Cover art for Don't Leave Me Now lyrics by Pink Floyd

It's pretty obvious that Pink's being abusive to his wife here. If not physically then mentally. But he says things that make you assume both are going on. Examples:

"How could you go/when you know how I need you/to beat to a pulp on a Saturday night"

"I need you babe/to put through the shredder/in front of my friends"

But throughout, he thinks he's the victim. It's his right to dominate his wife and she shouldn't be leaving him because he's exercising his dominance. He also thinks he's giving enough in return: "Remember the flowers I sent?"

The phone call at the end is his wife having moved to England and shacked up with another man. This man has been warned of Pink's antics and the new man doesn't want "Mrs. Floyd" to have anything to do with Pink anymore.

I must say, I agree with the new guy's sentiments...
