Poles Apart - 2011 Remaster

David Gilmour's girlfriend Polly Samson said that from the first line of the lyric "Did you know... it was all going to go so wrong for you," they meant Syd Barrett. The second line, "And did you see it was all going to be so right for me," refers to Roger Waters from Gilmour's view.

The first part of this song is mainly a reference to Syd Barrett, while the second part is about Roger Waters - "I thought of you, and the years and all the sadness fell away from me." A lot of the songs on The Division Bell appear to be based on the band's now tumultuous relationship with ex-member Waters.
