3 Syd Barrett Tunes From The Album 'Barrett'

Recorded from a vinyl LP record copy.

Maisie
Rats
Wolfpack

Maisie (Barrett) 2:51

Maisie, Maisie, Maisie, Maisie...
bad luck, bride of a bull
strode out to meet Maisie in the evening light
Maisie, his illuminous grin put her in a spin
Maisie, lay in the hall
with diamonds and emeralds
Maisie, Maisie...
bad luck - the bride of a bull

Maisie lay in the wall with her emeralds
and diamond brooch, beyond reproach
bad luck - bride of a bull
strode out to meet Maisie in the evening light...
Maisie!




Rats (Barrett) 3:00

Got it hit down
spot knock inside a spider
says: "That's love yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!"
"That's love yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!"
says: "That's love - All know it
TV, teeth, feet, peace, feel it...
"That's love yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!"
"That's love yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!"

like the fall that brings me to
I like the fall that brings me to
I like the cord around sinew
I make a cord around sinew

Duck, the way to least is less
Tea craving of the metal west
'ell tomorrow's rain and test
'ell tomorrow's rain and test
Love an empty son and guess
Love an empty son and guess
pimples dangerous and blessed

Heaving, arriving, tinkling
mingling jets and statuettes
seething wet we meeting fleck
seething wet we meeting fleck
lines and winds and crib and half
each fair day I give you half
of each fair day I give you half
I look into your eyes and you,
flathe in the sun for you...

Bam, spastic, tactile engine
heaving, crackle, slinky, dormy, roofy, wham
I'll have them, fried bloke
broken jardy, cardy, smoocho, moocho, paki, pufftle
sploshette moxy, very smelly,
cable, gable, splintra, channel
top the seam he's taken off

rats, rats lay down flat
we don't need you, we act like that
and if you think you're un-loved
then we know about that...
rats, rats, lay down flat!
yes, yes, yes, yes, lay down flat!




Wolfpack (Barrett) 3:41

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...

[andrew2tone]

what a moron this guy is

[PostToastie]

Yes you are.

[vauxhall908]

hello again going to N.Y.C> tonight to play maybe i'll do some of Syd's songs alot of the younger people don't know who he is, i do thanks to my uncle playing records when i was a 30 yrs. younger...

[PostToastie]

everyone always loves effervescing elephant, anything off of the piper will work, too, like bike, the gnome or lucifer sam, some of Syd's songs, though, are a little too slow and/or weird for most crowds. have fun with it, good luck!

[Windyfur]

well, I can't say it's my favorite music, mainly because I'm too slow to figure out the lyrics whatsoever. Doesn't mean you can't like it, though.

[PostToastie]

There is no figuring out the lyrics, syd claims in the song 'Bike' that most of his lyrics are 'hogword', but he and the boys (went into the room of musical tunes and)made them work.

[catgumart]

there are a lot of people who will never understand or appreciate music like this, im glad im not one them!

[firemachima]

this music isnt too bad considering his breakdown

[Khultan]

 Bah.

[RadioUgly]

It's like Tim Curry or something. ha

[TheRingo524]

Rats :)

[WHOBYFIRE333]

I am so happy to have an original Vinyl !!!!

[Sydwayman]

smoke some weed and listen to "Maise", Bends my mind

[adetik1]

@catgumart Same here, Mac. People seem to view it as a Us V.S. Them thing. Creepy, huh.

[ArnoldLayne6614]

Oh Syd, lo siento tanto, pero olvidé el 7 de julio, y acabo de acordarme, es tan tarde.

[McQueensMustang]

"Dimples dangerous and blessed." yeah.

[nowoolovermine]

I haven't listened to this for 30 yrs but still remember most of the words
