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:
“In the court of the movie Owner, none criticized, none doubted. And none dared speak of art. In the Owner’s mind art was a synonym for bankruptcy.... The movie Owners are the only troupe in the history of entertainment that has never been seduced by the adventure of the entertainment world.”
—Ben Hecht (1893–1964)
“These men, in teaching us how to die, have at the same time taught us how to live. If this man’s acts and words do not create a revival, it will be the severest possible satire on the acts and words that do. It is the best news that America has ever heard.... How many a man who was lately contemplating suicide has now something to live for!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“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)
