You Got The Song From Rotten Syd

This one contains a famous anecdote about Syd Barrett: How the tragically transcendent hero of the early Pink Floyd went shopping for trousers, tried on three pairs of very different sizes - and found that they all fit perfectly well! (He ended up buying none of them, though.)

02. You Got The Song From Rotten Syd

You got the song from rotten Syd
You try to stop it but you can’t quit
You got the song from rotten Syd
He had this plan that he won‘t grow up
But grow out
Divine

Small -
I‘m small as an elf
Still -
Taller than all
And than myself

Live -
To live’s to be seen
Drift –
On everyone‘s mindscreen
I’m moving in
Up on your shelf
Topsy - (I tried on three pairs of pants)
Topsy and turvy (Each had a different size)
Groovy - (They all fit perfectly well)
Groovy and pervy (What a surprise!)
That’s what I be

Freedom, Freedom‘s a feeling
Feeling, Feeling’s an art
Everybody’s a star
A start minus t!
