Here are the lyrics of 'Piggies' by the Beatles. I've researched the meaning of the song and it is about war. Its describing the lives of the soldiers and how bad things are for them. The second and third verses describe the governments uncaring attitude towards the working class, they have something 'lacking' in their eyes. The last verse is hinting the views of the public and how they live their lives.
Have you seen the little piggies
Crawling in the dirt
And for all the little piggies
Life is getting worse
Always having dirt to play around in.
Have you seen the bigger piggies
In their starched white shirts
You will find the bigger piggies
Stirring up the dirt
Always have clean shirts to play around in.
In their sties with all their backing
They don't care what goes on around
In their eyes there's something lacking
What they need's a damn good whacking.
Everywhere there's lots of piggies
Living piggy lives
You can see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives
Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon.
oh thats interesting! I hadnt looked up the meaning yet so fought it was really about pigs lol I shall do some more research! have you fought about what type of puppets we should do? or any ideas about the whole ting yet?
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what puppets to use. There are so many, small and large scale. But I think it would be cool to make it a bit disturbed as the song sounds so happy that it's got a hint of lunacy.
