Movie and Live Versions
On both the film adaptation and the recording of the live performance of this album, the song segues into "What Shall We Do Now?".
Visually, both the movie and live versions feature an animated "fornicating flowers" sequence by Gerald Scarfe, in which one predatory female flower appears to seduce a more shy male flower into sex. The two then briefly morph into a vaguely foetus-like figure before the predatory flower devours the male and flies into the distance of what becomes the animation for "What Shall We Do Now?"

Famous quotes containing the words movie, live and/or versions:
“Cinema is the culmination of the obsessive, mechanistic male drive in western culture. The movie projector is an Apollonian straightshooter, demonstrating the link between aggression and art. Every pictorial framing is a ritual limitation, a barred precinct.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“Know, thou, that the lines that live are turned out of a furrowed brow.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“The assumption must be that those who can see value only in tradition, or versions of it, deny man’s ability to adapt to changing circumstances.”
—Stephen Bayley (b. 1951)
