Syd Barrett-Rats

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!

Syd Barrett; You Rock!!

[Leadhead444]

@makenoises Finally someone says this rock and you didn't say something like this is too depressing or this isn't even music or singing...thank you for being different! :)

[chrisedelic77]

Syd Barrett + E chord =

[ForeverTreesGreen]

Fantastic. Syd was a lost genius, but even when he was mad with drugs, this is a masterpiece.

[theblahman]

@fmxkool I agree- they are, and I love those albums. its not the obscurity of the Barrett recordings I love but the pockets of sheer genius contained within in them.

[fmxkool]

@theblahman dude....syd was awesome....but get your shit together...dark side of the moon and the wall might be the two best albums ever made. i hate these posers who say..."im only into the obscure stuff, man....that's how hip i am".... gimme a break!!!! syd was great, but waters was able to make amazingly original, unique music that was still pallitable for the masses...which is the hardest thing to do in music

[theblahman]

Syd had it, even when he didnt, Syd at his his worst is still better than anything off Dark Side or WIsh You Were, Syds musical appeal is that it lays somewhere between a garage rock anyone can do it approach and absolute conceptual noone can touch him genius.

The floyd should have kept him? He WAS the floyd!

This song reminds me of a confusing high school winter.
