Lyric discussion by elephant_range 

Cover art for Vegetable Man lyrics by Pink Floyd

This is based around the theme song to the TV Series 'Car 54 Where Are You?' (1961-1963).

Obviously autobiographical, from Syd's point of view, and his rampant self-absorption, culminating in his mental 'breakdown', is written all over it.

Sad, no single potential, and the end of Syd in Floyd.
