Does anybody really like this song? The music is 'very thin' to say the least. The lyrics are pretty weak. I know it was recorded to @#$%& with the Decca boys, but lines like: 'well I had pigs in the farmyard, some of them, some of them, they're allright' are really disturbing to me!
Well it ain't really the kinda thing ya'd play at ya grandmothers 80th but as for sound.... da 78 tour rehearsal version is just down right filthy...PLAY LOUD it'll cripple ya!!!

yeah but hes not referring to bestiality, its a metaphor for policemen - 'pigs' being a common term of abuse... and of course theres a reference to sex with policemen elsewhere in the song (I dont think the 'helmet' he's referring to refers to a part of his uniform..)
