Vegetable Man

In yellow shoes I get the blues,
So I walk the street with my plastic feet
with blue velvet trousers make me feel pink
Theres a kind of stink about blue velvet trousers
In my paisley shirt, I look a jerk,
and my turquoise waistcoat is quite outta sight.
But oh, oh, my haircut looks so bad….
Vegetable man! Where are you?
So I change my gear, and I bugger my knees
and I cover them up with the latest cuts
My pants and socks are all in a box
It does take long to find darn old socks
The watch, black watch, my watch
with a black face and a date in a little hole
and all the luck, its what I got,
Its what I wear, Its what you see,
It must be me, Its what I am!
Vegetable man! Where are you?
Ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah Hah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah - oh!
I’ve been looking all over the place for a place for me
But it ain’t anywhere
It just ain’t anywhere.
Vegetable man, Vegetable man, Vegetable man. Vegetable man, Vegetable man, Vegetable man,
He’s the kind of fella you just gotta see if you can, Vegetable man.

    By the way, before you all come back at me defending some dead musician you never met. Remember that I have a right to express my opinion.

    Your opinion is that a musician who had a mental breakdown and is now dead was a “useless crank”. You can keep it. Some of the early stuff was messy in comparison to the later stuff, but Barrett did have talent, and the early songs have much more personality. They’re different. I like the later stuff too.

    P.S. See Emily Play is an example of what Syd was capable of. Just a pity he couldn’t fulfil it. The early experimentation definitely influenced the later Floyd too. The later stuff is definitely of a much higher quality. I’m not a big fan of the rest of Syd’s stuff, just took exception to the “useless crank” remark. Take it easy…

    FINE! But why pick a fight with fans of Syd with this comment. Did you meet Lennon? Cobain? Buckley? Yet like everyone else you have an opinion… I think Syd Barrett was great and will argue it with anyone. Yet I will listen to everyone else who hinks he was shite. Keep your ‘dead musician you never met’ comments to yourself. They do not become a sensible argument!

    At that time (67-68) The Psycodelic rock didn’t exist on England, fag, So its a bit different to be equal as someone that didn’t existed DOH

    Syd barrett started the English Psycodelic rock with their debut album The Piper at the gates of dawn

    Well, if I recall correctly, these four tracks are from their BBC Radio Sessions, and can be downloaded on bit-torrent from Yeeshkull and likely Pirate Bay.
    They’ve been around for years.

    Actually im pretty sure the beatles started the psychedelic rock era with Revolver in 1966 which is when these songs were played

  10. ScarBarrett, on November 30th, 1999 at 12:00 am Said:

    no shit.

    The beattles are far away from being psychedelic music….they had they psychedelic tracks, no dpoubt…but a few xD
