The Final Cut was the last really good Pink Floyd album. After they split, neither Roger Waters nor David Gilmour ever seemed to have whet they had together, and while you can see eachs' strengths as separate acts, their synthesis was much greater.
This song, as well as Paranoid Eyes and Two Suns, was one of the high spots of the Final Cut.
After this album, the ability to tell a story was lost to Floyd, while the musical impetuous was lost to Waters.
They really need each other.
