Dogs Lyrics
Artist(Band):Pink Floyd
Review The Song (8)Print the Lyrics
You got to be crazy, you gotta have a real need
You gotta sleep on your toes and when you're on the street
You got to 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
Yeah, 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 lose 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 all alone
Dragged down by the stone

Gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused
Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used
Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise
If I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of this maze

Deaf, dumb and blind, you just keep on pretending
That everyone's expendable, and no one has a real friend
And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner
Everything's done under the sun
But you believe at heart everyone's 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 pat on the back
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
Who was dragged down by the stone

Review about Dogs

Did you know.......? | Reviewer: KBc | 3/10/10

This song was developed from 'Gotta be Crazy' that the Floyd played on tour in 1974. On the same tour, they also previewed 'Raving and Drooling' which metamorphosed into the track 'Sheep'. Both songs were originally intended for the follow-up to DSOTM, but a bootleg recorded at a UK gig shifted so many copies that their record company feared that it might adversely affect sales of the forthcoming album. So, while 'Shine on you Crazy Diamond' was kept in, two new songs were written to replace Gotta be Crazy and Raving and Drooling. They were 'Welcome to the Machine' and the title track 'Wish you were here'. Thankfully, the Floyd didn't waste two great songs, but re-cycled them for the 'Animals' album .



e-Gold Theme Song | Reviewer: One Sad Goldbug | 7/26/08

This is the perfect theme song for e-Gold, the disgraced e-currency. This song describes the guy who started it perfectly. He was arrogant and gave the government the finger for more than a decade. In July 2008 he pleaded guilty to money laundering along with his two henchmen. This song reads like a biography of e-Gold. If your life is going to be a Shakespearean tragedy, at least make sure that it follows a great song like this one, and not some pop tripe.



The best | Reviewer: fairbank | 2/15/08

Dogs is the ultimate pink floyd and progressive rock song... the lyrics, the delivery of those lyrics, the atmosphere, the instrumentation... it's all perfect. This song moves me like an incredible book and a split-second emotional experience all at once. It doesn't get any better then this for this progger. As a previous poster said, yeah, Money is great and Another Brick is fun, but Dogs is really the apex of Pink Floyd as an artistic expression of the world around us, which is what all good prog tries to be.



a cuban floyd fan | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/5/08

I had at home this record on a tape, and it is really GREAT; some days ago I´ve seen it on the live version of "In the Flesh" concert and had to put my two thumbs up...impressive. Five stars.



Impressive | Reviewer: Ramón Rojas | 7/22/07

Every moment that I listening this song, is a special moment, touch every part of my mind.
Incredible



Old Floyd Fan | Reviewer: The George | 7/20/07

Yeah, sure, everyone loves "Money" and "Another Brick in the Wall" and "Run Like Hell," but for this old Floyd fan, "Dogs" is one of the best they've ever done. Just AWESOME(even moreso than usual) guitar licks from Dave and although Roger's lyrics are still on the depressing side, the words make you think ("And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around" - BRILLIANT!) One of my faves, fer sure!



Great song | Reviewer: Yaniv | 6/15/07

Its wierd how you keep hearing their songs, and every song seem like a great song and yet is still so deep, and meaningful. Great song, But in spite I have already learned how to be patient, 17 minutes song still seem to be too long;



Indeed great | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/3/07

this is one of the best (IMO of course...) songs performed by Floyds.
