nips
    Being so good at building ships
    The yards would still be open on the Clyde.

    And it can't be much fun for them
    Beneath the rising sun
    With all their kids committing suicide

    What have we done?
    Maggie, what have we done?
    What have we done to England?

    Should we shout? Should we scream?
    What happened to the post-war dream?
    Oh, Maggie, Maggie, what did we do?

  77. S.... B....

    Hahaha...

  78. T.... ....

    This song should've been longer. One of my favorites.

  79. p.... ....

    This was my first introduction to Pink Floyd when I was 7 years old. This song (along with a few others from other artists) made me both a novelist and musician. Thanks, Pink.

  80. E.... M....

    Hello 80s.

  81. P.... 0....

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLVWEYUqGew

  82. �.... �....

    Это Класика!

  83. P.... C....

    What the fuck have we done to England?

  84. s.... b....

    fuck yeah!!!! roll,em up! MEMORIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  85. f.... j....

    Just so sad

  86. C.... T....

    With all their kids commiting suicide...

  87. M.... J....

    2:11 is still my favorite moment of any Floyd song. Always loved it. As awful as Roger Waters' voice is, it's special in its own way when he's shouting and the double tracking is spaced out every so slightly to give him a bit of echo. Gives me chills

  88. A.... M....

    2018 y me sigue poniendo la piel de gallina

    A.... M....

    2019 a mi también

  89. D.... T....

    Completely underrated record fantastic album. I discovered this when I was like 13 and I still love it at 32.

    D.... T....

    i discovered it at 13 and i still love it at 18 haha

  90. S.... M....

    Maggie what did we do????!!!?!?!?
    comment 666 btw

  91. L.... T....

    For those that don't understand this song or the theme of the album, then just think about someone you may have known that went to war and didn't make it home alive.

  92. C.... C....

    MAGGGGGGGGGIE

  93. V.... S....

    so underrated a fantastic album
