Also took a Creative Dance Class in college to "Us and Them" I know what song you are talking about. I always thought the song was a allegory on Dickens. I was a teacher

I purchased "A Saucer Full of Secrets" and loved it.
Been a fan of theirs ever since.

I still lose sleep over how I really feel about Roger Waters, lol. I'm prone to watching live concert videos until 3:00 AM with headphones cranked up to "hallucinogenic."
