Pink floyd. The Best Of Pink Floyd. (p)1974
A movement is accomplished in six stages
And the seventh brings return
The seven is the number of the young light
If forms when darkness isn't creased by one
Change returns success
Going and coming without error
Action brings good fortune
Senset, sunrise
The time is with the month of winter solstice
When the change is due to come
Thunder in the early course of heaven
Things cannot be destroyed once and all for all
Matilda Mother (S. Barrett)
There was a king who ruled the land
His Majesty was in command
With silver eyes the scarlet eagle
Showered silver on the people
Oh mother tell me more
Why'd you have to leave me there
Handing in my infant chair
Waiting
You only have to read the lines
They're scribbled in black and everything shines
Across the stream with wooden shoes
Bells to tell the king the news
A thousand misty riders climb up
Higher once upon a time
Wandering and dreaming
The world had different meanings
Yes they did
For all the time spent in that view
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
The Scarecrow (S. Barrett)
The black and green scarecrow as everyone knows
Stood with a bird on his hat and swore
Everywhere he didn't care
He stood in a field where barley grows
His head did no thinking, his arms didn't move
Except when the wind cut-a-pup and mice ran
Around and ground
He stood in a field where barley grows
The black and green scarecrow was sadder than me
But now he's resined to his fate 'cause life's not
Unkind, he doesn't mind
He stood in a field where barley grows
Arnold Layne (S. Barrett)
Arnold Layne had a strange hobby
Collecting clothes, moonshine washing lines
They suit him fine
On the wall hung a tall mirror
Distorted view, see through, baby blue
He got it
Oh Arnold Layne, it's not the same
It takes two to know, two to know, two to know, two to know
Why can't you see
Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne
Arnold Layne
Now he's caught a nasty sort of person
They gave him time, doors bang chaingand
He hated
Arnold Layne, Arnold Laune
Arnold Laune
Arnold Laune
Don't do it again
Candy and a Current Bun (S. Barrett)
Oh my girl sitting in the sun
Go buy candy and a current bun
I like good to see you
Lay flat
Oh talk talk sweet
Please just fuck with me,
Pleas no feeling afraid
It's truy sun shining very bright
It's you I'm gonna love tonight
Icecream tasted good in the afternoon
Icecream tasted good if you eat it soon
Don't touch me child
Please, you know you drive me wild
Please, you know I'm feeling frail
Don't try another cat
Don't go a lot like thet you must known
I'm very very very bad
Apples and Oranges (S. Barrett)
Got a fliptop pack cigarettes in the pocket
Feeling good at the top shopping at shops
She's walking in the sunshine town
Feeling very cool
But the butchers and the bakers
In the supermarket stores
Getting everything she wants
From the supermarket store
Apples and oranges
Apples and oranges
Cornering meekly she trips up sweetly
To met the people
She's on time again
And then, I catch her by the eye
Then stop and have to think
What a funny thing to do
'cause I'm feeling very thin
I love she
She loves me
See you, see you, see you
Thought you might like to known
I'm a lorrydriver man
She's on the run
Down by the rivierside
Feeding duck in the afternoon time
It Would Be So Nice (R. Wright)
It would be so nice to leave some time
It would be so nice to leave some time
It would be so nice to leave some time
Everybody wakes and in the morning
Hot tea can't stop yarning
Pass the butter please
Have you ever read the Daily Standard
Reading all about the plane thet's landed
Upside down
Everyone knows what I do today
There can be no other way
But I would just like to say
Everybody cares about the weather
But everybody should know better
What a waste of time
Everybody lives beneath the ceiling
Living out a dream thet sends them reeling
To a distant plase
But no one knows what I do today
There can be no other way
But I would just like to say
Last night I had too much to drink
Sitting in a club with so many fools
Playing to rules
Trying to impress and feeling rather empty
I had another drink
What a way to spend that evening
You don't turn up with their friends
Playing their game
Here in the scene or it should be
Far away
Getting up first without remembering
Where I've been
I open the door to an empty room
Then I forget
The telephone rings and someone speaks
She would very much like to go
Out to a show
So what can I do, I can't think what to say
She sees through any way
Out of the front door I go
Traffic's moving rather slow
Arriving late
There she waits looking very angry
As cross as she can be
Sunlight bright upon my pillow
Lighter than an eiderdown
Wishing that the weeping-willow
Winds its branches round
Julia dream
Dream that queen
Queen of all my dreams
Every night I turn the light out
Waiting for the velvet bride
Will the scaly armadillo
Find me where I'm hiding
Will the misty master break me
Will the key unclock my mind
Will the following fortsteps catch me
Am I realy dying
See Emily Play (S. Barrett)
Emily tries but misunderstands
She's often inclined to borrow
Somebody's dreams till tomorrow
There is no other day
Let's try it another way
You'll loose your mind and play
Free games today
See Emily play
Soon after dark Emily cries
Gazing through trees in sorrow
Hardly a sound till tomorrow
Put on a gown that toches the ground
Float on a river
For ever and ever
Emily, Emily
