| I think I agree with the people who said it was about drugs. Although I will admit this is probably my least favorite Syd song but its still good either way. I wonder where the band would have gone had Syd not become so damned difficult to work with...but we'll never know RIP | |

| Well, if anyone has ever read the material by McKenna, when you are tripping on DMT you generally see these Gnome like creatures in some alternate universe, He even referenced to it when describing when he broke through the chyrsanthemum and all the gnomes said hurray and make objects with their voices and in a way finding a new way to say hurray, http://deoxy.org/h_twhat.htm, that can be read there. I say it is a wonderful song about a dimethyltryptamine trip. | |

| this song gets really creepy when Syd starts whispering: "Look as the sky. Look at the river. Isn't it gooooood?" it gives me shivers. The good kind of shivers. | |

| this is a great song, who else could get away with writing a random song about happy little gnomes. syd was definitely a musical genius. not many can write such a simple song without it being boring | |

| i love it when people have to have the way waters "spelled out" (as lala said, which makes perfect sense) a lot of his lyrics in a way syd never bothered to do. which only makes it better. in my opinion at least. | |

| werumm seriously man. you need fucking contacts or something. a hearing aid? imagination? just because it wasnt spelled out in the same way that waters does doesnt make this a bad song. look deeper. its not as shallow as you might think. god im so glad amanda fucked off so the real asshole could emerge. | |
