Listen to their albums Piper at the gates of dawn and Saucerful of secrets if you wanna hear more stuff like this, Syd Barrett was definitely the weird one of the group and those were the only two albums he's on
im sorry but this song is awful, dont get me wrong i think pink floyd are great wish you were here, dark side of the moon, the wall, but this is crap utter shit im glad syd barrett was fired, its like someone metally challenged would come up with this, a five year old would come up with this the fact that this is on there greatest hits is beyond me, oh and dont say to me dont criticise what u cant understand because i do if u say theres meaning in the song dont, i just prefer later pink floyd
The simplicity of it amuses me, and it makes me think about what they were thinking creating this. Pretty sure they were high, just another drug-inspired song.
I doubt the song is meant to be completely taken seriously, like you are.
funny how people who are offended by drug use are slow to admit that drugs have given us so much, uh, iconic, classic, wtf songs. this is one of them. if nonsensicle (sic) lyrics were rejected, bob dylan would be a footnote in rock history. listen to the song, and you will understand.
simplicity has its place.

@westmidcouple A Saucerful of Secrets is its own album, and Pink Floyd's second LP. When it was paired with Piper at the Gates of Dawn, I believe the double album was called A Nice Pair or something to that effect.
@RiverRat99 You're not a Floyd freak, and certainly not a TOTAL Floyd freak, if you don't know this song... it isn't like it's obscure or only available on bootlegs or something.
@Kaayarem Too esoteric--If he has a mouse than how can the mouse be homeless? Doesn't Syd's house become the mouse's house? I think he doesn't know why he calls the mouse Gerald, but perhaps only he knows the real answer.
the piper at the gates of dawn and a saucerful os secrets and darck side of the moon are the best of pink floyd for me, because i don't like too much echoes or the wall, syd barret is a wisard of the music,!!!!
This is poetry

That is one of those mysterious, enlightenment reaching questions. Like the tree falling one, but better.
I think he is unsure why he named the mouse Gerald. Which makes sense, because when I name something, I start to wonder why it's called that.
That or you know, the insanity.
