Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Bass Rhythm Player	#1 by Bass Master Kid at Sep 12, 2006 at 1:57 AM EST
	Yes it does seem to contrast a lot with the rest of tFC. It's kind of weird going right from the tender-sounding title track to "**** all that we've got to get on with these got to compete with the wily japanese."

No Picture ricky Average	#2 by ricky Garraton at Jan 17, 2007 at 5:13 PM EST
	The John mentioned in the title is the person who is singing. He is the normal English worker abroad - he can work hard, earn cash and go out after the shift and get 'pissed' or skive, get drunk and act like a yob. The excahnge between Waters and Gilmour is the exchange going on within this person. Waters character wins the final lines in broken English are John's words.

No Picture black&red Wanna Be	#3 by black&red at Feb 22, 2007 at 5:55 AM EST
	The line saying "who gives what its about as long as the kids go" this is the same as what MTV is doing right now. its all business, i actually dont know why waters would put this line in this song, maybe hes talkin about pink floyd, or other bands; which confuses me as its a war song, on a war album. And waters did "care what its about" The last verse, whith all the countries, is a reference to war, or a cold war. always competing with other countries, trying to prove that your country is the most powerful, or "feel tough" and its all to impress margaret thatcher- the pro-war prime minister of britain. this is a very patchy song, as it has the main parts, the continuation of "one of the few", the war parts, maggie, and all the other stuff. it may all tie together like pink floyds other albums (animals, the wall, and even waters' pros and cons) but, right now i dont know the connection

No Picture joe Rhythm Player	#4 by joe wilbraham at Mar 16, 2007 at 6:18 PM EST
	Impressing Songtext. One of the Few 'songs' on THE FINAL CUT

No Picture skinny Wanna Be	#5 by skinny mcclaine at Oct 11, 2007 at 5:21 PM EST
	I love this song, it's my third favorite song, only behind Dogs and Careful With That Axe, Eugene.
