That's my interpretation anyway. I haven't listened to Pink Floyd in ages.
I agree with the concept of the Stone.... the "bad blood", all the bad things he made, wich drown him away because the age has finally reach him...


As for Pigs on the Wing... isn't it a (maybe the only waters') love song???So I don't particulary join PotW with the rest of the album(in fact it was added later, after the epics were recorded).... I lie consider that way, since I always sung that song to my ex girlfriend (and will continue to sing to the girlfriends to come :P). It's simple and the lyrics are beautiful for a Love song (I think waters dedicated it to his by that time new wife*can't recall her name)
