To understand any of the songs fully, you need a full understanding of what the album is about So here it is, even though some of it may be obvious. Animals ----Capitalist nations are nations made up of sheep that are owned by pigs, and competed for by dogs Dogs Cutthroat businessmen and always in vicious competition like dogs fighting for scraps that the masters (pigs) give them Either end up "sad old men dying of cancer" or "pulled down by the stone" All that competition actually give them no fulfillment in the long run The stone -- dirty tricks the pull and bad things they do to others to get ahead (conscious?) Probably not conscious -- more like getting caught breaking the law -- Enron or Bernie Madoff Pigs (3 different kinds) Heads of society who pull the strings and control all the dogs and especially the sheep 1. James Callaghan - prime minister. Fat dude -- big man pig man Mining industry - keep on digging 2. Maggie thatcher Bus stop rat bag -- "a man who, beyond the age of 26, finds himself on a bus can count himself as a failure." 3. Mary whitehouse Media censorship advocate -- pirate radioesque Hey you whitehouse Sheep Play on the bible: The Lord is my shepherd (but not primarily a religious commentary) Pigs: the "good" shepherd We are all just sheep in the flock mindlessly feeding on grass ignorant of our masters controlling our every move Dogs/wolves competing to pick off the sheep but we are ignorant until it is too late |
