Re: What on earth do the lyric to "Welcome to the Machine" mean?
The entire song (Whole album really) is about a new band being signed to a new record contract. It's taking a jab at the music industry and how they treat their artist.

In the song "Have a Cigar", the line "Oh by the way, Which's One's Pink?" is meant to show how record executives will sign a band based on projected sales yet know nothing about the individual members or the bands artistic direction.

Into PF since Live 8 Huh.... how old are you anyway?
Oh and welcome... Please read over the rules and guidelines before posting and try to avoid duplicating previously covered material.. Thanks and have fun.
