The posting of lyrics is no more a copyright violation than writing about the song itself. This is allowed under Fair Use, and should NOT be deleted. - Cashcow

Is the drum noise when they come in reversed or something?

[edit] Ending

I have some issues with the interpretation of the ending of the song. In a Guitar World article on the album, the ending of the song resembled the ending of "Animal Farm" where, despite their best efforts, life went back to the oppressive way it was. There are also the way that the lyrics are constructed, alternating from speaking "to" the sheep and the sheep themselves speaking, which leads me to believe that the uprising was not successful, pointed out in the line "You better stay home, better do what you're told/Get out of the road if you want to grow old". In this interpretation, the dogs and the sheep rise up against the pigs. The dogs are defeated and the sheep are discouraged from continuing. I could just be crazy, though... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Highscorefilms (talk • contribs) 15:30, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bass

The Credits and Quotes sections differ on who played bass. What's the deal? – Hattrem 18:58, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

According to the PF Encyclopedia David Gilmour played bass. Floyd(Norway) 21:58, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
