The Schoolmaster also stars in Fletcher Memorial, I do believe...

Anywho, "The Final Cut" was ultimately a tie up album. Not really "The Wall, pt. 3", seeing as at the end of the Wall Pink's problems are resolved, but they do tie up a few loose ends.

Bashyou, yeah, the teacher was insecure because his wife was abusive, as said by "The Wall".

But what ho? "Sweet-heart, sweet-heart, are you fast asleep? / Good, that's the only time that I can really speak to you?" Hey! What do you know! IT'S THE WIFE!

Anywho, I felt like pointing that out.

Back to the main focus, this song is part of a story-line regarding the teacher. One that, in my opinion, includes "Your Possible Pasts", "One of the Few", this song, "The Gunner's Dream", and "Paranoid Eyes".

Notice that these were all sequential songs in the initial publishing of the album.

Wait a sec. If I thought The Wall and The Final Cut were related I would call The Final Cut "The Wall part 2." So why did you call it Part 3? Hmm...

An error occured.
