Let me make this clear: I do not own this song but do have the Wall album. I would just like to say that lyrically this song is similar to Motion Picture Soundtrack by Radiohead. In that song there are lines such as "Red wine and sleeping pills help me get back to your arms. Cheap sex and sad films help me get where I belong." From these lyrics it seems like Pink is trying to fill in where his wife was with pointless little thrills much like in Motion Picture Soundtrack, although most aggree that in that song a loved one has died not run off with some bloke.
