Pink Floyd - Two Suns in the Sunset (The final cut)
In my rear view mirror the sun is going down
Sinking behind bridges in the road
And I think of all the good things
That we have left undone
And I suffer premonitions
Confirm suspicions
Of the holocaust to come.
The 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
Hmmmmmmmmmm
Could be the human race is run.
Like the moment when the brakes lock
And you slide towards the big truck
"Oh no!"
"[scream] Daddy, Daddy!"
You stretch the frozen moments with your fear.
And you'll never hear their voices
And you'll never see their faces
You have no recourse to the law anymore.
And as the windshield melts
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.
"...and now the weather. Tomorrow will be cloudy with scattered showers
spreading from the east ... with an expected high of 4000 degrees
Celsius"

Actually Wikipedia lacks objectivity and it's not the Bible of Modern culture. Waters wrote the album but Mason and Gilmour played on it so it's a PinK Floyd album.
Peace.

Actually, if you read wikipedia about the album, this is the quote, "Aside from playing rhythm guitar on most of the tracks, Gilmour is restricted to four, relatively short guitar solos and provides lead vocals on only one of the album's twelve songs"
This album uses the sax to create the energy of guitar solos, a technique that RW uses quite often in his future work. In my opinion, as much as I love a great guitar solo, a sax most closely models the human voice in power and feeling.

This has always been my favorite Pink Floyd album and I still have it on vinyl. This is an awesome song. It really illustrates the futility of war.
