| ch0gan is most definitely correct, it is about an axe-murder. But one thing, I feel that the slow, quiet part is a killer and someone he knows sitting down and having a silent, sort of awkward moment. Then Eugene grabs an axe, not knowing what's going on, the victim says "careful with that axe, Eugene." The intense part is the actual killing.....blah....blah....blah | |

| It's craaaaaaaazy! Very improv-sounding, with the guitar and organ. Sounds like some of The Doors' work, but much higher quality because it's Pink Floyd. Great vocal solo by Roger with the screaming madness! | |

| Pompei This song reminds me of when a friend of mine was on shrooms and randomly picked up an axe from the side of the house and started walking around with it. | |

| Well...don't need new friends anymore. I've converted them *mwahahahahaha* Granted only 2 of them like any, and that's just Dark Side of the Moon, but progress is progress And I wouldn't suggest to anyone that they listen to it on their own in a dark room, but what can I say? I'm a masochist, and it was...an experience. Actually less scary that Several Species... | |

| yeah, you probably shouldn't of listened to it in the dark... on second thought... you should listen to it in the dark. it probably has a better effect. *turns off lights and listens to 'Careful With That Axe, Eugene'* | |
