Waters suggests that the pigs manipulate the dogs in the lines "Gotta admit, that I'm a little bit confused/Sometimes it seems to me, as if I'm just being used" in the song "Dogs." The first verse refers to no one in particular, but rather businessmen in general. Although some have said it refers to the then prime minister James Callaghan. The second verse indirectly refers to the opposition leader at that time, Margaret Thatcher, although her name or title is never mentioned. The lyrics' offensiveness to Thatcher is subtle, stating that she is "good fun with a hand gun;" better-defined obscenities are prevalent when it refers to her as a "bus-stop rat bag" and "fucked-up old hag". In the second verse, Waters gets a little more personal, but in more of a circuitous manner. Here he mentions the "bus stop rat bag" who "radiates cold shafts of broken glass" and is "hot stuff with a hat pin." Although unclear at the time, these references had to do with the up-and-coming political figure Margaret Thatcher, who was at that time a leading member of England's Conservative Party but eventually came into power as Britain's Prime Minister, thus making Waters' deepest fears and premonitions a reality. Apparently during this part of the song, some of the original words were, in fact, censored by the band or its management before the final mix was recorded for release. Halfway through the song, Gilmour uses a Heil talk box on the guitar solo to mimic the sound of pigs. This is the first use of a talk box by Pink Floyd. Lyrics: 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 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 hatpin, And good fun with a hand gun. You're nearly a laugh, You're nearly a laugh But you're really a cry.

As performed during the "Animals Tour" back in 77'. This version is from "Animal Instincts" Oakland, CA. From my opinion- the best version of Pigs (Three Different Ones) - 17:31 minutes long...
