Pigs On The Wing Lyrics

"Pigs On The Wing" (Part One)" is the first of a two-part song by Pink Floyd from their 1977 concept album, "Animals", starting and wrapping up the album. According to various interviews, it was written by Roger Waters as a declaration of love to his then-love, Carolyne. Both are in stark contrast to the album's middle three misanthropic songs, and suggest that companionship can help us overcome our flaws. The casual listener may ignore them for the most part; however they are keys to the album, summing up the album in its entirety in their short 1:25 time spans. The songs are constructed simply and feature no instrumentation besides a strummed acoustic guitar played by Waters.
