This is about the Pink Floyd song!!!
Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn
Remember how she said that
We would meet again
Some sunny day
Vera! Vera!
What has become of you
Does anybody else in here
Feel the way I do ?
This song is a reference to Vera Lynn, a British singer during World War II and her popular song "We'll Meet Again". The reference is ironic, as Roger Waters (and his fictional character "Pink") would not meet his father, lost in the war. The lyric "Vera, what has become of you?" suggests that Vera Lynn herself, like her promise, vanished. It has also been interpreted to mean that hope is gone.
The opening dialogue ("Where the hell are you, Simon?") and the sound effects are from the 1969 film "Battle of Britain".
The film version of Pink Floyd The Wall opens with a snippet of Vera Lynn singing "The Little Boy That Santa Claus Forgot", a song about a boy — like Roger Waters — without a father. In addition, in The Wall Live, the first track opens with Lynn's "We'll Meet Again" instead of the snippet of "Outside the Wall" that plays on the album.
Recently, Roger Waters has been performing this song as an encore on his 2006 "Dark Side of the Moon Live" tour
