Is it just me or is Syd's songs on Piper and the singles seem artistic? Like poetry? I mean, I look at the lyrics for the songs he wrote and they are fairly short, but creative nontheless, I feel as if he had an imagination for those songs to be written. I hope you guys understand where I'm coming from.

For Chapter 24 he took the lyrics from some Chinese scripture I think. Astronomy Domine's lyrics were inspired by his first trip (LSD). Apart from that I'm not really sure, but he does seem to like telling stories (e.g. The Gnome, Arnold Layne). His lyrics seem much more down-to-earth than Roger's, i.e. dealing with much more everyday situations but somehow making them interesting in his own way.

I love Syd's lyrics. They inspire me.

Not so much as inspiring but they make you think, y'know?

He was on LSD.
Who knows that he was writing about. He doesn't even know.

I think he did a great job with lyrics but I also think that his voice is really good you know. I love davids voice and rogers is ok I suppose (not the biggest fan of what his voice sounds like now adays) but syds seems really deep you know. I love to hear him sing and think he did a great job with writing and singing the lyrics for the band early in there career.

His voice actually reminds me somewhat of The Beatles. I actually don't/didn't mind it.
