Syd was commisioned to write this song for a free festival, "Free Games For May". Around that time, during many of the so- called "Freak-outs" (kinda spontaneous "Happenings"), there was a well known young girl, a teenager, the titular Emily, who would attend these parties and get very, very minced on the drugs du jour of that time. Such was the nature of her hedonism, that Syd wrote the lyrics especially with her in mind. I can't remember her second name at present, but I'll post it when I do.

Cheers,

Mark
