Uh, no. It's "In Birmingham they love the governor, and we all did what we could do. Now Watergate does not bother me, does your conscience bother you?" They supported Wallace, who lost a Presidential bid to Nixon in the primaries.

Meh, I don't care too much either way. The only time I ever read into it was in my 10th or 11th grade History class which thought that we could make history fun by going to music.

Quote:
"Wallace and I have very little in common," Van Zant himself said, "I don't like what he says about colored people."[5]


I always interpreted it has him not caring much for the governor, but didn't look too much into which governor they really were talking about. Just that it was in a place with some pretty bad Civil Rights issues.

If I remember correctly, that was our final exam for that class.

It was just before dawn
One miserable morning in black 'forty four.
When the forward commander
Was told to sit tight
When he asked that his men be withdrawn.

Nope. Never touched that one.

Actually I think it may be the first I've heard it...

I knew what it was (admittedly, after searching). I've listened to quite a bit of the Wall, but didn't recall that song. I'm pretty sure I've probably heard it, my dad likes the album and I recall watching the film often as a kid as he watched it when ever he could (or, bits and pieces I can remember). Though both the film and album were released before I was born.

That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane - Lenny Bruce is not afraid.

You people and your historical songs. How could you have missed the most important one?

That Bloody Red Baron was in a fix
He'd tried everything, but he'd run out of tricks
Snoopy fired once, and he fired twice
And that Bloody Red Baron went spinning out of sight

Huh? Are you intentionally dense? Who is getting a hoo-rah? Can you even parse a simple sentence?


Yes.

You are offended because you identify with the Polish people as whole. This man is impugning the honour of your country, and thus, in your mind, your honour. "We simply never surrendered." The Polish got rolled, but they kept resisting; thus, contrary to this man's slanderous attacks, your honour is intact. You go on to define your countrymen and thus yourself in opposition to those Quisling Vichy French. You're not like them.

Hoo-rah.

I'm just saying, by the by, that whipping your **** and Polish eagle out over 'at least we tried' is kind of a sucker move. Kind of a ****** battle cry, isn't it?

Yup. Been ages since I last saw it, but there's some reference to a loss of "ordinary lives" because they weren't important enough to save. It's kind of the back story to Pink's alienation.

There's also a noticeable change in the lyrics in the song "Mother". The last line of the first verse (or second depending on how you count them) is changed from "Is it just a waste of time?" to "Mother am I really dying?".

When the Tigers Broke Free was an extra track on the CD version of The Final Cut. It was featured in the film version of The Wall, as already said.

Minor update. Comey expressed regret. It is not an apokogy, but it is a start. Petition to remove him is gaining steam.

Sadly, the allies conducted their own, if less systematic, exterminations as well in Bengal & the Ukraine.

*shrug* Israel conducts fairly systematic extermination of the Palestinian element and no one bats an eyelash. I guess you have to be on the winning side to do that.
