Theme: Pigs: Pink Floyd "Pigs (Three Different Ones)"

Yes, I am doing another Pink Floyd 'pigs' song because I think "Pigs (Three Different Ones)" (Waters 1977) is important lyrically and conceptually.

In the concept album ''Animals", Roger Waters puts humans into three categories: Dogs, Pigs, and Sheep. The three verses in "Pigs" each represent a different pig-identity. The second verse is a little ambiguous, but I believe it is referring to conservative politician, Margaret Thatcher:

Bus stop rat bag, ha ha, charade you are
You fucked up old hag, ha ha, charade you are
You radiate cold shafts of broken glass
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost worth a quick grin
You like the feel of steel
You're hot stuff with a hat pin
And good fun with a hand gun
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry.

Waters does not leave the listener guessing as to who is he talking about. He calls out directly to Mary Whitehouse ("Hey, you, Whitehouse"), a campaigner and prominent conservative political figure who fought for censorship. Obviously, the Floyd were not thrilled with this:

Hey you Whitehouse, ha ha, charade you are
You house proud town mouse, ha ha, charade you are
You're trying to keep our feelings off the street
You're nearly a real treat
All tight lips and cold feet
And do you feel abused?
You gotta stem the evil tide
And keep it all on the inside
Mary you're nearly a treat
Mary you're nearly a treat
But you're really a cry.
