| Pink Floyd – High Hopes Lyrics

As you probably would have guessed, I'm a huge fan of Roger Waters solo work, but that's probably not an argument worth getting in to. Maybe I was a little harsh, but I just don't think that, as a lyricist, Polly Samson is in the same league as Roger Waters. Still, like I said, it's a good song. |

This song means very little at all. It was written by Gilmour and his girlfriend, and, in my opinon, is a cheap attempt to mimic the lyrics of earlier Pink Floyd. Don't let that discourage you, however, musically, it is a good song. All that I'm saying is that analysing the lyrics is probably a waste of time. |

Once again, this makes more sense if you understand that the titular 'Hero' is the teacher from the Wall (see the Gunner's Dream). The little ingrates are his pupils, who are growing up without the pressures of war. |

As a point of interest, the man who is remembering his fallen comrade is the teacher from 'The Wall'. This is supported by the video of 'The Gunner's Dream' - available at www.pinkfloyd.co.uk - in which the same actor plays him. I suppose this explains the teacher's negative attitude towards children who, from his point of view, have it easy. |
