~ Recording by Roger Waters

This edit of the track is found on a Dutch pressed CD has some slightly different track splits when compared to other versions.
Lengths of tracks 2,3,4 seem to have been "corrected" to better fit the lyrics.
Track two is cut at 3:22 before "Arabs with knifes at the foot of the bed". Other editions add this onto the end of Running Shoes. (which seems wrong)
Track three therefore fits the title and starts with "Arabs with knifes at the foot of the bed" and ends with finishing the bottle of wine and "goodnight"
Track four start with the guitar solo whereas other editions have this on the end of track three.
These errors seem to trace back to the Japanese pressing?
This pressing matches the words in the booklet...
You can spot which version you have as track 2 length 3:12 fits the lyrics, track 2 length 4:08 includes part of track three. But seems the more common edition of the CD to be found.
