Barrett lyrics

In the sad town

cold iron hands clap

the party of clowns outside

rain falls in gray 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

I knew a girl and I like her still

she said she knew she would trust me

and I her will...
I said: OK baby, tell me what you'll be

and I'll lay my head down and see what I see.

By the time she was back

by her open eyes

I knew that I was in for a big surprise.

I knew a girl and I like her still

she said she knew she would trust me

and I her will...

It's an idea, someday

in my tears, my dreams

don't you want to see her proof?

Life that comes of no harm
you and I, you and I and dominoes, the day goes by...

You and I in place

wasting time on dominoes

a day so dark, so warm

life that comes of no harm

you and I and dominoes, time goes by...

Fireworks and heat, someday

hold a shell, a stick or play

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

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!"

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

Grooving around in a trench coat

with the satin entrail

Seems to be all around in tin and lead pail, we pale

Jiving on down to the beach
to see the blue and the gray

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 gigolo aunt, you're a gigolo aunt!

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...

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...

An Effervescing Elephant

with tiny eyes and great big trunk

once whispered to the tiny ear

the ear of one inferior
that by next June he'd die, oh yeah!

because the tiger would roam.

The little one said: "Oh my goodness I must stay at home!

and every time I hear a growl

I'll know the tiger's on the prowl

and I'll be really safe, you know

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 hand, stand a while

and then smile and we'll understand
