Actually the sound at the beginning is a the noise and alarm of the security system at the studio this track was recorded in.

Also, this song is definitely not about an unwanted pregnancy. The only regret is the lack of sleep, which reflects a care free attitude toward the situation. If a baby was conceived I would imagine that would be a pretty big regret.

I also, do not believe this song is about infidelity. It mentioned that "neither one wanted to remain alone." This suggests that both are unattached, and perhaps a bit desperate.

Nor is this song merely about shear lust. The author asks "Was it love, or was it the idea of being in love.. or was it the hands of fate that seems to fit just like a glove?" Anyone simply concerned with the physical aspects wouldn't be bringing up the notion of love. Also, rather than just jumping straight into the sack, the two danced, or whirled, for long while.

To me this song is a tale of an unspoken attraction between two people upon which they both acted. This is reflected in the first two stanzas. In the last stanza after the chorus he is questioning whether it was love, fate, or desperation that caused this momentary lapse of reason.

This song is more emotional than it is physical. A song about sperm, placentas, and a broken prophylactic really isn't Pink Floyds style. So sambennallick, why don't you put away your amateur Freudian psychology, take some more analytical literature classes, listen to more pink floyd, and try again later.
