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!
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.

Syd was barely a musician...but had an añazing imagination

[PostToastie]

Barely a musician!?!?!?!?!

He could play any string instrument from the moment he popped out of the womb, he was a prodigy and he spent his entire life as a youngster playing in orchestras and bands with family and friends. He was touted as being 'the next Mozart', he was a brilliant musician and played many instruments other than strings, also, including woodwinds and brass. I'm sure you will hear it from many others, soon. get a clue!

[Karrpenter]

Syd was a really good guitar player. Maybe not so technically skilly than some real "professional-guitarists", but he was just a genius guy who made art by playin' the guitar PERSONALLY. Get a life, all u who blame syd.

[Noizchild]

Are you mad?!? Syd was brilliant! You should listen to "Bike" and "Arnold Lanye!"

[san5a89]

@zeppfan89 you meant a technic musician...

[bingbangbumm]

these are my ears after listen this video >>> ♥.♥

[knickd1979]

syd was an artist more than a pop star. don't forget he was only 20 when he wrote and performed all the "piper" stuff as well as most of this. had he stuck with it, he would have improved technically. but a polished, technical guitar player was not what syd was or what the early floyd benefited from. instead it was his amazing style and unique qualities that propelled their early success. syd was beautiful and overwhelmingly original and talented

[ungrats]

well roger could pen out some pretty meaningful lyrics compared to the others, but it got to his head. syd's guitar playing was innovative and unique but he wasnt amazing but thats what made it so good ya know? now syd's lyrical work is unparalled! the whole of the pink floyd's work is amazing no matter who wrote the music

[JAYROX1969]

its the bbc version of vegetable man.

[Epponnee]

I love that you included "Vegetable Man" on this posting. It sounds like the version they used on the Omnibus Doc.

All the other postings of that song on here are too fast.

Cheers

You have to be impressed that they can push around 70million people,I mean, it's a horrific thing to do...but still...

[2unit]
