That "hand in glove" lyric always pains me as well,( you can almost hear the sarcastic laughter of Roger Waters when listening to it). I too was more on Waters' side during the great Fallout; the alchemy of Gilmour's voice and guitar + Waters' conceptual vision seemed to be the essence of great Floyd, and to call the fragmented remainder of the band Pink Floyd seemed the rock equivalent of building a 401K retirement fund. While each man has produced some good stuff on their own, they clearly miss each other's influence and we are the sad recipients of that loss. The only thing more snoozy than Gilmour's recent "on an Island" is waters' stab at an opera. Waters' once sly and stinging political acuity has turned to on-the-nose bombast, and Gilmour's lyrics seem to be created to have something to say while the music is playing.
