The Division Bell was another concept album, in some ways representing Gilmour`s take on the same themes Waters had tackled with The Wall. The title was suggested to Gilmour by his friend Douglas Adams. Many of the lyrics were co-written by Polly Samson, Gilmour`s girlfriend at the time, whom he married shortly after the album`s release. Besides Samson, the album featured most of the musicians who had joined the A Momentary Lapse of Reason tour, as well as saxophonist Dick Parry, a contributor to the mid-70s Floyd albums. Anthony Moore, who had co-written the lyrics for several songs on the previous album, penned the tune by Guy Pratt "Wearing the Inside Out", Wright`s first lead vocal on a Pink Floyd record since Dark Side of the Moon. Moore`s writing continued on nearly every song on Wright`s 1996 solo album, Broken China.

Pink is also affected by his overprotective mother, who aims to lower his sexuality and tries not to let anyone dirty get near him. Despite this, Pink eventually gets married, but over the years, he and his wife grow further and further apart, with Pink concentrating on his music; his wife becomes involved with an anti-nuclear arms group, and eventually has an affair with the leader of the group while Pink is on tour. When Pink learns of the affair, he fills in the gaps in his wall with expensive materialistic possessions. Mirroring his wife`s infidelity, Pink (now a rock star) turns to a sexually willing groupie, inviting her to his hotel room despite his initial exasperation with her.
