Terrpain (Barrett)
I
really love you and I mean you
the
star above you, crystal blue
Well,
oh baby, my hairs on end about you...
I
wouldn't see you and I love to
I
fly above you, yes I do
well,
oh baby, my hairs on end about you...
Floating,
bumping, noses dodge a tooth
the
fins a luminous
fangs
all 'round the clown
is
dark below the boulders hiding all
the
sunlight's good for us
'Cause
we're the fishes and all we do
the
move about is all we do
well,
oh baby, my hairs on end about you...
Floating,

No Good Trying
(Barrett)
IIt's
no good trying to place your hand
where
I can't see because I understand
that
you're different from me
yes
I can tell
that
you can't be what you pretend
and
you're rocking me backwards
and
you're rocking towards the
red
and yellow mane of a stallion horse.
It's
no good trying to hold your love
where
I can't see because I understand
that
you're different from me
yes
I can tell
that
you can't be what you pretend
the
caterpillar hood won't cover the head of you
know
you should be home in bed.
It's
no good holding your sequin fan
where
I can't see because I understand
that
you're different from me
yes
I can tell
that
you can't be what you pretend
yes
you're spinning around and around in a car
with
electric lights flashing very fast...
Love You (Barrett)
Honey
love you, honey little,
honey
funny sunny morning

you more funny love in the skyline baby
ice-cream
'scuse me,
I've
seen you looking good the other evening
Oh,

It
Ain't a long rhyme.
It
took ages to think
I
think I'll hurl it in the water, baby...
Honey

No Man's Land
(Barrett)
You
would hold your head up high
you
even try
you
would hold another hand:
oh
understand!
They
even see me under call
we
under all,
we
awful, awful, crawl
to
hear my hour
come
see me cry...
Just
searching you even try
I
can make you smile
if
it's there will you go there too?
When
I live I die!
They
even see me under call
we
under all, we awful, awful, crawl
because
of you, to see me be.
Dark Globe
(Barrett)
Oh where are you
now
pussy willow that
smiled on this leaf?
When I was alone
you promised the stone from your heart
my head kissed the
ground
I was half the way
down, treading the sand
please, please,
lift a hand
I'm only a person
whose armbands beat
on his hands, hang
tall
won't you miss me?
Wouldn't you miss
me at all?
The poppy birds
way
swing twigs coffee
brands around
brandish her wand
with a feathery tongue
my head kissed the
ground
I was half the way
down, treading the sand
please, please,
please lift the hand
I'm only a person
with Eskimo chain
I tattooed my brain
all the way...
Won't you miss me?
Wouldn't you miss
me at all?
("I
tattooed my brain all the way" - klingt sehr
nach einer Phase der Selbsterkenntnis des Madcaps)
Here I Go (Barrett)
This
is a story 'bout a girl that I knew
she
didn't like my songs
and
that made me feel blue
she
said: "a big band is far better than you"...
She
don't rock 'n' roll, she don't like it
she
don't do the stroll, well she don't do it right
well,
ev'rythings wrong and my patience was gone
when
I woke one morning
and
remembered this song
O-oh-oh,
kinda catchy, I hoped
that
she would talk to me now
and
even allow me to hold her hand
and
forget that old band.
I
strolled around to her pad
her
light was off and that's bad
her
sister said that my girl was gone
"But
come inside, boy, and play, play, play me a song!"
I
said "Yeah! Here I go"
She's
kinda cute; don't you know,
That
after a while of seeing her smile
I
knew we could make it, make it in style!?
So
now I've got all I need
She
and I are in love, we've agreed
she
likes this song and my others too
so
now you see my world is...
because
of this tune!
What
a boon this tune!
I
tell you soon
We'll
be lying in bed, happily wed,
and
I won't think of that girl
or
what she said...
Octopus (Barrett)
Trip
to heave and ho, up down, to and fro'
you
have no word
trip,
trip to a dream dragon
hide
your wings in a ghost tower
sails
cackling at every plate we break
cracked
by scattered needles
the
little minute gong
coughs
and clears his throat
madam
you see before you stand
hey
ho, never be still
the
old original favorite grand
grasshoppers
green Herbarian band
and
the tune they play is "In Us Confide"
so
trip to heave and ho, up down, to and fro'
you
have no word
Please
leave us here
close
our eyes to the octopus ride!
Isn't
it good to be lost in the wood
isn't
it bad so quiet there, in the wood
meant
even less to me than I thought
with
a honey plough of yellow prickly seeds
clover
honey pots and mystic shining feed...
well,
the madcap laughed at the man on the border
hey
ho, huff the Talbot
"Cheat"
he cried shouting kangaroo
it's
true in their tree they cried
Please
leave us here
close
our eyes to the octopus ride!
The
madcap laughed at the man on the border
hey
ho, huff the Talbot
the
winds they blew and the leaves did wag
they'll
never put me in their bag
the
seas will reach and always seep
so
high you go, so low you creep
the
wind it blows in tropical heat
the
drones they throng on mossy seats
the
squeaking door will always squeak
two
up, two down we'll never meet
so
merrily trip forgo my side
Please
leave us here
close
our eyes to the octopus ride!
Golden Hair (Barrett/Joyce)
Lean
out your window, golden hair
I
heard you singing in the midnight air
my
book is closed, I read no more
watching
the fire dance, on the floor
I've
left my book, I've left my room
For
I heard you singing through the gloom
singing
and singing, a merry air
lean
out the window, golden hair...
(Der
Text ist von 1907, von James Joyce)
Long Gone (Barrett)
She
was long gone, long, long gone
she
was gone, gone, the bigger they come
the
larger her hand 'till no one understands
why
for so long she'd been gone.
And
I stood very still by the window sill
and
I wondered for those I love still
I
cried in my mind where I stand behind
the
beauty of love's in her eyes...
She
was long gone, long, long gone
she
was gone, gone, the bigger they come
the
larger her hand 'till no one understands
why
for so long she'd been gone.
And
I borrowed the page
from
a leopard's cage
and
I prowled in the evening sun's glaze
her
head lifted high to the light in the sky
the
opening dawn on her face...
She
was long gone long, long gone
she
was gone, gone, the bigger they come
the
larger her hand 'till no one understands
why
for so long she'd been gone.
And
I stood very still by the window sill
and
I wondered for those I love still
I
cried in my mind where I stand behind
the
beauty of love's in her eyes...
She
was long gone, long, long gone
she
was gone, gone, the bigger they come
the
larger her hand 'till no one understands
why
for so long she'd been gone.
She
was long gone long, long gone.
She Took A Long Cold Look
(Barrett)
She
took a long cold look at me
and
smiled and gazed all over my arm
she
loves to see me get down to ground
she
hasn't time just to be with me
her
face between all she means to be
to
be extreme, just to be extreme
a
broken pier on the wavy sea
she
wonders why for all she wants to see...
But
I got up and I stomped around
and
hid the piece where the trees touch the ground...
The
end of truth that lay out the time
spent
lazing here on a painting dream
a
mile or more in a foreign clime
to
see farther inside of me.
And
looking high up into the sky
I
breathe as the water streams over me...
Feel (Barrett)
You
feel me
away
far too empty, oh so alone!
I
want to go home
Oh
find me inside of a nocturne - the blonde
how
I love you to be by my side
they
wail...
the
crowd on her side
she
straggled the bridge by the water...
She
misses her crawl
far
ley grew
heady
aside in a dell
inside
an eye be the lonely one, my bride
how
I leave on the waddling wheel
they
flail...
a
gasp shringing
a
bad bell's ringing
the
angel - the daughter...
You
feel me...
If It's In You (Barrett)
Yes
I'm thinking of this, yes I am
puddle
town, Tom was the underground
hold
you tighter so close, yes you are
please
hold on to the steel rail
colonel
with gloves
he
isn't loved on 'Sundays Mail'
all
the fives crock Henrietta
she's
mean go-getter
gotta
write her a letter.
Did
I wink of this, I am
yum,
yummy, yum, don't, yummy, yum, yom, yom...
Yes,
I'm thinking of this, in steam
skeleton
kissed to the steel rail
fleas
in Pamela
chugging
along with a funnel of steam
all
the fives crock Henrietta
she's
mean go-getter
gotta
write her a letter...
Late Night (Barrett)
When
I woke up today
and
you weren't there to play
then
I wanted to be with you
when
you showed me your eyes
whispered
love at the skies
then
I wanted to stay with you
inside
me I feel alone and unreal
and
the way you kiss will always be
a
very special thing to me...
When
I lay still at night seeing
stars
high and light
then
I wanted to be with you
when
the rooftops shone dark
all
alone (I) saw a spark
spark
of love just to stay with you
inside
me I feel alone and unreal
and
the way you kiss will always be
a
very special thing to me...
If
I mention your name
turn
around on a chain
then
the sky opens for you
when
we grew very tall
when
I saw you so small
then
I wanted to stay with you
inside
me I feel alone and unreal
and
the way you kiss will always be
a
very special thing to me...
