about

"Vegetable Man" is a song written by Syd Barrett for Pink Floyd in 1967. It was considered for the band's third single or for inclusion on their second album A Saucerful of Secrets. Bootlegged for decades, the song did not have an official release until 2016, when it was included on the box set The Early Years 1965–1972.

lyrics

In yellow shoes, I get the blues
So I walk the streets with my plastic feet
With blue velvet trousers, make me feel pink
There's a kind of stink about blue velvet trousers
In my paisley shirt, I look a jerk
And my turquoise waistcoat is quite out of sight
But oh, oh! My haircut looks so bad!
Vegetable man, where are you?

So I change my gear, and I find my knees
And I cover them up with the latest cut
And my pants and socks are bought in a box
It don't take long to buy nylon socks
The watch, black watch
My watch with a black face
And the date in a little hole
And all the lot is what I got
It's what I wear
It's what you see
It must be me
It's what I am
Vegetable man

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 (8x)
He’s he kind of fellow you just gotta see if you can..
Vegetable man
