Nick Drake Pink Moon I saw it written and I saw it say Pink moon is on it's way And none

e of you stand so tall Pink moon gonna get you all It's a pink moon Hey, it's a pink moon It's a pink, pink, pink, pink, pink moon. It's a pink, pink, pink, pink, pink moon. I saw it written and I saw it say Pink moon is on it's way And none of you stand so tall Pink moon gonna get you all It's a pink moon Yeah, it's a pink moon Nick Drake - Place To Be When I was younger, younger than before I never saw the truth hanging from the door And now I'm older see it face to face And now I'm older gotta get up clean the place. And I was green, greener than the hill Where the flowers grew and the sun shone still Now I'm darker than the deepest sea Just hand me down, give me a place to be. And I was strong, strong in the sun I thought I'd see when day is done Now I'm weaker than the palest blue Oh, so weak in this need for you. Road Nick Drake You can say the sun is shining if you really want to I can see the moon and it seems so clear You can take the road that takes you to the stars now I can take a road that'll see me through I can take a road that'll see me through.

You can take a road that takes you to the stars now I can take a road that'll see me through I can take a road that'll see me through I can take a road that'll see me through. Which Will Nick Drake Which will you go for Which will you love Which will you choose from From the stars above Which will you answer Which will you call Which will you take for For your one and all And tell me now Which will you love the best. Which do you dance for Which makes you shine Which will you choose now If you won't choose mine Which will you hope for Which can it be Which will you take now If you won't take me And tell me now Which will you love the best. Nick Drake - Things Behind The Sun Please beware of them that stare They'll only smile to see you while Your time away And once you've seen what they have been To win the earth just won't seem worth Your night or your day Who'll hear what I say. Look around you find the ground Is not so far from where you are But not too wise For down below they never grow They're always tired and charms are hired From out of their eyes Never surprise. Take your time and you'll be fine And say a prayer for people there Who live on the floor And if you see what's meant to be Don't name the day or try to say It happened before.

Don't be shy you learn to fly And see the sun when day is done If only you see Just what you are beneath a star That came to stay one rainy day In autumn for free Yes, be what you'll be. Please beware of them that stare They'll only smile to see you while Your time away And once you've seen what they have been To win the earth just won't seem worth Your night or your day Who'll hear what I say. Open up the broken cup Let goodly sin and sunshine in Yes that's today. And open wide the hymns you hide You find reknown while people frown At things that you say But say what you'll say About the farmers and the fun And the things behind the sun And the people round your head Who say everything's been said And the movement in your brain Sends you out into the rain. Nick Drake Know Know that I love you Know I don't care Know that I see you Know I'm not there Nick Drake - Parasite Lifting the mask from from a local clown Feeling down like him Seeing the light in a station bar And travelling far in sin Sailing downstairs to the northern line Watching the shine of the shoes And hearing the trial of the people there Who's to care if they lose. And take a look you may see me on the ground For I am the parasite of this town. Dancing a jig in a church with chimes

A sign of the times today And hearing no bell from a steeple tall People all in dismay Falling so far on a silver spoon Making the moon for fun And changing a rope for a size too small People all get hung. Take a look and see me coming through For I am the parasite who travels two by two. When lifting the mask from a local clown And feeling down like him And I'm seeing the light in a station bar And travelling far in sin And I'm sailing downstair to the northern line Watching the shine of the shoes And hearing the trials of the people there Who's to care if they lose. And take a look you may see me on the ground For I am the parasite of this town. And take a look you may see me in the dirt For I am the parasite who hangs from your skirt. Free Ride Nick Drake I know you I care too I see through All of the pictures that you keep on the wall All of the people that will come to the ball But hear me calling Won't you give me A free ride. I know too What you do When you're through Counting the cattle as they go by the door Keeping a carpet that's so thick on the floor But hear me calling Won't you give me A free ride. I know you

I care too I see through All of the pictures that you keep on the wall All of the people that will come to the ball But hear me calling Won't you give me A free ride. Harvest Breed Nick Drake Falling fast and falling free you look to find a friend Falling fast and falling free this could just be the end Falling fast you stoop to touch and kiss the flowers that bend And you're ready now For the harvest breed The Morning - Nick Drake A day once dawned, and it was beautiful A day once dawned from the ground Then the night she fell And the air was beautiful The night she fell all around. So look see the days The endless coloured ways And go play the game that you learnt From the morning. And now we rise And we are everywhere And now we rise from the ground And see she flies And she is everywhere See she flies all around So look see the sights The endless summer nights And go play the game that you learnt From the morning Syd Barret 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

Syd Barret - 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 and you know you should be home in bed. It's no good holding your sequined 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...

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. [Very garbled here....you can make out "Tell me, Tell me, Tell me Yippee" and "Heavily Spaced"] Syd Barret - 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?

Syd Barret - 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, ev'rythings 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... Syd Barret - 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 cackling at every plate we break Cracked by scattered needles The little minute gong Coughs and clears his throat Madam you see before you stand Hey ho, never be still The old original favorite grand Grasshoppers green Herbarian band

And the tune they play is "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 Meant 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 "Cheat" he cried shouting kangaroo It's true in 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 They'll never put me in their bag The seas will reach and always seep So high you go, so low you creep The wind it blows in tropical heat The drones they throng on mossy seats The squeaking door will always squeak Two up, two down we'll never meet So merrily trip forgo my side Please leave us here Close our eyes to the octopus ride! Syd Barret - Golden Hair (Joyce) Lean out your window, golden hair I heard you singing in the midnight 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...

Syd Barret - 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. Syd Barret - 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... Syd Barret Feel You feel me Away far too empty, oh so alone! I want to go home Oh find me inside of a nocturne 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... Syd Barret - If It's In You Yes I'm thinking of this, yes I am Puddle town, Tom was the underground Hold you tighter so close, yes you are Please hold on to the steel rail Colonel with gloves 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

Chugging along with a funnel of steam All the fives crock Henrietta She's mean go-getter Gotta write her a letter... Syd Barret - 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...
