Pig Lyrics
P-ig, oh, p-ig
Why don't you sing me that
Pretty lullaby
Then when you're singing great
Pack it all up
I want a new face right now
And I want it bad
I want a new body that's strong
I'm a butchered cow
I want to try and fly
I want to try and die
I want to be a pig
I want to fuck a car
I want a new face right now
And I want it bad
I want a new body that's strong
I'm a butchered cow
I want to be a stupid and shallow mutherfucker now
I want to be a tough skinned bitch but I don't know how
I want to be a shiny new baby with a spongy brain
I want to be a horse full of fire what will never reign
Pretty lullaby
Then when you're singing great
Pack it all up
And I want it bad
I want a new body that's strong
I'm a butchered cow
I want to try and die
I want to be a pig
I want to fuck a car
And I want it bad
I want a new body that's strong
I'm a butchered cow
I want to be a tough skinned bitch but I don't know how
I want to be a shiny new baby with a spongy brain
I want to be a horse full of fire what will never reign

I'm pretty sure the last line is "I wanna be a horse full of fire that'll never tame." Then again, I could be wrong. Love this song. Sparklehorse fuckin rocks.
While on tour with Radiohead, Mark Linkous overdosed, fell unconscious and toppled backwards onto his legs, cutting of the blood supply for a good few hours. Chemical build ups in his legs in those few hours meant that he was unable to stand for several months and had difficulty walking for the rest of his life. This is a song about wishing his body still worked as it should.
yeah, the last line is wrong.
I love this song. when I was addicted to heroin I smoked way too much speed once and had a minor stroke and couldn't use my right leg for almost a month. it was extremely painful and I was really mad at my stupid self and my stupid fucked up body that didn't let me do anything. this song reminds me of that RIP mark linkous.
i'm pretty sure this ones about his stint in rehab and how much it drove him crazy.
i just thought it was a comment on how dependent on material things the world has become. Examples:
"I wanna new face right now and I want it bad I wanna new body that's strong I'm a butchered cow "
(plastic surgery)
It's about wanting to become new and reborn again.
I wanna try and fly I wanna try and die I wanna be a pig I wanna fuck a car
All the things he would do if he had a fresh soul.
Amazing song.
