"Poles Apart" is a song by Pink Floyd from the band's 1994 album, The Division Bell.
The lyrics speak to ex-bandmate Syd Barrett in the first verse, and Roger Waters in the second, according to co-writer Polly Samson. As such, the second verse begins with the words "Hey you", the title of a Waters-penned song from Pink Floyd's earlier album, The Wall.
The song was performed in DADGAD tuning.
