Love the song. Check out the Primus version if you haven't heard it. Les really tweaks the bass up to 10.
Actually, droxford, this gives me an opportunity to plug "The Final Cut" - a very underrated Floyd album. I especially like it now, now that they have added "When the Tigers Broke Free" to it.
I must agree. The Final Cut has gotten a bad rep for being all Waters and too anti-war. But, I really enjoy the album a lot. There are moments in songs that just grip you from within. While other songs, like The Gunner's Dream just move you from the first notes. Same with Southampton Dock and The Final Cut. Brezhnev took Afghanistan Begin took Beirut Galtieri took the Union Jack And Maggie over lunch one day took a cruiser with all hands apparently to make him give it back
