Get Your Filthy Hands Off My Desert
A rocket is shot acroos and lands in the rear to open this song which opens the B side of The Final Cut record. Roger Waters sang this song on both his two major solo tours.
Gnome
Used as the B side to Flaming, Gnome was recorded in the October BBC sessions. Barret sing almost a straight nursery rhyme about a small man and his wine.
Gold It's In The...
Song by Gilmour with the same rough voice as the Nile Song, this song is a tale of journey. It appears in the movie 'La Valle' with the sound track by floyd called Obscured By The Clouds.
Goodbye Blue Skys
Intended to open disc two Goodbye Blues Skys is a haunting guitar/ Gilmour vocals in the middle of disc one. The movie holds a superb animation sequence during this song. It shows up early after When the Tigers Broke Free part 2 and isnt heard after Mother as on the album.
Goodbye Cruel World
This song is surprisingly one of Waters favorite bass riffs originating from Careful With That Axe, Eugene. It ends the first disc and marks the completion of the wall, the last brick in place. Now Pink is isolated and awaits his tragic fall.
Gotta Be Crazy
The original version of Dogs. Same general pace and theme but a lot of minor lyric changes and a few added verses and missing pieces. Recorded only in bootlegs Gotta Be Crazy never gained popularity except in concert and when it was released as a new refined version on Animals.
Grandvizier's Garden Party
The Grandvizier is an offical in the Turkish government. Parts one and three are flute solos preformed by Lindy Mason, Nick Mason's wife. Ron Geesin wrote the music for her. Part 2 is a drum preformance by Mason. This is the only piece Mason wrote by himself with the band.
Grantchester Meadows
This song was also known as "Day Break" preformed as part of 'The Man.' The name is actually a place the band played in as a kid in Cambridge. ( near the Cam River ) The beginning has birds singing and a soft guitar and organ follows.
Great Day For Freedom
This song's title was swiped from a news paper headline about the Berlin Wall coming down, which is cleary illustrated in the album sleeve. The song is oddly enough about the collapse of the Berlin Wall. This song has weak music but never the less terrific lyrics.
Great Gig In The Sky
Clare Torry sang this painfully entertaining song about death. In early sets it was referred to as "The Mortality Sequence," and was later preformed as part of the Pulse tour which contain Darkside in its entirty. On the record it was the final song on the A side makeing Money the first song on the B side.
Green Is The Colour
Preformed several times live and in BBc session Green is the Colour comes from the album More, soundtrack to the movie More. Easy enough. It was the the beginning of the 'The Journey' and sometimes referred to as 'The Beginning.' In BBC sessions it was paired with Careful With That Axe,Eugene with it starting and Eugene finishing.
Gunner's Dream
Rak 'Baker Street' Ravenscroft played the sax to this song about a world of no fears or loss the ppst war dream was the gunners dream in a sense. This is one of the three tracks excepted by Gilmour. The lyrics "...the corner of osme foreign field..." is borrowed from the WW1 sonnet "The Soldier," writen by Rupert Brooke. Complications accured during the printing of the sleeve and producing of the credits of the movie for this song.
