ASTRONOMY DOMINEWritten by Syd BarrettPublished by © Westminster Music Limited 1967

Lime and limpid green, a second sceneA fight between the blue you once knewFloating down, the sound resoundsAround the icy waters undergroundJupiter and Saturn Oberon MirandaAnd Titania Neptune TitanStars can frighten…

Blinding signs flap flicker flicker flickerBlam Pow powStairway scare Dan Dare who’s there…

Lime and limpid greenThe sounds surrounds the icy waters undergroundLime and limpid greenThe sounds surrounds the icy watersUnderground

LUCIFER SAMWritten by Syd BarrettPublished by © Westminster Music Limited 1967

Lucifer Sam Siam catAlways sitting by your sideAlways by your sideThat cat’s something I can’t explainJennifer Gentle you’re a witchYou’re the left sideHe’s the right side oh noThat cat’s something I can’t explain

Lucifer go to seaBe a hip catBe a ship’s catSomewhere anywhereThat cat’s something I can’t explain

At night prowling sifting sandHiding around on the groundHe’ll be foundWhen you’re aroundThat cat’s something I can’t explain

MATILDA MOTHERWritten by Syd BarrettPublished by © Westminster Music Limited 1967

There was a king who ruled the landHis majesty was in commandWith silver eyes the scarlet eagleShowered silver on the peopleOh Mother tell me more

Why’d’you have to leave me thereHanging in my infant air , waitingYou only have to read the lines ofScribbly black and everything shines

Across the stream with wooden shoesBells to tell the king the newsA thousand misty ridersClimb up higher once upon a time

Wondering and dreamingThe words have different meaningsYes they did…

For all the time spent in that roomThe doll’s house darkness old perfumeAnd fairy stories held me highOn clouds of sunlight floating byOh Mother tell me moreTell me more…

FLAMINGWritten by Syd BarrettPublished by © Westminster Music Limited 1967

Alone in the clouds all blueLying on an eiderdown, yippeeYou can’t see me but I can you

Lazing in the foggy dewSitting on a unicorn no fearYou can’t hear me but I can you

Watching buttercups cup the lightSleeping on a dandelion too muchI won’t touch you but then I might

Screaming through the starlit skiesTraveling by telephoneHey ho here we goEver so high

Alone in the clouds all blueLying on an eiderdown, yippeeYou can’t see me but I can you

THE GNOMEWritten by Syd BarrettPublished by © Westminster Music Limited 1967

I want to tell you a story’Bout a little man if I canA gnome named Grimble GrombleAnd little gnomes stay in their homesEating, sleeping, drinking their wine

He wore a scarlet tunicA blue-green hood, it looked quite goodHe had a big adventureAmidst the grass, fresh air at lastWining dining biding his time

And then one dayHooray, another way for gnomes to sayOoh my…

Look at the sky, look at the riverIsn’t it good?Look at the sky, look at the riverIsn’t it good?

Winding, finding places to go

And then one dayHooray, another way for gnomes to sayOoh my ooh my…

CHAPTER 24Written by Syd BarrettPublished by © Westminster Music Limited 1967

All movement is accomplished in six stagesAnd the seventh brings returnThe seven is the number of the young lightIt forms when darkness is increased by one

Change return successGoing and coming without errorAction brings good fortuneSunset

The time is with the month of winter solsticeWhen the change is due to comeThunder in the Earth, the course of heavenThings cannot be destroyed once and for all

Change returns successGoing and coming without errorAction brings good fortuneSunsetSunrise

A movement is accomplished in six stagesAnd the seventh brings returnThe seven is the number of the young lightIt forms when darkness is increased by oneSunsetSunrise

THE SCARECROWWritten by Syd BarrettPublished by © Westminster Music Limited 1967

The black and green scarecrow as ev’ryone knowsStood with a bird on his hat and straw everywhereHe didn’t care…He stood in a field where barley growsHis head did no thinking his arms didn’t moveExcept when the wind cut up roughAnd mice ran around on the groundHe stood in a field where barley growsThe black and green scarecrow is sadder than meBut now he’s resigned to his fate‘Cause life’s not unkindHe doesn’t mindHe stood in a field where barley grows

BIKEWritten by Syd BarrettPublished by © Westminster Music Limited 1967

I’ve got a bike, you can ride it if you likeIt’s got a basket, a bell that ringsAnd things to make it look goodI’d give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it

You’re the kind of girl that fits in with my worldI’ll give you anything, everything if you want things

I’ve got a cloak it’s a bit of a jokeThere’s a tear up the front it’s red and blackI’ve had it for monthsIf you think it could look good then I guess it should

You’re the kind of girl that fits in with my worldI’ll give you anything, everything if you want things

I know a mouse and he hasn’t got a houseI don’t know why I call him GeraldHe’s getting rather old but he’s a good mouse

You’re the kind of girl that fits in with my worldI’ll give you anything, everything if you want things

I’ve got a clan of gingerbread menHere a man, there a man, lots of gingerbread menTake a couple if you wish, they’re on the dish

You’re the kind of girl that fits in with my worldI’ll give you anything, everything if you want things

I know a room of musical tunesSome rhyme, some ching, most of them are clockworkLet’s go into the other room and make them work
