Young Lust

YOUNG LUST
FACTS/COMMENTS

 

Concept: Another brick in Pink's wall is the loss of his wife. This song is a pastiche of a rock and roll band on the road and the inevitable sexual encounters, and is stereotypical of the kind of songs young rock bands play.

Roger Waters: When I wrote this song, the words were quite different. It was about leaving school, wandering about town, hanging around outside porno movies and dirty bookshops and things like that : being very interested in sex but too frightened to get involved. Now it's completely different. That was a function of all of us working together on the record, particulary Dave Gilmour and Bob Ezrin.
