Pink Floyd - Gerald Scarfe Animation - What Shall We Do Now?

What shall we use to fill the empty spaces
Where waves of hunger roar?
Shall we set out across the sea of faces
In search of more and more applause?

Shall we buy a new guitar?
Shall we drive a more powerful car?
Shall we work straight through the night?
Shall we get into fights?
Leave the lights on?
Drop bombs?
Do tours of the east?
Contract diseases?
Bury bones?
Break up homes?
Send flowers by phone?
Take to drink?
Go to shrinks?
Give up meat?
Rarely sleep?
Keep people as pets?
Train dogs?
Race rats?
Fill the attic with cash?
Bury treasure?
Store up leisure?
But never relax at all
With our backs to the wall.

I remeber watching this scene around the age of five. I didnt have a clue who it was, or what any of it ment, but its captivated me like nothing else. When I was older I saw some of my uncles animation frames from the movie and I found the animation again years back. It was amazing being able to remember.

Mapplethorpe would have love that intro.

@Ultrasecond It was still for Empty Spaces (checked live footage), or at least its relative, "What Should We Do Now?"

What song was the flowers animation originally used for in pink floyd shows? I remember Gerald mentioning something about this.
