The composition is instrumental except for the only spoken (or sung) line from drummer Nick Mason, "One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces ." It features double - tracked bass guitars played by David Gilmour and Roger Waters, with each bass hard panned into one channel of stereo, but one bass sound is quite muted and dull . According to Gilmour, this is because that particular instrument had old strings on it, and the roadie they had sent to get new strings for it wandered off to see his girlfriend instead . </P> <P> The predominant element of the piece is that of a bass guitar played through a delay (echo) unit, set to produce repeats in quarter - note triplets . The result of this setting is, if the player plays simple quarter notes, the added echoes will produce a pattern of quarter note--eighth note, quarter note--eighth note . Pink Floyd would again use this technique on the bass line for "Sheep". </P>
