Stop (Pink Floyd Song)
"Stop" is a song from the 1979 Pink Floyd album, ''The Wall''. It was written by Roger Waters. Plot Pink is tired of his life as a fascist dictator and the hallucination ends. Also tired of "The Wall", he accordingly devolves into his own mind and puts himself on trial. Film version After "Waiting for the Worms", Pink screams out "stop", where we find him sitting at the bottom of a bathroom stall. He seems to be reading the lyrics from a sheet of paper where a few of the lines come from, at the time, unreleased material written by Waters. The line "Do you remember me / How we used to be / Do you think we should be closer?", comes from "Your Possible Pasts". Other lines come from " 5:11AM (The Moment of Clarity)"). As Pink finishes the lyrics to "Stop", the security guard seen in the segment for " Young Lust" slowly pushes open the stall door, which leads to the animated intro of "The Trial".

This song was one of several to be considered for the band's "best of" album, '' Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd''. Background The song, like many others on ''The Final Cut'', is a rewritten version of a song rejected for ''The Wall'', originally to be used in ''Spare Bricks'' (an early version of ''The Final Cut'' that was an extension of ''The Wall''.)
