Syd Barrett Legend book by Bob Cairns

Has ANYONE ever gotten Syd's lyrics completely right!?! Let's give this guy the benefit of the doubt on that part of the book.Neil says it's a garbage book & he's usually right. I think it comes out in May of this year.....I mean even when Syd was in Floyd they screwed those lyrics up too, for awhile. I think the PATGOD 40th anniversary finally got the words right. What other good books are there on Syd & are there ANY that go into detail about his life in the 80's or about his time being institutionalized then as well? It'd be nice to know. Opinions, amigos!?!

And does fairground song 'Octopus' refer to a "ghost tower" or simply a "coaster"?

I was confused with a "ROLLER coaster".
Only the word "coaster" doesn't seem to refer to a fairground, or does it? Can someone give certainty? (English is my second language.)
