I wanted to explain a few things about this song- first, alot of Rogers bitterness towards the members of Floyd is starting to subside. I read the interviews and he clearly is "letting go of his end of the bone..." He is getting older now and is finding peace within himself while still retaining his passion. A few mentionables about the song. His "old friend Philippe" is a good friend from France who spent much of his life in Africa. Roger took his death hard. Also, The "rue St. Denis" is a street in France where prostitutes work. the "petit theatre" is a place where french men take their mistresses. And last, a "mote" in this case refers to a spec of dust.
This song can be found on the rare collectors edition called Roger Waters THE FLICKERING FLAME The Solo Years Volume 1. It has NO USA release date but the Australian version can be purchased through CD NOW.com or eBay. Email PolesApart76@aol.com for further info.
