| This song always reminds me of the chesire cat sitting next to the duchess in Alice in Wonderland. Also the way it starts on one side and comes to the other sounds like the chesire puss's sort of "telepotation". | |

| Ok everyone seems to be wrong this song is about Jeniffer Syd's ex girlfriend I found this out by reading his biog "Crazy Diamond" which is aproved by his own family. I am a huge Syd fan and the other thing I noticed was the lyrics are wrong and the last verse is missing. The real lyrics are Lucifer Sam, Siam cat. Always sitting by your side Always by your side. That cat's something I can't explain. Jennifer Gentle you're a witch. You're the left side He's the right side. Oh, no! That cat's something I can't explain. Lucifer simba go to sea. Be a hip cat, be a ship's cat. Somewhere, anywhere. That cat's something I can't explain. At night prowling sifting sand. Hiding around on the ground. He'll be found when you're around. That cat's something I can't explain. The metaphore is using a cursed cat in place of Jeniffer so as not to directly insult her. All of syd's songs are quite more complex then at first they appear. | |

| PATGOD Trivia (http://www.pinkfloyd-co.net/disco/piper/piper_album.html): "Lucifer Sam was originally titled 'Percy The Rat Catcher'. Jenny Spires (Jenny Gentle) a girlfriend of Syd's at the time, bits from the I Ching [the 5,000 year-old Chinese Book of Changes, and his [Syd's] own ideas were mixed together as the inspiration for this ode to Syd's cat." | |

| Actually, now I think he says "Lucipher surfer" rather than Lucipher Simba but both are good. | |
