Pigs (Three Different Ones)

[coloradodem2005]

Big man, pig man, ha ha, charade you are
You well heeled big wheel, ha ha, charade you are
And when your hand is on your heart
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost a joker
With your head down in the pig bin
Saying "keep on digging"
Pig stain on your fat chin
What do you hope to find?
When you're down in the pig mine
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry.
Bus stop rat bag, ha ha, charade you are
You f**ked 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.
Hey you George Bush, 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.

1. Fun! BTW, who were the original targets of this song?

I believe the original lyrics refered to 'Whitehouse' (where your version refers to George Bush); I recall Mary Whitehouse was a British equivalent to Jerry Falwell back in the 1970s. I don't know who the other two pigs were (if they refered to specific people).

2. Yes, it was Mary Whitehouse

I don't know if there are any other specific references. "Pigs" was the song that got me into Pink Floyd. Awesome song.

3. Love that song.

That whole album is pure gold.
