A Collection of songs - Roger Keith Barrett

Album Notes


Terrapin

I really love you and I mean you

the star above you, crystal blue

Well, oh baby, my hairs on end about you...

I wouldn't see you and I love to

I fly above you, yes I do

well, oh baby, my hairs on end about you...

Floating, bumping, noses dodge a tooth

the fins aluminous fangs all 'round

the clam is dark below the boulders hiding all

the sunlight's good for us

'Cause we're the fishes and all we do

the move about is all we do

well, oh baby, my hairs on end about you...

Floating, bumping, noses dodge a tooth

the fins aluminous fangs all 'round

the clam is dark below the boulders hiding all

the sunlight's good for us

'Cause we're the fishes and all we do

the move about is all we do

well, oh baby, my hairs on end about you...

I really love you and I mean you

the star above you, crystal blue

Well, oh baby, my hairs on end about you...

 

No Good Trying

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...

 

Love You

Honey love you, honey little,

honey funny sunny morning

love you more funny love in the skyline baby

ice-cream 'scuse me,

I've seen you looking good the other evening

Oh, you dig it, had to smile just an hour or so

(are) we in love like I think we be?

It Ain't a long rhyme.

It took ages to think

I think I love it in the water, baby...

Honey love you, honey little,

honey funny sunny morning

love you more funny love in the skyline baby

ice-cream 'scuse me,

I've seen you looking good the other evening

Flaking you are an nice little one

to put it all around, its just good

I like it, hey hey hey

S'pose some time that day

we'll be swinging along over across to me

Honey love you, honey little,

honey funny sunny morning

love you more funny love in the skyline baby

ice-cream 'scuse me,

I've seen you looking good the other evening

Goodtime rocker woman we'll stray our pieces

little creepy we shine so sleepy,

so whoopee!

That's how you look...

Honey love you, honey little,

honey funny sunny morning

love you more funny love in the skyline baby

ice-cream 'scuse me,

I've seen you looking good the other evening

 

No Man's Land

You would hold your head up high

you even try

you would hold another hand:

oh understand!

They even see me under call

we under all,

we awful, awful, crawl

to hear my hour

come see me cry...

Just searching you even try

I can make you smile

if it's there will you go there too?

When I live I die!

They even see me under call

we under all, we awful, awful, crawl

because of you, to see me be.

 

Dark Globe

Oh where are you now

pussy willow that smiled on this leaf?

When I was alone you promised the stone from your heart

my head kissed the ground

I was half the way down, treading the sand

please, please, lift a hand

I'm only a person whose armbands beat

on his hands, hang tall

won't you miss me?

Wouldn't you miss me at all?

The poppy birds way

swing twigs coffee brands around

brandish her wand with a feathery tongue

my head kissed the ground

I was half the way down, treading the sand

please, please, please lift the hand

I'm only a person with eskimo chain

I tattooed my brain all the way...

Won't you miss me?

Wouldn't you miss me at all?

 

Here I go

This is a story 'bout a girl that I knew

she didn't like my songs

and that made me feel blue

she said: "a big band is far better than you"...

She don't rock 'n' roll, she don't like it

she don't do the stroll, well she don't do it right

well, every things wrong and my patience was gone

when I woke one morning

and remembered this song

O-oh-oh, kinda catchy, I hoped

that she would talk to me now

and even allow me to hold her hand

and forget that old band.

I strolled around to her pad

her light was off and that's bad

her sister said that my girl was gone

"But come inside, boy, and play, play, play me a song!"

I said "Yeah! Here I go"

She's kinda cute, don't you know?

That after a while of seeing her smile

I knew we could make it, make it in style!

So now I've got all I need

She and I are in love, we've agreed

she likes this song and my others too

so now you see my world is...

because of this tune!

What a boon this tune!

I tell you soon

We'll be lying in bed, happily wed,

and I won't think of that girl

or what she said...

 

Octopus

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 crackling at every 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 favorite 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!

 

Golden Hair

Lean out your window, golden hair

I heard you singing in the midight 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...

 

Long Gone

She was long gone, long, long gone

she was gone, gone, the bigger they come

the larger her hand 'till no one understands

why for so long she'd been gone.

And I stood very still by the window sill

and I wondered for those I love still

I cried in my mind where I stand behind

the beauty of love's in her eyes...

She was long gone, long, long gone

she was gone, gone, the bigger they come

the larger her hand 'till no one understands

why for so long she'd been gone.

And I borrowed the page

from a leopard's cage

and I prowled in the evening sun's glaze

her head lifted high to the light in the sky

the opening dawn on her face...

She was long gone long, long gone

she was gone, gone, the bigger they come

the larger her hand 'till no one understands

why for so long she'd been gone.

And I stood very still by the window sill

and I wondered for those I love still

I cried in my mind where I stand behind

the beauty of love's in her eyes...

She was long gone long, long gone

she was gone, gone, the bigger they come

the larger her hand 'till no one understands

why for so long she'd been gone.

She was long gone long, long gone.

 

She Took A Long Cold Look

She took a long cold look at me

and smiled and gazed all over my arm

she loves to see me get down to ground

she hasn't time just to be with me

her face between all she means to be

to be extreme, just to be extreme

a broken pier on the wavy sea

she wonders why for all she wants to see...

But I got up and I stomped around

and hid the piece where the trees touch the ground...

The end of truth that lay out the time

spent lazing here on a painting dream

a mile or more in a foreign clime

to see farther inside of me.

And looking high up into the sky

I breathe as the water streams over me...

 

Feel

You feel me

away far too empty, oh so alone!

I want to go home

Oh find me inside of a nocturn - the blonde

how I love you to be by my side

they wail...

the crowd on her side

she straggled the bridge by the water...

She misses her crawl

far ley grew

heady aside in a dell

inside an eye be the lonely one, my bride

how I leave on the waddling wheel

they flail...

a gasp shringing

a bad bell's ringing

the angel - the daughter...

You feel me...

 

If It's In You

Yes I'm thinking of this, yes I am

puddle town, Tom was the under ground

hold you tighter so close, yes you are

please hold on to the steel rail

colonel with gloves

-draughts leeches

he isn't loved on 'Sundays Mail'

all the fives crock henrietta

she's mean go-getter

gotta write her a letter.

Did I wink of this, I am

yum, yummy, yum, don't, yummy, yum, yom, yom...

Yes, I'm thinking of this, in steam

skeleton kissed to the steel rail

fleas in Pamela

-gloves -draughts leeches

chugging along with a funnel of steam

all the fives crock Henrietta

she's mean go-getter

gotta write her a letter...

 

Late Night

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...

 

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

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

 

Love Song

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...

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.

 

Dominoes

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

overheard a lark today

losing when my mind's astray

don't you want to know with your pretty hair

stretch your hand, glad feel,

in an echo for your way.

It's an idea, someday...

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...

 

It Is Obvious

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 handkerchief waver

the louder you lips to a loud hailer

growing together, they ('re) growing each either

no wondering, stumbling, fumbling

rumbling minds shot together,

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...

 

Rats

Got it hit down

spot knock inside a spider

said: "That's love yeh, yeh, yeah!"

said: "That's love yeh, yeh, yeah!"

said: "That's love - All know it

TV, teeth, feet, peace, feel it...

That's love, yeh, yeh, yeah!"

That's love, yeh, yeh, yeah!"

I like the fall that brings me to

I make a cord around sinew

Duck the weight and east is less

Deep craving of the metal west

hell tomorrow's rain and test

hell tomorrow's rain and test

Love an empty sun and guess

dimples dangerous and blessed

Heaving, arriving, tinkeling

mingling jet and statuettes

seething wet we meet in fleck

seething wet we meet in fleck

lines and winds and freeben half

each fair day I give you half

of each fair day I give you half

I look into your eyes anew,

laying in the sun for you...

Blam, splattered, tactile, engine

heaving, quacky, squeaky, dormy, roofy, wham

I'll have them mind blown

broken jardy, cardy, smoocho, poocho, paki, puffi

splosh eat moxy, very smelly,

cable, gable, splinter, shaddle

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!

 

Maisie

Maisie, Maisie, Maisie, Maisie...

bad luck, bride of a bull

strode out to meet Masie 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

strode out to meet Maisie in the evening light...

Maisie!

 

Gigolo Aunt

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...

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?"

 

Wined And Dined

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...

 

Wolfpack

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...

 

Opel

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

 

Bob Dylan Blues

I've got the Bob Dylan Blues

I've got the Bob Dylan Blues

My hair and my hat's in a messa

But I don't give a damn about that!

 

Milky Way

What'd you ever say today when you're in the milky way

oh tell me please

-just to give you a squeeze

if I met you - I told you what to do

seems a while

since I could smile the way you do...

how many times, if I try, if I may,

when you're in the milky way

half of your time -beside me only atmosphere

- the singular raised by heats and wet seems a while

since I could smile the way you do...

What can anyone mean to you

standing in the milky way

take life easy

- I mean so easy

Why so empty...?

I told you - I can tell you

what to do - when I hold you

and I tell you "I love you"

I feel that I'm way you do...

Give a grasp of life today

when you're in the milky way

oh, try to please! Knock on wood of the trees

glad you, mould you, mould you and hold you

means five miles

and everyway for you...

 

Birdy Hop

Birdy Hop - he do, he hop along

a lonely bird upon a window there

he, he, there he blow

a windy snow, he knew the snow,

I know the snow, a hoppy bird

The antelope ride around the parasole

just to see if he's a man

enough to meet you in the sandpit

on a flying kind of sign in a meddlesome way

you know the way - I see the flies

she's a little kite the sort

you think you might like to fly

and like a kite you get to see her

every night, you know the way

she's only paving her way -

hectochrome plane - I see the flies.

Birdy Hop - he do, he hop along

a lonely bird upon a window there

he, he, there he blow

a windy snow, he knew the snow,

I know the snow, a hoppy bird

A camel woke up to a polish dawn

wouldn't look to see his feet had gone

he wouldn't like it

wouldn't have the strength to fight it,

I see the flies

I'm the only bird, a little third,

I lost a quarter

had a yearning to be earning just a dollar a day

in a way you shouldn't like it, hectochrome plane

I see the flies.

Rooftop In A Thunderstorm Row Missing The Point

With yellow, red and roomy food, and quivered

crouching on a golden cushion

undressed himself to disappear

through an infinity of pleasure

and smiled to free the running me

with "Am I my brother's keeper?"

his meek hand on devils gloves

shaping running blood.

The prohecy, to ricreate the truth

in visions of a seasonal mood

in truth, the only sight he saw

lay hidden in the bathroom door

and spat on the rug

as high is high, so low is low

and that's the end of it.

 

Two of A Kind

Open your eyes and don't be blind

can't you see we're two of a kind?

I've got to say this, I hope you don't mind

I love you, we're two of a kind

Just ask yourself and you will find

we go together, we're two of a kind

no use protesting, be resigned

baby you know, we're two of a kind

I knew it when I saw you

I felt it a little more when

I talked with you at first

all my blues dispersed

I couldn't disguise

my complete surprise

when you were feeling it too

I'm in love with you, I'm in love with you...

Open your eyes and don't be blind

can't you see we're two of a kind?

I've got to say this, I hope you don't mind

I love you, we're two of a kind

 

Effervescing Elephant

An effervescing elephant

with tiny eyes, and great big trunk

once whispered to the tiny ears

the ears of one inferior

that by next june he'd die, oh yeah!

because the tiger would roam

and the little one said oh my goodness I must stay at home

and everytime I hear a growl

I'll know the tiger's on the prowl

and I'll be really safe you know

The elephant he told me so

And everyone was nervvy, oh yeah!

and the message was spread

to zebra, mongoose, and the dirty hippopotamus

who wollowed in the mud and chewed

his spicy hippoplancton food

and tended to ignore the word

prefering to survey a herd

of stupid water bison, oh yeah!

and the jungle took fright

and ran around for all the day and the night

but all in vain because you see

the tiger came and said to me,

"You know I wouldn't hurt not one of you

I much prefer something to chew

you're all too scant, oh yeah!"

He ate the elephant...

 

One In A Million

Would you like to be one in a million?

Would you like to be one in five?

Would you like to know all the hidden meaning?

Before they tell you you've run out of time

Would you like to be one in a million?

Would you like to be one in five?

When they tell you you ain't going nowhere

When they tell you you can't live your life.
