Artist/Band: Pink Floyd
Lyrics for Song: Get Your Filthy Hands Off My Desert
Lyrics for Album: The Final Cut [1983]



"Oi...Get your filthy hands off my desert!"

"What 'e say?"



Brezhnev took Afghanistan.

Begin took Beirut.

Galtieri took the Union Jack.

And Maggie, over lunch one day,

Took a cruiser with all hands.

Apparently, to make him give it back.


Get Your Filthy Hands Off My Desert

Released on The Final Cut in 1983, this track stands as a stark contrast to Pink Floyd's earlier psychedelic rock, embodying the band's shift toward a more polished, radio-friendly sound. The song features a driving rhythm and a distinctive vocal performance that highlights the band's evolution during the early 1980s. While often associated with their earlier work on The Wall, this recording demonstrates their continued ability to craft memorable, anthemic tracks that blended rock energy with sophisticated production techniques. It remains a significant song in their discography, showcasing their versatility beyond their most famous albums.
