Syd Barrett-If It's in You

Yes I'm thinking of this, yes I am
Puddletown Tom was the underground
Hold you tighter so close, yes you are
Please hold on to the steel rail

Colonel with gloves
Strauss leaches
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
Strauss leaches
Chugging along with a funnel of steam
All the fives crock Henrietta
She's mean go-getter
Gotta write her a letter...

Syd Barrett is the shit. One of the GREATEST.

[Leadhead444]

You got that right!!

[valaurwen]

I'm sure that there are other versions of this song. He sounds almost as if he's joking about when singing this version. I don't get why they're still keeping so much of the Barrett recordings that they have under lock ad key! It's depressing and upsetting.

[Leadhead444]

Alot of people like it!! i think it's amazing but we are all different so it's your opinion!! i guess some people just really dig it though!!!

[bassist448]

It's haunting how he stretches out words like "thinking" he was a true genius.

[infinitalocura]

you forget the amazing beggining of the song!!

[Poindexter Q]

You can really hear why The Sex Pistols, The Damned, and tons of other musicians and producers wanted him to come out of retirement all through the 70's... I think almost all of them gave up by the 80's.

Depression did a hit ton of mandies and being an emotional guy cudnt admit to failure an being ditched by ur close friends an watchin them become rich off of what u made regardless how many songs he wrote they were a jugband an did wat he said, David Gilmore a leech an too generic I like later Floyd but in comparison to syd Gilmore 1 Ina million... There's my drunk rant sorry

[ramblinman111]

Syd wasn't acid casualty he suffered from

[kingjojothegreat]

wonderfully out of tune

"Skeleton kissed to the steel rail"

Years later Pink Floyd writes in "Wish You Were Here"

"Can you tell a green field to a cold steel rail?"

Makes the lyrics hit you that much harder.

mahala



[Jhonatan Carlos]

acid is good, but if you don't know how to use.... is sad

[Deadlydanish]

I'm learning this song today on his birthday, from an album released on my birthday.

[Ivan Rodríguez]

Actually, the --lyrics-- are ... yum, yummy, yum, don't, yummy, yom, yum, yom...

instead of yum, yummy, yum, don't, yummy, yum, yom, yom...
