Pink Floyd ----- See Emily Play



On 16 June 1967, Pink Floyd released their second single, "See Emily Play" on the Columbia label. Written by original frontman Syd Barrett, it was released as a non-album single but appeared as the opening track of Pink Floyd, the US edition of the band's debut album The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967).

The song was written by Barrett following the Games for May concert and became a top 10 hit when released in the UK the following month. The group appeared three times on Top of the Pops, where Barrett started showing signs of erratic behaviour, which ultimately led to him leaving the group in early 1968. Although Pink Floyd seldom performed the song live, it has been recorded subsequently by at least seven diverse artists and regarded as a classic psychedelic pop single.

Emily tries, but misunderstands (Ah-ooh)
She's often inclined to borrow
Somebody's dreams till tomorrow

There is no other day
Let's try it another way
You'll lose your mind and play
Free games for May
See Emily play

Soon after dark, Emily cries (Ah-ooh)
Gazing through trees in sorrow
Hardly a sound till tomorrow

There is no other day
Let's try it another way
You'll lose your mind and play
Free games for May
See Emily play

Put on a gown
That touches the ground (Ah-ooh)
Float on a river
Forever and ever, Emily (Emily)

There is no other day
Let's try it another way
You'll lose your mind and play
Free games for May
See Emily play
