[a) Pigs on the Wing - Part I]

[Mike Baker:]
If you Didn't care what happened to me
And I didn't care

We would zig zag our way through the boredom and pain
Occasionally glancing up through the rain
Wondering which of the buggers to blame
And watching for pigs on the wing

I look down
Hearing the sound of the things you've said today

[Gary Wehrkamp:] In the crowd
