Vegetable Man (2:28)

Syd wrote this manic song just before going into in the studio about what he was wearing.

The last Floyd song Syd wrote, ‘Vegetable Man’, was done for those sessions, though it never came out. Syd was around at my house just before he had to go to record and, because a song was needed, he just wrote a description of what he was wearing at the time and threw in a chorus that went ‘Vegetable man — where are you?’ It’s very disturbing. Roger took it off the album because it was too dark, and it is. It’s like psychological flashing.

‘Scream’ has meanwhile joined ‘Vegetable Man’, another product of this tortuous period, as the great ‘lost’ Barrett creations. The masters for both still bear the declaration “not to be used for LP”, ie: the group’s projected second album.
