TWO SUNS IN THE SUNSET- Pink Floyd
D A G G A D D A G G A D
D G G A D
In my rear view mirror the sun is going down
D G G A
Sinking behind bridges in the road
G A D A G
I think of all the good things that we have left undone
Em Bm
And I suffer premonitions, confirmed suspicions
Em A D A G G A D D A G G A D
Of the holocaust to come
The rusty 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
Could be the human race is run
BRIDGE:
Bm A Bm
Like the moment when the breaks lock
Bm A
And you slide towards the big truck
A G A D
You stretch the frozen moments with your fear
Bm A Bm
And you'll never hear their voices
Bm A
And you'll never see their faces
G A D
You have no recourse to the law anymore
As the windshield melts and 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
D A G G A D D A G G A D
NOTE: I no longer own a copy of this album so I can't go back and
check
to see if there are any mistakes. I figure something's better than
nothing...
(from The Final Cut, 1983)

| this song is a perfect end to a great album. it sends shivers down my spine. also i think that as roger waters knew that the band would split after this album he wanted this to be the "final cut" (their last album) and thats why he didnt want pink floyd to carry on afterwards. just a thought... | |

| A sad song about a nuclear holocaust. And you can't do anything about it. | |

| The second sun is a nuclear explosion, the bit about the east is a reference to Japan, i personally love the part about his tears evaporating. | |

| I agree with Azzathtoth about that kind of desperately hopeless feeling that all is coming to and end, but you can't do jack about it. Possibly the finest ending to an album i've ever heard.Don't know about the end of Floyd thing, though. I think it's just rounding of the anti-war theme by saying that we're going to fuck it all up for ourselves and our children, and "The Gunner's Dream" has been totally blown away. Maybe | |

| this song IS about nuclear holcaust. ROGER said it himself and i think its obvious also. the sun in the east in the a-bomb, "we were all equal IN THE END", "could be the human race is run" (run out). the "panic attack idea is awesome piper. ROGER is simply comparing the 2 and there similarities. also, "as the windshield melts" is another obvious reference. this song is another great example of ROGERS ' amazing powers of obsevation.....vation....vation), and beautiful way with words. | |

| alaturk, you can find this song on The Final Cut, which in my opinion, is the last really good Pink Floyd album. The synthesis of Roger Waters and David Gilmour & Nick Mason provided a whole that was much greater than the sum of its' parts. The following release, "A Momentary Lapse Of Reason" lacked the unifying thematic concepts of Waters, while Waters' own release "Radio KAOS", lacked the musical strength of Mason and Gilmour. Gilmours' solo album, "About Face" was an excellent body of work as well, although you can see again where the songs lack a concept or theme to link them (unlike "The Wall", "Wish You Were Here", or "The Final Cut"). | |

| I've always felt this entire album was underrated. The Final Cut was one of Pink Floyds' best works, but unfortunately overshadowed by other albums (I admit, they are also good) "The Wall", "Dark Side Of The Moon", and ""Wish You Were Here". "Two Suns" was my second favorite song off this album, right after "Not Now John". The song, painting a picture of nuclear holocaust, makes a nice addition to the rest of the Soldiers' Post-War dream. Roger Waters had an amazing ability to make a cohesive thematic concept album, something Pink Floyd lacks without him. | |

| Incredible, piperatthewall. I suppose there is somewhat of a panic element, but I think it's less panicking than sort of fearful resignedness. I suppose the panic thing makes sense in terms of the individual lines, though... Still, this is a pretty blatant example of taking a small part of a whole, examining them out of context, and drawing conclusions that have little to do what was actually meant. Reminds me of creationist literature... | |

| Not only was this a terrific album, lately I have seen it's relevance greatly enhanced now that we are living life with daily poltical corruption in the US Government and Presidency, and how they have created a whole life with war when none was necessary. There are many war undertones (mainly World War II) on The Wall and on The Final Cut. That's just my opionion, but I am sticking to it. | |

| Your dad told you to head to the basement if you say a second sun? sorry but your dad is a moron! A nuclear explosion isn't a spot of light floating in a blue sky you moron! like the moment when the brakes lock and you slide towards the big truck 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 Yes I liked this part too. I like how Waters incorperates snatchs of conversation as well...the "oh no" bit sounds really good. Great song from a great album. Dom I thought about that too..I think it's quite neat Waters named it the Final Cut. It pretty much was the final cut for Floyd because after Waters left it turned to shit. | |

| personally, i believe this song describes a panic attack. the man is driving down the road at sunset. he reminisces, and wonders, thinks about where hes going from here emotionally. then, the panic sets in. (like the moment when the brakes lock, and you slide towards the big truck, you stretch the frozen moments with your fear). as many people feel when they have a panic attack, they feel that they are either going to die, or go insane.he has no recourse to the law anymore. most panic attacks last but a few minutes, but it seems like forever. as hes coming down off of it, he has reminded himself that perhaps he is insane or crazy, but it is not a crime. this is the way he is. | |
