Lost for Words (Pink Floyd song)

It appears as the penultimate track on the album. The lyrics, mostly penned by Samson, are a bitterly sarcastic reflection on Gilmour's then-strained relationship with former bandmate Roger Waters. ^{[citation needed]} The song was released to US rock radio the week of the album's release,^[1] succeeding "Keep Talking", the previous promotional release, released the week before.
