Syd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Breathing in your smell on me I'm addicted you know to vanilla these days,
Butterfly Kisses and the promise you'll spend all night this time,
I just want to say thankyou for taking a chance on a feeling inside so,
Here's A Love song For all the times you felt second place,
And here's A Love song for all the smiles that come when I see your face,
Here's A love Song
I walk into the winter night the city lights take the place of the stars in your eyes,
I lost the moon again..
But i'll stopped looking I guess when love caught me by surprise
You're gonna be hard to get over,
So I won't I don't think for a very long time
And In the summer Ill warm your bed if you promise you'll warm mine
And here's A love song for all the times i fell into your eyes
And here's a love song for all the things you taught me lastnight
Here's A Love Song
Here's A Love song for all the things that you never said
And here's a love song for the night you left your braclet at the end of my bed
here's A Love Song....

aikodude lol, “kinda”?!
... make that INSTANTLY INFECTIOUS! :D
I remember when I first heard this in early 1990 and the second it started chugging I TOTALLY FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS SONG! :D
One of THE best, most lighthearted melodies I’ve ever heard!
And everyone I play this for always falls instantly in love with it as well. :)
Syd was so amazing...
@ffwlpe
This is a story about 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 everything's wrong and my patience is gone
When I woke one morning and remembered this song
Kinda catchy
I hope that she will 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 awhile of seeing her smile
I knew we could make it and 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
'Cause 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 and what she said
@liljanak.4235
And what we learnt from this story is when you dump Syd Barrett, he will get over you and get your sister instead.
@dbo514
Ck T No it’s not. This song was written in 1965, in happier times. Doesn’t have anything do to with his alienation from the band and the music business, unlike his last song on the second album
@graceantonio3573
😁aha😄ha😊ha! I'll take Syd, it must be a blast to have talked to him at least....sigh...😢
@martlinnas
Actually theres a couple more songs about this topic. Like "little Sister"
@thinginground5179
lol what a legend
@TheBoldImperator
@@dbo514 People say that a lot about the
majority of Barrett's solo output but the evidence is lacking. Seems more likely that some of these songs began as half formed ideas in the old days. For "Here I Go" in particular, Malcolm Jones has written that Mr. Barrett had written the song in a few minutes in April 1969. Maybe it was a preexisting tune. But I'd like to see evidence. None of these tracks ever showed up as Floyd material in 1965-67, with the exception of Opel/She Was A Millionaire. No written sheets date from the 1965 period regarding these songs, though I can accept at face that songs like Bob Dylan Blues probably really were 1965-vintage. But I'd like to see more solid evidence for this claim over simply taking it as truism, as has been so often the case regarding this particular songwriter in question. Much of Barrett's life and songwriting abilities has been endlessly mythologicalized and it makes it difficult to separate fact from fiction.
@SplinterAce
Probably the most authentic song I've heard. This guy said exactly what he was feeling and thinking.
@RTEHeydrich
I think Lennon lifted SOOOO much of Syd’s vibe concepts and style in the White Album… no one ever called him on it…
@martinethangrace2066
I listened to this song about 60 times in a row today and it just makes me feel so happy inside. RIP Syd Barrett 1946-2006
@mywordsmyhandle
Anyway The Madcap Laughs is a great great album, should be celebrated more
