Syd wrote the song in 67 after, rumour has it, following this pretty girl around the marketplace as she shopped, it was recorded in Aug of 67 at Abbey Road Studios and was the third single they released, I simply love it...although it actually failed to chart, the first PF single to do so

Got a flip-top pack of cigarettes in her pocket
Feeling good at the top
Shopping in sharp shoes
Walking in the sunshine town feeling very cool
But the butchers and the bakers in the supermarket stores
Getting everything she wants from the supermarket stores
Apples and oranges
Apples and oranges

Cornering neatly she trips up sweetly
To meet the people
She's on time again
And then
I catch her by the eye then I stop and have to think
What a funny thing to do 'cause I'm feeling very pink
Apples and oranges
Apples and oranges

I love she
She loves me
See you
See you

Thought you might to know
I'm the lorry driver man
She's on the run
Down by the river side
feeding ducks by the afternoon tide
(quack quack)
Apples and oranges
Apples and oranges
Apples and oranges

there is also a video of them performing apples and oranges, it was filmed for american bandstand tv show on pink floyd's american tour, this performance went well, but the next one was the notorious pat boone show where syd just stood blankly when he should have been miming and roger had to take over, i think anyway correct me if i'm wrong. great song anyway

i don't want to know who said "f*ck it" when asked should syd be picked up,that is something that dave,nick rick and roger should never reveal

I agree, I might feel some sentiment towards the person who did say it. Although it was evident that he could not go on.
