"I've been mad for fucking years, absolutely years, been
over the edge for yonks, been working me buns off for bands..."
"I've always been mad, I know I've been mad, like the
most of us...very hard to explain why you're mad, even
if you're not mad..."
[Instrumental]

I'm surprised that none of you brought this up sooner, but many Pink Floyd songs are about their former member Syd Barrett. Syd was the original song writer for the band, but years of drug use led to a breakdown which resulted in his replacement in 1968 by Dave Gilmour. Prior to his replacement, Syd wouldn't appear at gigs and interviews regularly, and when he did he seemed very confused. He had become increasingly disconnected with reality. This leads me to believe that many of these songs, about madness, were written with him in mind.
And for the record, the name "Pink Floyd" was derived from two blues musicians: Pink Anderson and Floyd Council. :)
