I'm surprised that none of the comments I've read so far have caught the meaning of "pigs on the wing." It's from the expression "when pigs fly." In the first "Pigs on the Wing," the narrator and the person he's talking to are young and are friends. They'd stop caring for each other when pigs fly. Then, we go through the whole album. Some people are dogs, some pigs and some sheep. In the end, our narrator is still ironic and humorous in his expression, but now he's turned bitter. He and his friend say they care for each other, and they will, when pigs fly.
In the beginning they cared but pretended not to. In the end, they pretended to care but didn't. That's what life does to people. It's how values are spent, souls are sold and life becomes hollow. It seems cruel, but who would accept death if life remained good into old age?
