| U2 – Alex Descends Into Hell for a Bottle of Milk/Korova 1 Lyrics

Blackwell - is right. This is a Clockwork Orange reference. The Main character ALEX is a hoodlum. The writer is F. Alexander. The two are a mirror image of what happens in life when you allow an orange to grow from it's youthful bitterness to it's adult sweetness. Although that in itself makes little sense. The point is that youth takes time to blossom to adulthood. |

| Pink Floyd – Pigs on the Wing (Part 1) Lyrics

A "PIG ON THE WING" in aviation refers to an enemy pilot who is in your blind spot. Zig Zagging and such are probably dog fight references used as a metaphorical example as oppose to an actual dog fight. |

I wanted to add to the "Pink" character in the Wall. On the album "Wish you were Here" - The lyric in "Have a Cigar" jokes asking : "Oh by the way which ones Pink". Pink would always represent the band as a whole. The people in the music industry who make money off of the artists are cluless to their art to some degree. They love the band they are really fantastic but they don't know shit about it's meaning. So, i think Pink's character is by far a medley of characters beyond Pink Floyd but any artist who got into contracts in music with businessmen who have no artistic value whatsoever |

To me this song was a rendition of stories. Roger Water's father, Syd Barett and the much used anthem of Brit pop of the sternness of British School systems. In the Movie a young (perhaps Waters or barett who wrote most of the early lyrics before leaving and going to the funny home) student has his "poems" taken and read aloud to the class who laugh at what are actually the lyrics to "Money" (dark side of the moon) |

| The Jimi Hendrix Experience – All Along the Watchtower (Bob Dylan cover) Lyrics

I really never thought Dylan would be so shallow to express the Vietnam war as such. How can I say this best? He's much much deeper than that. This is as any story is about life. You can just as easily context it to social problems as you can to just about anything. Why not say the Joker and the thief are the devil and god? The thief speaks as if he is not part of the social norm or of the world it encircles. Anyways Dylan stopped writing obvious Protest songs several years before this. Hendrix's version is definitley what put the song on radio stations. He played Bass on it because Noel Redding was fed up with his perfectionism towards the song and left the studio. Jimi added the dubs etc... A really cool thing I always noticed was after the line : "while all the women came and went, barefoot servants too.- You can hear Jimi say somthing like :"A WUBBA" never knew what this was or if it was intended to be there or some sound dub leftover. Anyone know what that is? |
