1.  Pigs on the Wing 1


[Verse: Roger Waters]
If you didn't care what happened to me
And I didn't care for you
We would zigzag our way through the boredom and pain
Occasionally glancing up through the rain
Wondering which of the buggers to blame
And watching for pigs on the wing


2.  Dogs


[Verse 1: David Gilmour]
You got to be crazy, you gotta have a real need
Gotta sleep on your toes and when you're on the street
Got to be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed
Then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight
You got to strike when the moment is right
Without thinking
And after a while, you can work on points for style
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to
So that when they turn their backs on you
You'll get the chance to put the knife in

[Guitar Solo]

[Interlude: Roger Waters]
(Wah! *laughter*)

[Verse 2: David Gilmour]
You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder
You know, it's going to get harder, harder and harder
As you get older
Yeah, and in the end you'll pack up, fly down south
Hide your head in the sand
Just another sad old man, all alone and dying of cancer

[Guitar Solo]

[Interlude]
*dogs barking and howling*

[Verse 3: David Gilmour, David Gilmour & Richard Wright]
And when you lose control
You'll reap the harvest you have sown
And as the fear grows
The bad blood slows and turns to stone
And it's too late to lose the weight
You used to need to throw around
So have a good drown as you go down all alone
Dragged down by the stone


[Interlude]
*dogs barking and howling*

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4: Roger Waters]
Got to admit that I'm a little bit confused
Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used
Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off
This creeping malaise
If I don't stand my own ground
How can I find my way out of this maze
Deaf, dumb and blind, you just keep on pretending
That everyone's expendable and no one has a real friend
And it seems to you the thing to do
Would be to isolate the winner
Everything's done under the sun
But you believe at heart everyone's a killer

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro: Roger Waters]
Who was born in a house full of pain
Who was trained not to spit in the fan
Who was told what to do by the man
Who was broken by trained personnel
Who was fitted with collar and chain
Who was given a pat on the back
Who was breaking away from the pack? (Breaking away from the pack)
Who was only a stranger at home? (Only a stranger at home)
Who was ground down in the end? (Ground down in the end)
Who was found dead on the phone? (Found dead on the phone)
Who was dragged down by the stone
Who was dragged down by the stone


3.  Pigs (Three Different Ones)


[Intro]
*pig snorting*

[Verse 1]
Big man, pig man,
You well-heeled big wheel,
And when your hand is on your heart

[Pre-Chorus]
You're nearly a good laugh, almost a joker
With your head down in the pig bin,
Pig stain on your fat chin,
Down in the pig mine

[Chorus]
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh, but you're really a cry

[Verse 2]
Bus stop rat bag,
You fucked up, old hag,
You radiate cold shafts of broken glass

[Pre-Chorus]
You're nearly a good laugh, almost worth a quick grin
You like the feel of steel, you're hot stuff with a hatpin
And good fun with a handgun

[Chorus]
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh, but you're really a cry

[Instrumental Break]
*pig snorting*

[Verse 3]
Hey you, Whitehouse,
You house-proud town mouse,
You're trying to keep our feelings off the street

[Pre-Chorus]
You're nearly a real treat, all tight lips and
And do you feel abused?

[Chorus]
Mary, you're nearly a treat
Mary, you're nearly a treat, but you're really a cry

[Guitar Solo]


4.  Sheep


[Intro]
*sheeps bleating*

[Verse 1]
Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland away
Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air

[Chorus]
You better watch out
There may be dogs about
I've looked over Jordan, and I have seen
Things are not what they seem

[Verse 2]
What do you get for pretending the danger's not real
Meek and obedient, you follow the leader
Down well trodden corridors into the valley of steel

[Chorus]
What a surprise!
A look of terminal shock in your eyes
Now things are really what they seem
No, this is no bad dream

[Instrumental Break]
(Stone, stone, stone…)
*sheeps bleating*

[Bridge]
The Lord is my shepherd
I shall not want
He makes me down to lie
Through pastures green He leadeth me the silent waters by

With bright knives, He releaseth my soul
He madeth me to hang on hooks in high places
He converteth me to lamb cutlets
For lo, He hath great power and great hunger
When cometh the day we lowly ones
Through quiet reflection and great dedication
Master the art of karate
Lo, we shall rise up
And then we'll make the bugger's eyes water


[Verse 3]
Bleating and babbling, we fell on his neck with a scream
(Ahh! *laughter*)
Wave upon wave of demented avengers
March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream

[Chorus]
Have you heard the news
The dogs are dead
You better stay home and do as you're told
Get out of the road if you want to grow old

[Instrumental Outro]
*sheeps bleating*


5.  Pigs on the Wing 2


[Verse: Roger Waters]
You know that I care what happens to you
And I know that you care for me too
So I don't feel alone or the weight of the stone
Now that I've found somewhere safe to bury my bone
And any fool knows a dog needs a home
A shelter from pigs on the wing
