Lyric discussion by EricArthurBlair 

Three different pigs. The first are the rank and file politicians. They're just puppets, well heeled big wheels. They're just worried about staying on the gravy train. They put their hands on their hearts, as to say that they really care about the people, but in reality they only care about themselves.

   The second is about Margaret Thatcher. Roger hated her for going into the Battle of Falklands and selling off public service sectors in the much opposed switch to privatization. So, he basically said she's a cold, cruel, crazy, fucked up old hag.

   The third is about Mary Whitehouse. She was an anti-modern media conservative who pushed to censor immoral behavior of any sort on various media platforms, mainly television. Roger is saying that she's wrong to keep the feelings of the people off the street, that is to say, censor personal expression due to her selfish opinion that everyone should live up to and uphold her own moral standards. Roger says she's all tight lips and cold feet, asks if she feels abused, and tells her she has to stem the evil tide and keep it all on the inside. Basically, he's saying you have your opinion and the people have theirs, no one is forcing you to watch it or listen to it, so you're not being abused unless you choose to watch or listen. 

Haha, charade you are.. basically these people are all frauds. Frauds serving their own interests and those above them, while feigning love and support for the people.

  • The second part upon further reflection is about the police. Hot stuff with a hat pin, and good fun with a hand gun. They like the feel of steel. Though Roger hated Thatcher, what I talked about happened a bit later. Roger had some words for her in the Final Cut. The fact that he said you fucked up old hag made me think thatcher. lol

  • Unless Mr Waters had a time machine then this song has nothing to do with Thatcher. It has nothing to do with Thatcher's mad privatizations and nor does it have anything to do with her war in the Falklands all of which are literally years away.
