Waving My Arms in the Air est une chanson de Syd Barrett, parue en 1970 sur l’album Barrett. On la retrouve sur les compilations Octopus, The Best of Syd Barrett (1992) et Wouldn't You Miss Me (2001).

Waving my arms in the air
Love, my love, got no care
No care, no, no, pressing my feet to the ground
Stand up right where you stand
Call to you and what do you do
Laying back in a chair
She’s so high on the air
She’s so high on the air
Half and half, half and half
All you have to do to call
Is hold her hand, stand a while
And then smile and we’ll understand
Yes we do - yes, yes we do
Oh what a girl I’ve got too
Oh what a girl I’ve got too
With her slinky look she held her tie to her hair
And I could see everywhere
No-one in the land, no-one
No-one in the land, no-one
But it rains on Saturday - cats and dogs in the way
Stormy day, hey, hey
And you shouldn’t try to be
What you can’t be
And you shouldn’t try to be
What you can’t be
Call to you and what do you do
