Syd

Syd Barrett died last week. I think his Bike, is one of the best love songs that I have ever heard. Syd, you were the inspiration. May God bless your soul. Shine on Syd, shine on.


“I’ve got a bike
You can ride it if you like
It’s got a basket
A bell that rings
And things
to make it look good
I’d give it to you if I could But I borrowed it

You’re the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I’ll give you anything
Everything if you want things

I’ve got a cloak
It’s a bit of a joke
There’s a tear up the front
It’s red and black
I’ve had it for months
If you think it could look good
Then I guess it should

You’re the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I’ll give you anything
Everything if you want things

I know a mouse
And he hasn’t got a house
I don’t know why
I call him Gerald
He’s getting rather old
But he’s a good mouse

You’re the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I’ll give you anything
Everything if you want things

I’ve got a clan
of gingerbread men
Here a man
There a man
Lots of gingerbread men
Take a couple if you wish
They’re on the dish

You’re the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I’ll give you anything
Everything if you want things

I know a room
full of musical tunes
Some rhyme
Some ching
Most of them are clockwork
Let’s go into the other room
and make them work”
