Lyrics
- 01. Octopus (Barrett)
Trip to heave and ho, up down, to and fro you have no word trip, trip to a dream dragon hide your wings in a ghost tower sails crackiling at ev'ry plate we break cracked by scattered needles little minute gong coughs and clears his throat madam you see before you stand hey ho, never be still the old original favourite gran grasshoppers green herbarian band and the tune they play in us confide... so trip to heave and ho, up down, to and fro' you have no word Please leave us here close our eyes to the octopus ride! Isn't it good to be lost in the wood isn't it bad so quiet there, in the wood twenty even less to me than I thought with a honey plough of yellow prickly seeds clover honey pots and mystic shining feed... well, the madcap laughed at the man on the border hey ho, huff the talbot Cheetah he cried shouted kangaroo so through their tree they cried Please leave us here close our eyes to the octopus ride! The madcap laughed at the man on the border hey ho, huff the talbot the winds they blew and the leaves did wag and they'll never put me in their bag the seas will reach and always see so high you go, so low you creep the winds it blows in tropical heat the drones they throng on mossy seats the squeaking door will always creep two up, two down we'll never meet so merrily trip for good my side Please leave us here close our eyes to the octopus ride!
- 02. Swan Lee (Silas Lang) (Barrett)
Swan Lee got up at the Running Foot pow-wow, heading from the fire to his waiting canoe. Chattering Squaw untied the wigwam door, the chief blew smoke rings two by two!
The land in silence stands...
Swan Lee, his boat by the bank in the darkness, loosened the rope in the creek is entwined. A feather from the wing of a wild young eagle, pointed to the land where his fortune he'd find
The land in silence stands...
Swan Lee paddled on from the land of his fathers, his eyes scanned the undergrowth on either side. From the shore hung a hot, heavy, creature infested tropic, Swan Lee had a bow by his side
The land in silence stands...
Swan Lee kept time, half on land, half on water, Grizzly bear and raccoon his fare. He followed his ears to the great water fall, Swan Lee knew deep down that his squaw was there!
The land in silence stands....
Suddenly the rush of the mighty great thunder, confronted Swan Lee as his song he sang, In the dawn, with his squaw, he was battling homewards It was all written down by Long Silas Lang.
The land in silence stands... The land in silence stands... The land in silence stands.
- 03. Baby Lemonade (Barrett)
In the sad town cold iron hands clap the party of clowns outside rain falls in grey far away please, please, Baby Lemonade
In the evening sun going down when the earth streams in, in the morning send a cage through the post make your name like a ghost please, please, Baby Lemonade
I'm screaming, I met you this way you're nice to me like ice in the clock they sent through a washing machine come around, make it soon, so alone... please, please, Baby Lemonade
In the sad town cold iron hands clap the party of clowns outside rain falls in grey far away please, please, Baby Lemonade
In the evening sun going down when the earth streams in, in the morning send a cage through the post make your name like a ghost please, please, Baby Lemonade
- 04. Late Night (Barrett)
When I woke up today and you weren't there to play then I wanted to be with you when you showed me your eyes whispered love at the skies then I wanted to stay with you inside me I feel alone and unreal and the way you kiss will always be a very special thing to me...
When I lay still at night seeing stars high and light then I wanted to be with you when the rooftops shone dark all alone (I) saw a spark spark of love just to stay with you inside me I feel alone and unreal and the way you kiss will always be a very special thing to me...
If I mention your name turn around on a chain then the sky opens for you when we grew very tall when I saw you so small then I wanted to stay with you inside me I feel alone and unreal and the way you kiss will always be a very special thing to me...
- 05. Wined & Dined (Barrett)
Wined and dined, oh it seemed just like a dream! Girl was so kind. kind of love I'd never seen only last summer, it's not so long ago... just last summer, now must winds blow...
Wined and dined, oh it seemed just like a dream! Girl was so kind. kind of love I'd never seen only last summer, it's not so long ago... just last summer, now must winds blow...
Chalk underfoot, life I should prove dancing in heat, our love and you...
Wined and dined, oh it seemed just like a dream! Girl was so kind. kind of love I'd never seen only last summer, it's not so long ago... just last summer, now must winds blow...
- 06. Golden Hair (Joyce)
Lean out your window, golden hair I heard you singing in the midnight air my book is closed, I read no more watching the fire dance, on the floor I've left my book, I've left my room
For I heard you singing through the gloom singing and singing, a merry air lean out the window, golden hair...
(Lyrics from a poem by James Joyce) (Texte provenant d'un poème de James Joyce)
- 07. Gigolo Aunt (Barrett)
Grooving around in a trench coat with the saturn on trail Seems to be all around in tin and lead pail, we pale Jiving on down to the beach to see the blue and the grey seems to be all and it's rosy-it's a beautiful day!
Will you please keep on the track 'cause I almost want you back 'cause I know what you are you are a giglo aunt, you're a gigolo aunt! Yes I know what you are you are a gigolo aunt, you're a gigolo aunt!
Heading down with the light, the dust in your way she was angrier than, than her watershell male life to this love to me - heading me down to me thunderbird shale seems to be all and it's rosy - it's a beautiful day! will you please keep on the track 'cause I almost want you back 'cause I know what you are you are a giglo aunt
Grooving on down in a napsack superlative day some wish she move and just as she can move jiving away she made the scene should have been-superlative day everything's all and it's rosy, it's a beautiful day will you please keep on the track 'cause I almost want you back 'cause I know what you are you are a giglo aunt...
- 08. Wolfpack (Barrett)
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 far 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...
- 09. It Is Obvious (Barrett)
It is obvious may I say, oh baby, that it is found on another plane? Yes I can creep into cupboards, sleep in the hall your stars - my stars, a simple cock bar only an impulse - pie in the sky mumble listen dolly drift over your mind - holly creep into bed when your head's on the ground she held the torch on the porch, she winked an eye
Reason it is written on the brambles stranded on the spikes - my blood red, oh listen: remember those times I could call through the clear day time - be there... braver and braver, a handkercheif waver the louder you lips to a loud hailer growing together, they ('re) growing each either no wondering, stumbling, fumbling rumbling minds shot togther, our minds shot together...
So equally over a valley, a hill wood on quarry stood, each of us crying a velvet curtain of grey mark the blanket where the sparrows play and the trees by the waving corn stranded my legs move the last empty inches to you the softness, the warmth from the weather in suspense mote to a grog - the star a white chalk minds shot together, our minds shot together...
- 11. No Good Trying (Barrett)
It's no good trying to place your hand where I can't see because I understand that you're different from me yes I can tell that you can't be what you pretend and you're rocking me backwards and you're rocking towards the red and yellow mane of a stallion horse.
It's no good trying to hold your love where I can't see because I understand that you're different from me yes I can tell that you can't be what you pretend the caterpillar hood won't cover the head of you know you should be home in bed.
It's no good holding your sequin fan where I can't see because I understand that you're different from me yes I can tell that you can't be what you pretend yes you're spinning around and around in a car with electric lights flashing very fast...
- 13. Waving My Arms In The Air (Barrett)
Waving My Arms In The Air / I Never Lied To You
Waving my arms in the air love, my love, got no care no care, no, no, pressing my feet to the ground stand up right where you stand call to you and what do you do laying back in a chair? she's so high on the air she's so high on the air half and half, half and half all you have to do to call is hold her her hand, stand a while and then smile and we'll understand yes we do - yes, yes we do! Oh waht a girl I've got too! Oh waht a girl I've got too! with her slinky look she held her tie to her hair (and I) could see everywhere no-one in the land, no-one no-one in the land, no-one but it rains on saturday - cats and dogs in the way stormy day, hey, hey and you shouldn't try to be what you can't be and you shouldn't try to be what you can't be call to you and what do you do
There will be shoulders pressing in the hall and I won't know if you're here at all there will be wine and drinking in the yard there won't be anybody very hard there will be lots of things that we can do and all and more will be for you everything I knew I tried with you but everything to you was never easy so I went ahead around my world I saw the things you do arriving by your side to see you looking too but I know this. I know, I never lied to you it's been just like you're gone for just one day for so long! It's been so hard to bear with you not there but thought I think of you, the things you do when I'm with you, to be with you, to be alone...can only think: "Why I am here? What's meant to be?"
- 14. Opel (Barrett)
On a distant shore, miles from land stands the ebony totem in ebony sand a dream in a mist of grey... on a far distant shore...
The pebble that stood alone and driftwood lies half buried warm shallow waters sweep shells so the cockles shine...
A bare winding carcase, stark shimmers as flies scoop up meat, an empty way... dry tears... crisp black squeaks tore reeds make a circle of grey in a summer way, around man so don't ground...
I'm trying I'm trying to find you! To find you I'm living, I'm giving, To find you, To find you, I'm living, I'm living, I'm trying, I'm giving
