Imagine there's ONE MORE SONG on Pink Floyd The Wall that is not butthurt Roger Waters

And featured a female vocalist ... if you've seen you've the movie (as I have like 20 times since I was 16 yo), I think you can imagine this sliding in perfectly right after 'Young Lust' ...

This is such a Floyd-ish song, I can hear epic Gilmore guitar parts coming in multiple times but it was all about Roger, so ... there's nothing like this on that record.

But I've been rocking this young lady's track for a few years now and I can't help but feel ... it'd have perfect for that spot in the narrative. From the second I heard it was like ... this is The Wall right here

Do you own your home? Do you have a really good interest rate? Are you bugged daily by calls/texts

From random strangers who'd like to buy your home for a 'very fair/good/great' CASH price?

You ever wonder if those people who are trying to get us to sell ... those of us with great interest rates in particular ... aren't maybe working for the banks?

Everytime I get these messages and calls which is damn near daily I'm like ... fool, my mortgage is about 65-75% of what I'd have to pay to rent my same house from someone else, and my interest rate is at least 2 points lower than I could POSSIBLY get if I bought a new house right now, and I'll be paid off in 12 years.

FUCK NO I'm not selling you my house!!!

But it makes me wonder if there aren't banks (on the sly, through outside agents) specifically trying to get people out of their 3-3.75% rates that they got when the getting was good a couple years back (myself included).
