Another one of my top 10 favorites.Great lyrics, mood and the best sax solo ever. Go listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97LL7WuXFk8If your like any of the original songs, some full recordings and acoustic YouTube versions are available on my Website or MySpace.http://thesilverfishband.comhttp://www.myspace.com/thesilverfishband The Gunner's Dream (Waters) Floating down through the clouds Memories come rushing up to meet me now. In the space between the heavens and in the corner of some foreign field I had a dream. I had a dream. Good-bye Max. Good-bye Ma. After the service when you're walking slowly to the car And the silver in her hair shines in the cold November air You hear the tolling bell And touch the silk in your lapel And as the tear drops rise to meet the comfort of the band You take her frail hand And hold on to the dream. A place to stay "Oi! A real one ..." Enough to eat Somewhere old heroes shuffle safely down the street Where you can speak out loud About your doubts and fears And what's more no-one ever disappears You never hear their standard issue kicking in your door. You can relax on both sides of the tracks And maniacs don't blow holes in bandsmen by remote control And everyone has recourse to the law And no-one kills the children anymore. And no one kills the children anymore. Night after night Going round and round my brain His dream is driving me insane. In the corner of some foreign field The gunner sleeps tonight. What's done is done. We cannot just write off his final scene. Take heed of his dream.

Nov 22, 2008 - I think I understand what robekaz means. Allow me, I studied Shit at college. Ahem!...'Somebody WHO knEw the original version, heArdD yesterday WHEN IT was a different song, WOULD BE pleaseD,caLmED down,nice but still shit. All ?'I think it's a profoundly artistic way of saying 'well done and thanks Mr Silverfish'.

Nov 22, 2008 - Once more I see my endeavours to study Shit at college were not a complete waste of time. Either that or robekaz is an escaped genetically engineered Budgerigard-Bonobo cross."la,la,lalala,shit is shit" Can you perform this for me?" Anyone got a mirror with a bell attached and a banana? I have a cunning plan....

Nov 22, 2008 - I wouldn't have thought it was possible to do such a good job with a 1 man performance. I was especially impressed by your vocal "sax" solo. Got any more of these covers lying around? I'm gonna hunt YT for them...

Nov 22, 2008 - one of my favourites from the final cut, which is another masterpiece from pink floyd..very good cover..
Jethro719 Says:
Nov 22, 2008 - Brave to tackle this song and you pulled it off. Only die hard Pink Floyd fans know anything off The Final Cut. Hopefully, covers like this will start to change that.

MD200666 Says:
Nov 22, 2008 - Hi I love your covers (this being one of the best I've ever heard on utube ) and was wondering in light of recent events could you possibly do a Wish You Were Here cover for Richard Wright. Thanks
