Syd Barrett dies

[Bluebirds]

Apologies if anyones mentioned this but Syd Barrett has died....

I'm not a fan of Pink Floyd apart from the LP Piper At The Gates Of Dawn... yd's LP.

He was only 60. A true acid casualty passes away.

Wonder if he managed to paint his fridge green again before going to pastures new.

I don't know where Syd Barrett lives anymore, what a shame.

We will see him on the dark side of the moon. RIP Syd!

The lunatic is on the grass.
The lunatic is on the grass.
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs.
Got to keep the loonies on the path.

The lunatic is in the hall.
The lunatics are in my hall.
The paper holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more.

And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.

The lunatic is in my head.
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'til I'm sane.
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head but it's not me.

And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear.
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.

"I can't think of anything to say except...
I think it's marvelous! HaHaHa!"


If you know nothing about Syd Barrett I suggest you get
Relics - Pink Floyd

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 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.

A very special thing to me...

Inside me I feel alone and unreal
And the way you kiss will always be
A very special thing to me.

This will always be a very special song to me! I'm not a big Pink Floyd fan, but I loved Syd with all of my heart.

A true tragic hero...
RIP
