This is Syd Barrett's last contribution to the group, and the only song on the album that he wrote and sang on. Shortly before it was released, he was kicked out of the band. The song itself is Barrett's self-diagnosis of schizophrenia, explained by the lines "I'm most obliged to you for making it clear that I'm not here" and "I wonder who could be writing this song?"
Pink Floyd made a promo film for this song, which shows a seemingly depressed Barrett wandering around aimlessly, singing the song.
The middle part of the song was a contribution from a Salvation Army band that Barrett asked to guest on the song (more to the point, he told them to play whatever they wanted).
