(Barrett)
Got a presstop can, cigarettes in my pocket
Going up to the shops
Shopping at shops she's walking with a sunshine tan
Feeling very cool
At the butchers and the bakers and the supermarket stall
Getting ev'rything she wants from the supermarket stall
Apples and oranges.
Cornering me as she trips up the street to meet the people
She's on time again and I catch her by the eye
Then I stop and have to think what a funny thing to do
'cos I'm feeling very faint
Apples and oranges.
I love she
She loves me
See you
See you.
Thought you might like to know
I'm the lorry driver man
She's on the run
Down by the river side
Feeding ducks by the afternoon tide
Apples and oranges
Apples and oranges
Apples and oranges.
Paint Box.
(Wright)
Last night I had too much to drink
Sitting in a club with so many fools
Playing to rules, trying to impress
But feeling rather empty
I had another drink.
What a way to spend that ev'ning!
They all turn up with their friends
Playing the game
They're in the scene
Oh I should have been far away.
Getting up, I feel so bad
Remembering what's been before
I open the door
Then I forget.
The telephone rings and someone speaks
She would very much like to go out to a show
So what can I do?
I can't think what to say
She'll see thru anyway.
Out of the frontdoor I go
Traffic moving rather slow - arriving late
There she waits looking very angry
As cross as she can be.
Getting up, I feel so bad
Remembering what's been before
I open the door to an empty room
Then I forget.

ResponderEliminar"Apples and Oranges" is the third UK single by Pink Floyd, the final one written by Syd Barrett, and released in 1967.
The B-side was "Paint Box" written by Richard Wright. The song is about a girl whom the narrator meets at the supermarket.
The song was recorded shortly before the band's US tour, on 26 and 27 October.
It was the group's first single that failed to break into the UK charts, and their US label Tower Records issued a US-only single instead: "Flaming" b/w "The Gnome" (Tower 378).
Waters blamed the single's sales performance on Norman Smith: "'Apples and Oranges' was destroyed by the production. It's a fucking good song". When the single failed to reach the charts, Barrett's reply was that he "couldn't care less".
