1.CHAPTER 24
Lyrics:Barrett
Music:Barrett
Vocal:Barrett
A movement is accomplished in six stages
and the seventh brings return
The seven is the number of the young light
It falls when darkness is increased by one
Change, returns, success
Going and coming without ever
Action brings good fortune
Sunset
The time is with the month of winter solstice
when the change is due to come
Thunder in the other course of heaven
Things cannot be destroyed once and for all
Change, returns, success
Going and coming without ever
Action brings good fortune
Sunset
Sunrise
A movement is accomplished in six stages
and the seventh brings return
The seven is the number of the young light
It falls when darkness is increased by one
Change, returns, success
Going and coming without ever
Action brings good fortune
Sunset
Sunrise
2.MATILDA MOTHER
Lyrics:Barrett
Music:Barrett
Vocal:Barrett/Wright
There was a King who ruled the land
His Majesty was in command
The silver eyes, the scarlet eagle
showered silver on the people
Oh mother tell me more
Why'd you have to leave me there
hanging in my infant air - waiting
You only have to read the lines as scribbly black
and ev'rything shines
Across the steam with wooden shoes
Bells to tell the King the news
A thousands misty riders climb up high
and once upon a time
Wondering and dreaming
The words have different meaning
Yes they did
All the time spent in the queue
The dollhouse darkness
Old perfume and fairly stories
held me high on clouds of sun light floating by
Oh oh mother
Tell me more
Tell me more
3.Arnold Layne
Lyrics:Barrett
Music:Barrett
Vocal:Barrett
Arnold Layne had a strange hobby
Collecting clothes
Moonshine washing line
They suit him fine
On the wall hung a tall mirror
Distorted view, see through baby blue
Oh, Arnold Layne
It's not the same, takes two to know
Two to know, two to know
Why can't you see?
Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne
Now he's caught - a nasty sort of person
They gave him time
Doors bang - chain gang - he hates it
Oh, Arnold Layne
It's not the same, takes two to know
Two to know, two to know
Why can't you see?
Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne
Don't do it again
4.Candy And A Currant Bun
Lyrics:Barrett
Music:Barrett
Oh my girl sitting in the sky
Go buy candy and encouragement
I like to see you cry
Lay back
Oooh, don't talk to me
Please, just fuck with me
Please you know I'm feeling frail
Talk, talk, talk to me
Please just walk with me
Please no feeling frail
It's true sun's shining very bright
It's you I'm gonna love tonight
Ice cream tastes good in the afternoon
Ice cream tastes good if you eat it soon
Ooh, don't touch me child
Please no !
You drive me wild
Please you know I'm feeling frail
Don't try another cat
Don't go where other you must know why
Ver very very frail
Oh my girl sitting in the sun
Go buy candy and a currant bun
I like to see you run
Like that...
5.THE SCARECROW
Lyrics:Barrett
Music:Barrett
Vocal:Barrett
The black and green scarecrow
as ev'ryone knows
stood with a bird on his hat and straw ev'rywhere
He didn't care
He stood in a field where barley grows
His head did no thinking
His arms didn't move
except when the wind cut up rough
and mice ran around on the ground
He stood in a field where barley grows
The black and green scarecrow was sadder than me
But now he's resigned to his fate
'cause life's not unkind
He doesn't mind
He stood in a field where barley grows
6.APPLES AND ORANGES
Lyrics:Barrett
Music:Barrett
Got a presstop can, cigarettes in my pocket
Going up to the shops
Shopping at shops she's walking with a sunshine tan
Feeling very cool
At the butchers and the bakers and the supermarket stall
Getting ev'rything she wants from the supermarket stall
Apples and oranges
Cornering me as she trips up the street to meet the people
She's on time again and I catch her by the eye
Then I stop and have to think what a funny thing to do
'cos I'm feeling very faint
Apples and oranges
I love she
She loves me
See you
See you
Thought you might like to know
I'm the lorry driver man
She's on the run
Down by the river side
Feeding ducks by the afternoon tide
Apples and oranges
Apples and oranges
Apples and oranges
7.IT WOULD BE SO NICE
Lyrics:Wright
Music:Wright
It would be so nice
It would be so nice to meet sometime
Ev'rybody wakes and in the morning hot tea
Can't stop yawning
Pass the butter please
Have you ever read the Daily Standard
Reading all about the plane that landed upside down
But no one knows what I did today
There can be no other way
But I would just like to say:
It would be so nice
Everybody cares about the weather
Everybody should know better
What a waste of time
Everybody lives beneath the ceiling
Living out a dream that sends them reeling
To a distant place
But no one knows what I did today
There can be no other way
But I would just like to say:
It would be so nice to meet sometime
8.PAINT BOX
Lyrics:Wright
Music:Wright
Vocal:Wright
Last night I had too much to drink
Sitting in a club with so many fools
Playing to rules, trying to impress
But feeling rather empty
I had another drink
What a way to spend that ev'ning!
They all turn up with their friends
Playing the game
They're in the scene
Oh I should have been far away
Getting up, I feel so bad
Remembering what's been before
I open the door
Then I forget
The telephone rings and someone speaks
She would very much like to go out to a show
So what can I do?
I can't think what to say
She'll see thru anyway
Out of the frontdoor I go
Traffic moving rather slow arriving late
There she waits looking very angry
As cross as she can be
Getting up, I feel so bad
Remembering what's been before
I open the door to an empty room
Then I forget
9.Julia Dream
Lyrics:Waters
Music:Waters
Vocal:Gilmour
Sunlight bright upon my pillow
Lighter than an eiderdown
Will she let the weeping willow
Wind his branches round
Julia dream, dreamboat queen, queen of all my dreams
Every night I turn the light out
Waiting for the velvet bride
Will the scaly armadillo
Find me where I'm hiding
Julia dream, dreamboat queen, queen of all my dreams
Will the misty master break me
Will the key unlock my mind
Will the following footsteps catch me
Am I really dying
Julia dream, dreamboat queen, queen of all my dreams
10.SEE EMILY PLAY
Lyrics:Barrett
Music:Barrett
Vocal:Barrett
Emily tries but misundestands
She's only inclined yo borrow somebodys dream
'till tomorrow
There is no other day
Let's try it another way
You'll loose your mind and play
three games for may
See Emily Play
Soon after dark Emily cries
She's gazing at trees in sorrow
Hardly a sound 'till tomorrow
There is no other day
Let's try it another way
You'll loose your mind and play
three games for may
See Emily Play
Put on a gown that touches the ground
Float on a river for ever and ever
Emily
There is no other day
Let's try it another way
You'll loose your mind and play
three games for may
See Emily Play
See Emily Play
