“The Last Few Bricks“ is an instrumental bridge/medley used by Pink Floyd and Roger Waters at The Wall live shows, between “Another Brick in the Wall (Part III)“ and “Goodbye Cruel World“. The piece doesn't have a strict composition, varying from venue to venue, but it usually contained themes from “The Happiest Days of Our Lives“, “Don't Leave Me Now“, “Young Lust“, “Empty Spaces“, and occasionally, when the bricklayers were running especially late, a jam (in the jazzier style of the earlier, improv-oriented Floyd) similar to “Any Colour You Like“ (D minor to G major), was played. The themes from “Don't Leave Me Now“ and “Young Lust“ were transposed down a whole step, so, like much of the album, “The Last Few Bricks“ is in D minor—which leads to a “brightening“ effect, when “Goodbye Cruel World“ begins in the parallel key of D major.
