Astronomy Domine (Barrett)

Lime and limpid green, a second scene
A fight between the blue you once knew.
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 scare Dan Dare who's there ...

Lime and limpid green
The sounds surrounds the icy waters under
Lime and limpid green
The sounds surrounds the icy waters
Underground

 

 

Lucifer Sam (Barrett)

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

Night prowling sifting sand
Padding around on the ground
He'll be found
When you're around
That cat's something I can't explain

 

 

Matilda Mother (Barrett)

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 you have to leave me there
Hanging in my infant air waiting
You only have to read the lines of
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 meanings
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 (Barrett)

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 fear
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 skies
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

 

 

Take Up Thy Stethoscope and Walk (Waters)

Doctor doctor
I'm in bed
Doctor doctor
Achining head
Doctor doctor gold is lead
Doctor doctor choke on bread
Doctor doctor underfed
Doctor doctor gold is lead
Doctor doctor Jesus bled
Doctor doctor pain is red
Doctor doctor dark doom
Gruel ghoul greasy spoon

Music seems to help the pain
Seems to motivate the brain
Doctor kindly tell your wife
That I'm alive
Flowers thrive
Realize
Realize
Realize

The Gnome (Barrett)

I want to tell you a story
About a little man If I can
A gnome named Grimble Gromble
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
Ooh my ...

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
Ooh my ooh my ...

 

 

Chapter 24 (Barrett)

All 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 Earth, 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

All 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
Sunrise

 

 

The Scarecrow (Barrett)

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 when 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 (Barrett)

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

Let There Be More Light (Waters)

Far, far, far away - way
People heard him say - say
I will find a way - way
There will come a day - day
Something will be done
Then at last the mighty ship descending on a point of flame
Made contact with the human race at Mildenhall

Now, now, now is the time - time
To be - be - be aware
Carter's father saw him there
And knew the Rhull revealed to him
The living soul of Hereward the Wake

Oh, my, something in my eye - eye
Something in the sky - sky
Waiting there for me
The outer lock rolled slowly back
The servicemen were heard to sigh
For there revealed in flowing robes was Lucy in the sky

Oh - oh did you ever ?
No - no never ever will they
I'll say !

Summoning his cosmic power
And glowing slightly from his toes
His psychic emanations flowed




Remember a Day (Wright)

Remember a day before today
A day when you were young
Free to play alone with time
Evening never comes

Sing a song that can't be sung
Without the morning's kiss
Queen you shall be it if you wish
Look for your king

Why can't we play today ?
Why can't we stay that way ?

Climb your favorite apple tree
Try to catch the sun
Hide from your little brother's gun
Dream yourself away
Why can't we reach the sun ?
Why can't we blow the years away ?
Blow away



Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun (Waters)

Little by little the night turns around
Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn
Lotus's lean on each other in yearning
Over the hills a swallow is resting
Set the controls for the heart of the sun

Over the mountain watching the watcher
Breaking the darkness waking the grapevine
Knowledge of love is knowledge of shadow
Love is the shadow that ripens the wine
Set the controls for the heart of the sun.
The heart of the sun - the heart of the sun

Witness the man who waves the wall
Making the shape of his question to heaven
Whether the sun will fall in the evening
Will he remember the lesson of giving ?
Set the controls for the heart of the sun
The heart of the sun - the heart of the sun




Corporal Clegg (Waters)

Corporal Clegg had a wooden leg
He won it in the war
In nineteen fory four

Corporal Clegg had a medal too
In orange, red and blue
He found it in the zoo

Dear oh dear, oh are they really sad for me?
Dear oh dear, oh will they really laugh at me?

Missus Clegg, you must be proud of him
Missus Clegg, another drop of gin ?
Corporal Clegg umbrella in the rain
He's never been the same
No one is to blame

Corporal Clegg received his medal in a dream
From her Majesty the Queen
His boots were very clean
Missus Clegg, you must be proud of him
Missus Clegg, another drop of gin ?

See Saw (Wright)

Marigolds are very much in love
But he doesn't mind
Picking up his sister
He makes his way into the see~saw land
All the way up she smiles
She goes up while he goes down, down

Sits on a stick in the river
Laughter in his sleep
Sister's throwing stones hoping for a hit
He doesn't know, so then
She goes up while he goes down, down

Another time, another day
A brother's way to leave
Another time, another day

Selling plastic flowers on a Sunday afternoon
Picking up weeds
She hasn't got the time to care
All can see he's not there
She grows up for another man, and he's down

Another time, another day
A brother's way to leave
Another time, another day



Jugband Blues (Barrett)

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 we 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 ?
