on the album version.
The last part with the repeated female vocal lines "these are the pros and cons of hitchhiking"
has 2 added lines (just after "oh babe, I must be dreaming again"): the first one with a saxophone

On the album version, right at the beginning of the song, there are two guys that can be

Jim Ladd's words at the very beginning were edited out. The intro has 4 more bars. An
instrumental part was added between the intro and the first verse (one instrumental
chorus, one instrumental verse and one chorus with female vocals, singing "radio").
Another instrumental part was added between the second chorus and the guitar solo
(with some voices, including a loud sentence "The Fish Report with a Beat, in stereo!").
The ending is different from the regular version: there's no fade out, it ends abruptly with
the words "in stereo".

screams on the live album).

Source for the tree : "Amused to Death" CD
Roger Waters wanted to use some lines and "breathing effects" from Stanley Kubrick's
"2001 : A Space Odyssey", but Kubrick refused. This explains the backward message at
the beginning on "Perfect Sense": "Julia, however, in the light and visions of the issues of
Stanley, we changed our minds.
We have decided to include a backward message. Stanley, for you, and for all the other book
partners... (screamed sentence)".

This is the song Roger Waters "offered" to Marianne Faithfull.
It was composed during the early Floyd days, in 1968.

than those used by Waters in "Your Possible Pasts", on "The Final Cut" album.
Note that this song features Roger on bass synth.
