The band originally called this track "Lunatic" during live performances and recording sessions. You sometimes hear it coupled with another song, sometimes you don't. It always feels incomplete without its counterpart.
The insanity-themed lyrics are based on former Floyd frontman Syd Barrett's mental instability. The song has a rather famous opening line which refers to areas of turf which display signs saying "Please keep off the grass" with the exaggerated implication that disobeying such signs might indicate insanity. Another line, which also contains the album's name, became a famous metaphor of human irrationality.
