(bkz: pink floyd)
you gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need.
you gotta sleep on your toes, and when you're on the street,
you gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed.
and then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight,
you gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking.
and after a while, you can work on points for style.
like the club tie, and the firm handshake,
a certain look in the eye and an easy smile.
you have to be trusted by the people that you lie to,
so that when they turn their backs on you,
you'll get the chance to put the knife in.
you gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder.
you know it's going to get harder, and harder, and harder as you get older.
and in the end you'll pack up and fly down south,
hide your head in the sand,
just another sad old man,
all alone and dying of cancer.
and when you loose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown.
and as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone.
and it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around.
so have a good drown, as you go down, alone,
dragged down by the stone.
gotta be crazy adında benzer sözlere sahip bir parçayken, animals öncesi konsepte uyması açısından sözleri ve adı değişmiş bildiğimiz bağrımıza bastığımız dogs olmuştur. rogers waters ve david gilmour ortak çalışmalarının güzelliği açısından başka güzide bir kanıt da olur aynı zamanda.
mükemmel sözler, mükemmel müzik ve elbette tabii mükemmel solo(nun sahibi david gilmour) bu parçayı animals'ın en güzel eseri haline getiriyor. lüzumsuz detay olarak da bu parçanın 80'lerde çevrilmiş bir metin akpınar filminde mayolu bir kadının seksi bir şekilde şezlongda gerilirken dikizlendiği anda çaldığını ve diğer türk filmlerinde de rainbow - stargazer, led zeppelin - whole lotta love gibi parçaları da duyduğumdan, o devrin ses teknisyenlerinin de yomahart yomasol'lara rağmen sağlam müzik zevki olduğunu da belirtebiliriz.
17 dakikalık eşsiz bir keyiftir... tek kelimeyle harikulade bir eser.
pink floyd'un sözleriyle, ritmiyle, sololarıyla en çok pink floyd olduğu şarkılardan birisidir kanaatimce.

i gotta admit that im a little bit confused
sometimes it seems to me as if im just being used
gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake of this creeping malaise
ıf i dont stand my own ground, how can i find my way out of this maze?
deaf, dumb, and blind, you just keep on pretending
that everyones expendable and no-one had a real friend
and it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner
and you believe at heart, everyones a killer.
who was born in a house full of pain
who was trained not to spit in the fan
who was told what to do by the man
who was broken by trained personnel
who was fitted with collar and chain
who was given a seat in the stand
who was breaking away from the pack
who was only a stranger at home
who was ground down in the end
who was found dead on the phone
who was dragged down by the stone.
2000 tarihli in the flesh dvd'sinde baba waters oğul waters'a söyletir bu parçayı. waters jr ise başarıyla altından kalkar. keşke istanbul konserinde sheep değil de dogs çalsalarmış derim hep..
