By Syd Barrett and Rob Chapman
Despite just a three-year tenure with the band, co-founder Syd Barrett’s influence on Pink Floyd was profound and long-lasting. If his guitar gave the early Pink Floyd a distinctive hallucinatory sound, his often obscure and surreal lyrics were perhaps even more intoxicating.
The complete lyrics of Syd Barrett – 52 songs written for Pink Floyd and during his subsequent solo career – are presented together for the first time, along with rare photos and artwork, to form this beautifully illustrated book.
Compiled in collaboration with the Syd Barrett estate, and featuring a foreword from former Pink Floyd manager Peter Jenner and a comprehensive introduction by biographer Rob Chapman, The Lyrics of Syd Barrett delves deep into one of rock’n’roll’s most imaginative and searing minds.

MichaelAugust 13, 2023It is proper that a wordsmith of Syd Barrett's caliber is represented in this form -- a single volume containing his lyrics for the early Pink Floyd and for his all-too-brief solo career. Though the body of work Barrett produced was slim (52 songs), he is responsible for some amazing lyrical achievements as Rob Chapman's brilliant introduction makes clear. The book is beautifully augmented by photos and Barrett's art.
