Pigs On The Wing Lyrics

If you didn't care
What happened to me
And I didn't care for you

We would zig-zag our way
Through the boredom and pain
Occasionally glancing up through the rain

Wondering which of the
Buggers to blame
And watching the Pigs On The Wing

Pigs On The Wing

This is probably the closest thing to a love song Floyd has ever made. The Floyd were noted as being more political in their lyrics than anything.

The song is split into two parts at the beginning and end of Animals, nesting three tracks between it. This is similar to the structure of Wish You Were Here, which featured "Shine On, You Crazy Diamond" split into two parts with three tracks between.

While performing this live at a show, bassist/vocalist Roger Waters got increasingly agitated as the crowd let off explosives while the band tried to perform. Waters made his anger quite apparent to the crowd, the result of which is now a rather famous download. It's also one of the antics that led Waters to create the theme for The Wall. (thanks, Matt - Russell Springs, KY, for all above)

After Floyd's breakup, during his solo shows, Roger Waters combined Pigs on the Wing parts I and II and bridged them with an electric guitar solo played by Snowy White. (thanks, Joe - Piscataway, NJ)
