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:
“My movie is born first in my head, dies on paper; is resuscitated by the living persons and real objects I use, which are killed on film but, placed in a certain order and projected on to a screen, come to life again like flowers in water.”
—Robert Bresson (b. 1907)
“Ah! I have penetrated to those meadows on the morning of many a first spring day, jumping from hummock to hummock, from willow root to willow root, when the wild river valley and the woods were bathed in so pure and bright a light as would have waked the dead, if they had been slumbering in their graves, as some suppose. There needs no stronger proof of immortality. All things must live in such a light. O Death, where was thy sting? O Grave, where was thy victory, then?”
—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)
