The first couple verses of "Vegetable Man" are essentially just Syd listing off what he's wearing: In yellow shoes I get the blues Though I walk the streets with my plastic feet With blue velvet trousers, make me feel pink There's a kind of stink about blue velvet trousers In my paisley shirt I look a jerk And my turquoise waistcoat is quite out of sight But oh oh, my haircut looks so bad... Vegetable man where are you? So I've changed my gear, and I find my knees And I cover them up with the latest cut And my pants and socks all point in a box They don't make long of my nylon socks The watch, black watch My watch with a black face And a big pin, a little hole And all the lot is what I got It's what I wear, it's what you see It must be me, it's what I am Vegetable man…

Fare thee well, sweet Windsor town, I'm sure I'll never see you Well, everything being silent and the hour but twelve o'clock I put on the shirt and apron and steered for Crowman's Wharf The captain says 'Now Jack, I thought you were to Windsor bound You might have got a better suit than that for thirty pound' "
The Steve Miller Band - 'Abracadabra' Abra abracadabra I wanna reach out and grab ya Abracadabra Abracadabra You make me hot, you make me sigh You make me laugh, you make me cry Keep me burning for your love With the touch of a velvet glove Abra abracadabra... I feel the magic in your caress I feel magic when I touch your dress Silk and satin, leather and lace Black panties with an angel's face Abra abracadabra...
