This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:

To a related topic: This is a redirect to an article about a similar topic.
- Redirects from related topics are different than redirects from related words, because a related topic is more likely to warrant a full and detailed description in the target article. If this redirect's subject is notable, then also tag it with {{R with possibilities}} and {{R printworthy}}.

From a song: This is a redirect from a song title to a more general, relevant article such as an album, film or artist where the song is mentioned. Redirecting to the specific album or film in which the song appears is preferable to redirecting to the artist when possible.
- There is consensus that the majority of songs do not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Songs should only have an individual article when there is enough material to warrant a detailed article.
- For redirects of cover songs to the article about the original song, use {{R from cover song}} instead.
- For redirects of remixes to the article about the original song, use {{R from remix}} instead.

When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.

-==Lyrics==
-This song was [[Roger Waters]]' debut songwriting credit, continually building in speed until the end and featuring frantic guitar playing by [[Syd Barrett]] and manic keyboard parts by [[Richard Wright (musician)|Richard Wright]]. The song's title is a reference to [[Gospel of John|John]] 5:8—''"Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk"''. Its morbid lyrics are quite unlike anything else on the album, the rest of which was penned by Barrett, but is characteristic of much of Waters' work; the clinical motif would recur in compositions like "[[Free Four]]" and "[[Comfortably Numb]]". Similarly, "[[Sheep (song)|Sheep]]", contains more Biblical quotations adapted by Waters to fit the song.
-The song parallels the title track to Waters' 1992 solo album ''[[Amused to Death]]'' by beginning with the phrase "Doctor, Doctor."
-==Alternative, live versions and covers==
-<!--When adding a new entry for a cover, add reliable source(s) or the entry will be deleted-->
-*The song was performed live by the band in 1967. Live versions were significantly longer, with the middle section containing more of Barrett's spacey slide guitar.
-*It was covered by [[At the Drive-In]] for [[Steve Lamacq]] and released along with their single "[[Invalid Litter Dept.]]", and later on the compilation ''[[This Station Is Non-Operational]]''.<ref>http://www.allmusic.com/album/this-station-is-non-operational-mw0000655168</ref>
