}}'''"Last"''' is the third track on 1992's ''[[Broken]]'' EP.
==Versions==
===Last===
This is the original album version. Very guitar-oriented and immediate, the song also features abrasive vocals by Reznor during the verses but melodic singing in the choruses, a contrast repeated in later songs like "[[Head Down]]". The chorus musically contrasts the verses as well, containing no guitar but moving much quicker and with synthesizers instead. The song can be seen in three sections mediated by two guitar-only breaks, similar in approach to later material like "[[Reptile]]". The short guitar solo after the first verse is somewhat reminiscent of the main riff of "Fight From The Inside" by Queen. The end features a buildup consisting of the verse music and a single repeated phrase, which eventually gives way to the opening guitar of "[[Help Me I Am In Hell]]".
The lyrics "I wish I could put the blame on you" can be heard faintly from 3:12. The synth melody during the outro has the same voicing as that heard during the outro of "Reptile".
'''''Running Time: 4:13'''''
This minimalist remix, on ''Fixed,'' contains elements from "Last", "[[Wish (song)|Wish]]", and "[[Suck]]". Opening with bubbling synthesizer loops adapted from the first verse of "Wish", it mostly consists of the bass riff from the middle of "Suck", which is repeated throughout the track. Layered below it are various quiet vocal samples from "Last" and "Suck". Eventually, the drum beat featured at the very end of the original bridge in "Suck" is looped and fades in, eventually segueing directly into the ending of Butch Vig's mix of "Last".
