# The Lyrics of Syd Barrett - Hardcover

by **Syd Barrett** (Author), **Rob Chapman** (Author), **Peter Jenner** (Author)

**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.**

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.

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.
