The 1985 versions featured a standardized solo from his replacement. * It was taken out of Waters' setlists until 2006, when it was played in the first setlist, amongst other older Pink Floyd songs and Waters's solo works. * The line "and maniacs don't blow holes in bandsmen by remote control" is a reference to the 1981 Hyde Park and Regents Park bombings. * The line "in the corner of some foreign field, the gunner sleeps tonight" alludes to the poem "If I Should Die Tonight" by First World War poet Rupert Brooke which contains the lines "If I should die tonight, think only this of me/ That there is a corner of some foreign field, that is forever England," as well as the 1950s hit "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," a modified version of a 1939 African pop song.
