  • "you believed in their stories of fame, fortune and glory.

    now you're lost in a haze of alcohol soft middle age

    the pie in the sky turned out to be miles too high.

    and you hide, hide, hide,

    behind brown and mild eyes. " roger waters - 1983

    "we've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars,

    but we won't. we're slowly learning that fact.

    and we're very, very pissed off." - tyler durden - 1999

  • And there was me thinking this song was just about an insecure middle-aged bloke going down the pub and having a bit of a crisis....suprise, suprise ...it's all about Dead Jews and the Blitz...who woulda thunk it? Me Bad!

  • L0L

  • last month I dreamed..I was in the nazis camp and I was nazi soldier..but I feel so upset when i saw all starving people and I gave them food...but other soldiers catch up me...it was nightmare...what a world

  • in my humble opinion floyds greatest ever album often ignored but barely bettered

  • @boltsdragon1 yup, i'll go along with that ;)

  • ça c'est une musique qui rend meilleur. (bizarrement, quand on l'écrit ça fait culcul...mais bon.)

    ...Wa!...<3

  • this song is one of the most beautiful things humanity has ever witnessed

  • @TheGreatSlowpoke u know it !! not mant people thought THE FINAL CUT was one of floyyds best but i did !! every tune to me was great ! sorry about the spelling but im drunk !! great album !!

  • Button ya lip, and dont let the shield slip, seek a fresh grip on ya bullet proof mask, and if they try to break down your diguise with the questions, you can hide.. hide.. hide... behind paranoid eyes.

  • roger the poet, the lyricist , the visionary!

    

  • Hitler was uneducated but he has conquered whole Europe...

    Millions have died.

    Facts of life.

  • @sviborhorvat Who helped him?

  • @sviborhorvat Stupid people are the most dangerous.

  • @HellomynameisN Goverments and multinationals are the beginning off every end!!!

  • moving on after a great loss., is very hard ,l.,, but neccessary

  • this song is for thinking about military madness

  • @JCistGottMitUns cos the majority of people ain't evil, which is what one ball was!!

  • gdyby zabił tylu rodaków z twojego kraju, widziałbyś za co go nienawidzić

    a to, że twoja wiedza na temat tego co wyrządził jest tak mała nie powinieneś tego pisać

  • Poor, poor Hitler. People hate him and they dont even really know why.

  • @JCistGottMitUns What are you talking about?

  • @xTheseTearsWeCryx Oh, heck, I dont even know. Im sure its something about people hating on a dead national leader just because theyre taught to and shown a lot of misinterpreted evidence to "back it up", but its not like it matters what Im talking about. Now if youre the curious sort, visit my channel and watch some videos, otherwise just go watch some Youtube Poop (funny stuff :D ) In any case, good day to ya.

  • @JCistGottMitUns Hitler was a psyco?

    Well, thanks. N' good day to you to!

  • @xTheseTearsWeCryx Callin' him a psyco is the usual knee-jerk reaction people have. Even most of his enemies of the time admitted he was far more intelligent, cultured, and disciplined than any of them. I dont mean to label myself by starting off immediately with rants about Hitler (got some on Stalin too), but I guess thats my own knee-jerk reaction. I try to be friendly, dont want any fuss or fight, just want to toss my thoughts out there. Yeah.. blessings to ya, mate. :)

  • @JCistGottMitUns of course we know why idiot

  • @1950lo Now come on, is it really necessary to insult me? Are you perhaps a liberal, because Ive noticed that the liberals insult me more frequently than anyone, despite that Im a leftist myself, but a conservative one, but I guess they think thats a contradiction. Hmm, Im rambling again; shouldnt be on before 8am...

  • * * * * *

  • button ur lip and dont let the shield slip..

  • This song actually has meaning unlike some of the recent songs! <3

  • Sveiciens no ^Rudzulauka^

  • @cropcirclesLatvia

    Opā, sveiciens no Teikas arī!:)

  • and for the record conform-icy has every thing to do with this because if one or two people disagreed then his speeches wouldn't of been so bias.and that's how i feel about speeches

  • @music9heals If you have to use that language then their is no point in me explaining anything since you rather call people names than do some research for yourself. You can keep on using words you don't really understand, I don't care anymore.

  • i don't hate Hitler and what he has done i hate his followers and all they have done. conform-icy(not thinking for yourself) is the cause of chaos not a dictator. 

  • @music9heals yet you think like everyone else, that the holocaust actually happened.

  • @Sood81 Rofl.

  • @Buckets1671671 I'm sorry you find my comment amusing. It wasn't meant to be.

  • @Sood81 Wtf is that supposed to mean? Of course I do...because it did. ( my bro was the one who wrote my past comment and that's his opinion and he's entitled to it) conformity, what does that have to do with facts? Anyway, enjoy the music.

  • @music9heals I was replying to the person who wrote the comment. If you didn't write the comment then you don't reply let your brother reply. Anyway what does conformity have to do with facts? I suggest you look it up. Or I can explain: You think something is a fact because everyone else believes it to be fact, you didn't really think for yourself and ask yourself is this true or not? You didn't do no research or anything, you just assume it is a fact because that's what you were taught.

  • @Sood81 Then I have a question for you,did the holocaust happen? (I'll let my bro respond later, I want to see what your point is)

  • @music9heals You should listen to "the wall".

  • @Sood81 oopse I meant "another brick in the wall"

  • @Sood81 this is the bro, are you FUKING RETARDED are you seriously claiming that the holocaust didnt happen XDDDDDDDDDD hahahaha omg you're HILARIOUS please explain this im begging cause i could pull the facts up and down anywhere!

  • such an awful picture about human nature in the and.

  • This is one of the best:-)

  • wrong war !!

  • Syd lives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Pînc Floyd  ahahahaha the 2-nd letter from pink :DDD

  • My boyfriend said to me once that this was his favorite song... I think I understand some things he said to me better now...

  • I think this is such a cool video and song. Roger Waters rocks!

  • gilmore should feel lucky to have played on this amazing masterpiece,this album is from the heart.when will the british public wake up & see they have true talent on their doorstep in stead of blowing smoke up the arses of talentless fools at their so called music awards

  • 0:57 - 2 MONSTROS ;)

  • Comment removed

  • The friend with whom I used to sing this album died recently,we used to sing all these songs the whole album no record playing or musical instruments only our sour voices now I have to sing alone. . .behind paranoid eyes

  • @mrsqonk I reckon this is more personal to waters than any other album hes done. He puts so much feeling and nuance into each song, its his baby. I know Gilmour got pissed off with so many references to the iron lady. But waters was havin it full on, its probably what he couldn't explore with the wall. I suppose after the wall comes down its time for the honesty and this is what he does. A truly sad and poignant album. It just don't get enough credit.

  • love the final cut even more than the wall. Hugely underated. Love if he did this live with the wall.

  • "Paranoid Eyes... Hide! Hide! Hide!" This "Great Humanitarian and Musical Genius" is now touring the World with "The Wall" to "TRY" and "Wake-UP!" the Masses into ALL the Deceitful and Hideously Oppressive Walls being Stealthily built all over the World Today. Read: wake-upbeforeitstoolate(dot)co­m and and understand, that if the World does not come together as One Voice and now Publicly Expose the Parasites that are Stealthily destroying the World, Walter's work will have all been in vain!

  • i love to sing along to this song so much heart and soul put into it

  • @johnwaynegacy94 You Are So Sick!! Crying For Attention!!

    can you make better music?

  • @johnwaynegacy94 You need to do one thing: killed

  • @fabio78ist1 how dare you put downn a band i have grown with for 30 yrs ...you fuckwit die and as for johnwaynegacy he is just a cunt with no feelings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • the pie in the sky turned out to be miles too high

  • sou brasileiro mas mesmo assim eu amo eles

  • Food for thought... which is not always appetising but should be digested.

  • c2h5oh,hey,ale dokonaliście cudu

  • The music of Pink Floyd, is simply beautiful !!... Wonderful!

  • (cont'd)

    ...and nothing more. And that's it, unfortunatelly.

    Hey, author, I do appreciate your efforts. But... better luck (and concept) next time.

    Best,

  • While I do appreciate (and hold in high esteem) "The Final Cut" album, I find this clip an utter rubbish. It should be named "Overview of Transitions Available In Power Point, Interspersed With Some Battle Scenes", or anything like that.

    Nothing makes sense, or tells any "story" here. Waters in his lyrics tried to tell us something, tried to teach us his, even if bit "skewed" or "fixed", outlook on life and fate - but what we can see here is just a random collection of "transitions"

    to be con'd

  • Most people who like to go out and have a drink are paranoid on my estate... in the past 7 months the local Muslim youth have fire-bombed 2 Pubs and a Working Men's Club. Still... us Kuffars must bow down and toe the party line.... Allah forbid we dare to insult Islam!

  • genius ...thats all. all true and we know it yet we are trodden on and abused by the rich and powerful....sent to war ,to die so they can maintain their comfy way of life..its time to turn from sheep to bulldog!!!! RW knows the pain and suffering of war and portrays it from the heart.

  • que bueen tema T,-T

  • i'm sorry for this what happend...but every powerful nation (the leaders) wanted this war...and let it happen...the world is corrupt

    exepting this all...its a real good song

  • Petrified eyes. Best line.

    Yes, it's all a game. Sickening long game.

    RJ

  • this album is dissed by so many but in my opinion it is one of the best.roger is such an amazin lyricist.pros an cons and amused to death are like the followons to this album and are totaly amazing also.

  • were sheep and we dont even know

  • I have never before heard this song.. wow it is absolutely great! Thanks

  • The hardest frame to look at is during the petrified eyes line. You unfortunately know what happened next to those people.

  • this album is so true

  • grew up during the cold war..this album epitomises the era better than anything I've heard / watched since...RW is musical royalty

  • Exyellent

  • Hes singing about his fathers death and the vets that have to return from war to normal life

  • the pie in the sky turned out to be miles too high

  • @oldtoothlesslion  what a fanatastic lyric,,,so so true!!

  • brilliant album ,watched this track on video jukebox when i was 23 in 1983 and it stuck in my head that"lost in the haze of alcoholic middle age"my mate has the brown and mild eyes but not the paranoid ones ,great track thanks for well put together upload

  • "Going over the road for a jar" means going out a having a drink. It really goes back to the time when almost every street in the UK had a pub and it was easy and quite usual to go and have a pint of beer (or two) after a day's work. The town I grew up in had a population of 50,000 and had about 55 pubs so getting a drink was no problem. "Putting on a brave face" in this context is hiding the worries and anxieties (paranoid eyes) and showing everybody that all is well, when in fact it isn't.

  • They sing with the soul!!!! Certainly the best band in world!!!! the lyrics, the feeling, this is real!!!!

  • Gracias, Tremenant por colgarlo en la web... ;)

  • IMPORTANT: I need to know the meaning of: "You put on your brave face and slip over the road for a jar". I'm going to do a school thesis about this theme and I'll bring this song, but I'm not sure of what that line means. SO, PLEASE, HELP ME YOU GENTLE GUYS! :)

  • I truely love this song. I cant believe this didn't make the cut on The Wall. This is still a great album but not even close 2 The Wall. Plus it just has that Wall feel. Maybe its just me but from a true Floyd fan this should have been on The Wal!

  • Laughing too loud to the rest of the World

    With the boys in the crowd....

    Isn't that beautiful?

  • Well, the pictures show that paranoid eyes do not help

  • I am looking for a film I saw it was exactly like this where a guy on a couch was watching tv and the tv would rock back and fourth like it was on water and this eerie low tones played as the camera perspective slowly zoomed into the tv. It was a lot like 'the wall' and 'the final cut'. I saw it on PBS here in minnesota year ago and have never been able ot track it down. Any one know?

  • The first time I heard this, I thought Gilmour was singing. Great song.

  • One of my favorite Floyd tracks. It still always makes me have to sit and listen when it's on. Thanks for posting (AND including a shot of the folks in pink triangles who went to their deaths).

  • gracias

  • @teech16 that's y the final cut album has such an impact on people who listen to it

  • Roger misses his Dad big time!

  • All those boys........God bless all soldiers no matter their nationality for doing their duty....It is a debt of honor that cannot be forgotten.

  • @Ryoken77 What utter disgusting garbage

  • FLOYD´s perception of inner war that affects everyone...

  • I migliori in assoluto

  • Its about a veteran with PTSD, unable to cope , or let his feelings out. One of the many stories in the album. Going on with life after the war, unable to go back to business as usual. Knowing something is wrong, but not knowing what it is, and being afraid of talking about it, cause, you see. Everyone else seems ok. Just hide, pretend, and if no one knows anything is wrong and eating you, its ok.

  • Paranoid eyes reminds the persecutions and disgraces that are unleashed...

  • fucking phenominal...thank you brother. 

  • MAN PINK FLOYD IS THE SHIT! listening to his songs blazed makes it a whole lot better and interesting. i love my kush

  • haunting

  • button your lip and dont let the sheild slip

  • Melhor banda do mundo

  • Actually my favourite song off the album. I realized this when I was going through a rough patch in my life after high school and I was drinking a lot-- I was drinking alone to this song and singing along to it. Roger is such an amazing song writer. During his time with Pink Floyd and after

  • just listen to these lyrics i think allot of you can relate

  • Comment removed

  • <3 <3 <3

  • oh dear i can't explain how deep this album is writen in me, always when i hear it

    i must be carefull not to break my live ... but thank you for the songs roger

  • @novavondamals hey man I hear you. First time I listened I could never forget this album. How Powerful?!

  • stunning...is this the 1st solo album he made (unofficially) ???

  • @BERNIE6164 No, Music From the Body came out in 1971

  • @BERNIE6164 this was the last album he made officially with Pink Floyd. It is also the Final Cut (pun intended) for the story that was started way back in Wish You Were Here and Darkside of the Moon and took full bloom in The Wall and had its ending in this album.

  • @BERNIE6164 i know he made "the pros and cons of hitchhiking" not sure if that was before or after this

  • Roger was definately a giant. His perceptiveness and insight into the human condition and his ability to express this profoundly are second to none in the history of rock. I think he may have become a bit of a meglomaniac at the end of the original Pink Floyd but you must realize 1} at one point Floyd was nearly "broke" so money was a factor 2} I think Roger got sick of pretending Floyd was a "unit" when in fact he was the creative force behind 90% of the bands work. I think this "chafed" him.

  • deep meaning ! I love this misterous song

  • magnifique!!!!!

  • @YVAN921 God Bless this wonderful country we live in!! I am truly impressed with the pure beauty of this album!!

  • the greatest band to ever hit the planet. nough said

  • Timeless.

  • Agree... The best album ever......

    The best consert in the world must be: The final cut.

  • sometimes we all hide beneath paranoid eyes

  • wonderful song, wonderful memories.

    this guy is an absolute genious, followed PK for 4 decades now and Roger should be acknowledgedged along with all the ..... Bahts. Moozarts. Litzs etc.

    I am comfortably numb.

  • I love this masterpiece, Waters. Thank you for who you are and what you make for everybody. MASTERPIECES....I love you!!!!

  • British class at its best!

  • aboslutely brilliant and one of the best PF songs!

  • I bought this album when it first came out and it still affects me the same now as when I first heard it and what have we learned? What have we done? We've had the Falklands, two Iraq conflicts, Afghanistan and wars too numerous to mention. Young men and women lay down their lives for our political masters who don't give a damn and the rich just get richer and poor civilians die in their thousands. What on Earth is the point?

  • @teech16 the point is to keep themselves in power, that is the elite, which they are very good at doing. While the masses suffer.

  • @katoness

    HA HA- Right on- another awakened person!!! kudos

  • @katoness It was a rhetorical question. I am sick to death having watched the likes of Thatcher, the Bushes, Blair, Saddam and all the others proclaiming their bravery, commitment and divine morality in creating and perpetuating these myths that result in the mass destruction of tens of thousands of people. The saddest thing of all is that all too many people actually believe in them either through misplaced loyalty or personal power or profit. What else is there to say?

  • @teech16 I think you've said it all very well my friend.

  • @teech16 Yeah this is an album that will be relevant for every generation. It's unfortunate that it has to be that way though. :(

  • @teech16

    What God wants, God gets.

    God help us all.

  • @teech16 Thank you, I agree 100% and that's why I feel this album so deeply. Those who hate it have NO heart.

  • @teech16 yer the rich stay rich and the poor die for it

  • @teech16

    Thank you. Very well said. What happened to the post war dream?

  • @teech16 i sadly would rememember you..this is only the endless mankind history,only a too fast to be possible change could give us a real hope..have we enough tim?e..it seems whe have not....

  • Comment removed

  • @teech16 I bought this when it first came out as well. It surprises me that even many Floyd fans have never even Heard og this album. I agree with you completely on your comments. Peace to You. To Me. To All......if we can get that far.........

  • @teech16 so the rich can get richer.

  • @teech16 Greed.

  • @teech16 THAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DREAM WITH YOUR EYES OPEN.

  • @teech16 *in pink floyd voice*, Monaaaaaaay!

  • @teech16

    Amen to that

  • I cant listen 2 this song anymore without thing bout my ex girlfriend lovely song

  • Thanks Roger.

  • Great quality audio and great pix too cheers

  • LOVE

  • Always wondered if this song was yet another nod back to Syd Barrett; the "paranoid eyes", the delusions of "fame, fortune and glory", the demented laughing in the bridge...

  • David este preferatul meu ca om,(vocea,sufletul si chitara,PF)Roger este un geniu indubitabil,ma gandesc daca nu ar fi fost orgoliu lui Waters ce istorie mai era de scris,ca PF,sa fie indubitabil cei care ofera ora exacta in muzica care a fost si in ceea ce o sa vina!

  • Fantastic album, the best album I have. The lyrics are so true. I really makes you think.

  • yeah def the best album of all time

  • what a songwriter,

  • a very moving song

  • The lyrics are all telling for so many of us............

  • it told ur mom to have sexual intercourse with me

  • @skelagervej423

    because the lyrics are concerning collective phenomenons, not individual ones, that's the whole point.

  • @skelagervej423 Yes forgotton by the goverments that we loyally served mate,the fuhrer would of been more loyal to us.

  • Really nice job on the video. Great images that wreally bring out the power of this song. Timing was great. Only complaint - too many cartoony transitions. Would have been more powerful with striaght cuts to the next ima
