Dogs. The entire album is awesome, of course. But Dogs is the most musically complex of the three, and the only one where you get to hear both Gilmour and Waters sing.
“The Lord is my shepard I shall not want,
He makes me down to lie, through pastures green,
He leadeth me the silent waters by,
With bright knives, He Releaseth my soul,
He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places,
He Converth me to lamb cutlets,
For lo he hath great power and great hunger,
When cometh the day we lowly ones
Through quiet reflection,
And Great Dedication,
Master the art of Karate,
Lo we shall rise up,
And then we’ll make the bugger’s eyes water”
