Wow... this was written by the same person who wrote The Final Cut...
He's not drunk, he's scottish. Anyways, he's not scottish either, it's Roger Waters doing his best scot impression.
@ThePython Actually, it was Ron Geesin speaking in Scottish burr. He was a friend of Waters.

@rick101204 Actually, it was Roger Waters. Ron Geesin only helped him. Also, it sounds exactly like Roger Waters so I don't know how you could be confused.

I think the above translation is wrong in many places. Most people just assume it's mostly jibberish. I think this an account, in 16th century english, of the Battle of Langside where Mary Queen of Scots was defeated. When you start with that assumption, you can decipher this into something that makes alot more sense. For example, before battle, the Scotsman of the day would "tuck up" -- tuck their long shirts under their belts. That was the birth of the kilt! So where they translate "took out wi' your Claymore", if you listen close it sounds more like "tucked up with a Claymore". By the way, a Claymore was a broadsword used in the period of the Battle of Langside. Anyway, my whole translation, with notes, is at http://www.angelfire.com/home/FloydWaters/pinkfloyd/species.html.

I just love the title!
One of the most crazy songs ever that I've heard. But fun and cooky. Roger makes me laugh sometimes. :D
I like the fact they refer to the scotish guy as one of the "several species of small furry aninimals" hah
