Cover art for Pig lyrics by Soft Machine, The

Robert Wyatt's voice was often more of an instrument than a conveyor of deep meaning. He has since written some very serious and personal lyrics, but here I think he was just having a laugh and maybe a little celebration of the free love thing that was going round those days. Or on a more serious note, why does a lack of clothes cause so much fuss in our modern society? We were born naked, resulting from an act usually carried out naked. I've never understood all the time wasted struggling with fancy underwear.
