WOLFPACK Howling the pack in formation appears diamonds and clubs, light misted fog, the dead waving us back in formation, the pack in formation bowling they bat as a group and the leader is seen - so early... the pack on their backs, the fighters through misty the waving - the pack in formation far reaching waves on sight, shone right I lay as if in surround... all enmeshing, hovering... the milder I gaze all the animals laying trail beyond the bough winds mild the reflecting electricity eyes... tears, the life that was ours grows sharper and stronger away and beyond short wheeling - fresh spring gripped with blanched bones - moaned magnesium, proverbs and sobs... howling the pack in formation appears diamonds and clubs, light misted fog, the dead waving us back in formation, the pack in formation... EFFERVESCING ELEPHANT An Effervescing Elephant with tiny eyes and great big trunk once whispered to the tiny ear the ear of one inferior that by next June he'd die, oh yeah! because the tiger would roam. The little one said: "Oh my goodness I must stay at home! and every time I hear a growl I'll know the tiger's on the prowl and I'll be really safe, you know the elephant he told me so." Everyone was nervy, oh yeah! and the message was spread to zebra, mongoose, and the dirty hippopotamus who wallowed in the mud and chewed his spicy hippo-plankton food and tended to ignore the word preferring to survey a herd of stupid water bison, oh yeah! And all the jungle took fright, and ran around for all the day and the night but all in vain, because, you see, the tiger came and said: "Who me?! You know, I wouldn't hurt not one of you. I'd much prefer something to chew and you're all to scant." oh yeah! He ate the Elephant ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- FROM THE ALBUM "The Madcap Laughs" ------------------------------------------------------------- TERRAPIN I really love you and I mean you the star above you, crystal blue Well, oh baby, my hairs on end about you...

(last verse mostly garbled....but you can pick out Tell me, Tell me, Tell me Yippee and also: Heavily Spaced. According to legend, this verse was originally meant to be understood, but when they f**ked it up in the studio, Syd liked it and kept it that way...) - Psycho DARK GLOBE 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? HERE I GO 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...

GOLDEN HAIR (These lyrics are originally from "Chamber Music" by James Joyce (1907) 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... LONG GONE 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 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 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 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 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... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- FROM THE ALBUM "Opel" ---------------------------------------- OPEL On a distant shore, miles from land stands the ebony totem in ebony sand a dream in a mist of gray... on a far distant shore...

Chattering Squaw untied the wigwam door, the chief blew smoke rings two by two! The land in silence stands... Swan Lee, his boat by the bank in the darkness, loosened the rope in the creek is entwined. A feather from the wing of a wild young eagle, pointed to the land where his fortune he'd find The land in silence stands Swan Lee paddled on from the land of his fathers, his eyes scanned the undergrowth on either side. From the shore hung a hot, heavy, creature infested tropic, Swan Lee had a bow by his side The land in silence stands Swan Lee kept time, half on land, half on water, Grizzly bear and raccoon his fare. He followed his ears to the great water fall, Swan Lee knew deep down that his squaw was there! The land in silence stands.... Suddenly the rush of the mighty great thunder, confronted Swan Lee as his song he sang, In the dawn, with his squaw, he was battling homewards It was all written down by Long Silas Lang. The land in silence stands... The land in silence stands... The land in silence stands.

ROOFTOP IN A THUNDERSTORM ROW MISSING THE POINT (unreleased) With yellow, red and roomy food, and quivered crouching on a golden cushion undressed himself to disappear through an infinity of pleasure and smiled to free the running me with "Am I my brother's keeper?" his meek hand on devils gloves shaping running blood. The prophecy, to ricreate the truth in visions of a seasonal mood in truth, the only sight he saw lay hidden in the bathroom door and spat on the rug as high is high, so low is low and that's the end of it. TWO OF A KIND (on Peel Sessions) Open your eyes and don't be blind can't you see we're two of a kind?

Floating down, the sound resounds Around the icy waters underground. Jupiter and Saturn, Oberon, Miranda and Titania. Neptune, Titan, Stars can frighten. Blinding signs flap Flicker, flicker, flicker blam. Pow, pow. Stairway scared and death rules there Lime and limpid green, the sounds around the icy waters under Lime and limpid green, the sounds around the icy waters underground. LUCIFER SAM Lucifer Sam, Siam cat. Always sitting by your side Always by your side. That cat's something I can't explain. Jennifer Gentle you're a witch. You're the left side He's the right side. Oh, no! That cat's something I can't explain. Lucifer go to sea. Be a hip cat, be a ship's cat. Somewhere, anywhere. That cat's something I can't explain. At night prowling sifting sand. Hiding around on the ground. He'll be found when you're around. That cat's something I can't explain. MATILDA MOTHER There was a king who ruled the land. His majesty was in command. With silver eyes the scarlet eagle Showers silver on the people. Oh Mother, tell me more. Why'd'ya have to leave me there Hanging in my infant air waiting? You only have to read the lines They're scribbly black and everything shines. Across the stream with wooden shoes With bells to tell the king the news A thousand misty riders climb up Higher once upon a time. Wandering and dreaming The words have different meaning. Yes they did. For all the time spent in that room The doll's house, darkness, old perfume And fairy stories held me high on Clouds of sunlight floating by. Oh Mother, tell me more Tell me more. FLAMING Alone in the clouds all blue Lying on an eiderdown. Yippee! You can't see me But I can you. Lazing in the foggy dew Sitting on a unicorn. No fair, you can't hear me But I can you. Watching buttercups cup the light Sleeping on a dandelion. Too much, I won't touch you But then I might. Screaming through the starlit sky Traveling by telephone. Hey ho, here we go Ever so high. Alone in the clouds all blue Lying on an eiderdown. Yippee! You can't see me But I can you. THE GNOME I want to tell you a story About a little man If I can. A gnome named Grimble Grumble. And little gnomes stay in their homes. Eating, sleeping, drinking their wine. He wore a scarlet tunic, A blue green hood, It looked quite good. He had a big adventure Amidst the grass Fresh air at last. Wining, dining, biding his time. And then one day - hooray! Another way for gnomes to say Hoooooooooray. Look at the sky, look at the river Isn't it good? Look at the sky, look at the river Isn't it good? Winding, finding places to go. And then one day - hooray! Another way for gnomes to say Hoooooooooray. Hooooooooooooooray. CHAPTER 24 A movement is accomplished in six stages And the seventh brings return. The seven is the number of the young light It forms when darkness is increased by one. Change returns success Going and coming without error. Action brings good fortune. Sunset. The time is with the month of winter solstice When the change is due to come. Thunder in the other course of heaven. Things cannot be destroyed once and for all. Change returns success Going and coming without error. Action brings good fortune. Sunset, sunrise. A movement is accomplished in six stages And the seventh brings return.

THE SCARECROW The black and green scarecrow as everyone knows Stood with a bird on his hat and straw everywhere. He didn't care. He stood in a field where barley grows. His head did no thinking His arms didn't move except then the wind cut up Rough and mice ran around on the ground He stood in a field where barley grows. The black and green scarecrow is sadder than me But now he's resigned to his fate 'Cause life's not unkind - he doesn't mind. He stood in a field where barley grows. BIKE I've got a bike. You can ride it if you like. It's got a basket, a bell that rings and things to make it look good. I'd give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it. You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world. I'll give you anything, everything if you want things. I've got a cloak. It's a bit of a joke. There's a tear up the front. It's red and black, I've had it for months. If you think it could look good, then I guess it should. You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world. I'll give you anything, everything if you want things. I know a mouse, and he hasn't got a house. I don't know why. I call him Gerald. He's getting rather old, but he's a good mouse. You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world. I'll give you anything, everything if you want things. I've got a clan of gingerbread men. Here a man, there a man, lots of gingerbread men. Take a couple if you wish. They're on the dish. You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world. I'll give you anything, everything if you want things. I know a room of musical tunes. Some rhyme, some ching. Most of them are clockwork. Let's go into the other room and make them work. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- other Syd PF songs ---------------------------- JUGBAND BLUES (from the album "Saucerful of Secrets") It's awfully considerate of you to think of me here And I'm much obliged to you for making it clear That I'm not here. And I never knew the moon could be so big And I never knew the moon could be so blue And I'm grateful that you threw away my old shoes And brought me here instead dressed in red And I'm wondering who could be writing this song. I don't care if the sun don't shine And I don't care if nothing is mine And I don't care if I'm nervous with you I'll do my loving in the winter. And the sea isn't green And I love the queen And what exactly is a dream And what exactly is a joke.
