Best lyric of the new album...

 Yep. Which is why I though, and continue to think, it's about Pete and Roger, not Pete and Rachel or any other two male-female pairings.

Just now getting time to comment on this: I haven't heard all the  
song yet, but "pink" is a fairly well-known word for female genitalia  
(e.g. Carrie Fisher's book _Surrender the Pink_).  I've never yet  
heard it used as a word for male genitalia.  Which would make the  
line Pete talking to Roger.

Cheers,
