G  C  G

                C    F  C               G    C  G
You know that I care    what happens to you

And I know that you care    for me too

Now that I've found somewhere safe to bury my bone

	I think that a "shelter from pigs on wings" is an intimate relationship. My logic in thinking that is that "pigs on the wings" in any sort of sense are enemies, but if you have a deep meaningful relationship, they can't harm you emotionally.

	Pigs on the Wing are enemy fighters in a persons blindspot. So think about it. If you care about someone, what do you do, you hug them. If you do this, you see in one direction and the other person sees in the other direction. You have no blind spot, and so are therefore not vulnerable to pigs on the wing. However, if you don't care about anyone, you have to cover all directions at once, which can't be done efficiently, so you always have to look out for pigs on the wing. Not to start an argument, but there are multiple similarities between Animal Farm (my favorite book) and Animals (one of my top 4 albums, each of which I like the same for different reasons). The dogs in Animal Farm are not stupid, mindless killers. Orwell makes a note of the smarter animals on the farm, in which he directly mentions dogs and pigs. The sheep also draw a similarity between the two mediums. In both, they are the lower classes, underneath the thumb of the pigs. That said, Animals is not based on Animal Farm, it is inspired by it. They do not tell the same story, but they use the same metaphors for the same types of people. Pigs are corrupt leaders. In Animal Farm, they represented Stalin and his pawns, and were also generic totalitarians. In Animals, they are the capitalists, Margaret Thatcher (a far right winger), and Mary Whitehouse (of the Clean Up TV act). Dogs are those who look out only for themselves. In the book, the dogs are the secret police of Stalin (Napoleon). In animals, I've always seen them as the Big Oil CEO types under the thumb of the President and Vice president. Sheep are the masses, generally uneducated, though in Animals they have the sense to rise up, and in Animal Farm they truly are devout followers of Napoleon. Just as a side note, Mary Whitehouse was so unpopular that TV shows that got her seal of approval were worried that their ratings would take a hit, and deliberately tried to offend her. So Roger Waters was not alone in hating her.

	Only one other contributor seems to have noticed that this song is really rather RUDE -or is it just me?

	"I've found somewhere safe to bury my bone." brilliant subtelty, ranks alongside squeeze's 'cool for cats' with 'i'm invited in for coffee and I give the dog a bone...'.

	It's clearly about flying pigs!

	Part 1 and 2 are both exactly 1 minute and 25 seconds long--one in the begining--one in the ending. I like what Iason said.

	he's just upset because BleedingHearArtist proved him wrong

alex Lead Player	#9 by alex beaulieu at Apr 19, 1991 at 5:15 PM EST
	snark I believe he verrified that fact himself. And Animals IS NOT based on Animal Farm! People, if you've read Animal Farm and listened to Animals, you know that it isn't. The only true line up between the two is "Pigs (Three Different Ones)". The Dogs in Orwell's masterpiece are stupid, mindless killers, more like Sheep then the smart, cunning, back-stabbing people depicted in "Dogs". Also, the Sheep were hardly main characters, and were much more minor then they are in this album. So, one might say Animals is inspired by Animal Farm, but it is CERTAINLY not based upon it.

	To what MrY said: if Waters truly were inspired by Animal Farm, I bet he read 1984 too. One part of 1984 is that the main character, Winston, falls in love with a girl named Julia and they are convinced the entire book that no matter what, their oppressive government cannot get "inside" of them and they can abuse them to any extent but their love will always prevail. At the end of the book, Winston and Julia both betray each other and discover that with the proper amount of abuse, your enemies CAN get into your thoughts and corrupt them. Hence, it is interesting that you bring that up, because 1984 is by Orwell just as Animal Farm is so that topic may be relevant to 1984. Huh.

	this is the anti-thesis to Pigs on the Wing Pt. 1 The singer is NOT the apathetic, broken, problematic, wandering person he described in the first part or any of the other songs, instead he's a balanced individual. He doesn't suffer any of the problems they had, "bury my bone" is just a way to say home sweet home, or joke that he was almost a dog. But he knows what's out there and watches for it.

Curtis Rhythm Player	#12 by Curtis Lee at Sep 7, 1997 at 5:15 AM EST
	No, it's not about a woman. Just because you have an estimation doesn't mean it's undoubtfully and definately true. the whole album: Animals, is based from a book

	Both of the Pigs On The Wing songs were love songs for Roger Waters' wife. The line about the dog needing a home refers to the fact he thinks of himself as a bit of a dog.

Kieran Average	#14 by Kieran Molloy at May 25, 2006 at 7:46 AM EST
	You may be right, but I don't care. I just shut the fuck up and listen to it, like all these whining little bitches barking at one another on these messageboards should do.

justin Average	#15 by justin tompkins at Mar 12, 2007 at 6:28 PM EST
	You say "based from", I say "inspired". Potato, potahto, tomato, tomahto, let's call the whole thing off!

	Don't try to start stuff.
