I want to tell you a story
About a little man, if I can
A gnome named Grimble Crumble
And gnomes have kind of a way to be area
Staying travel-in time
In their scarlet cloaks
Eating sleeping switching playing
In the woods for days, chasing the rays
Of the warm sun
He wore a scarlet tunic
A blue-green hood, it looked quite good
He lived by a burrow
Eating sleeping switching playing
In the woods for days, chasing the rays
Of the warm sun
Look at the sky, look at the river
Isn’t it good?
Look at the sky, look at the river
Isn’t it good?
Winding-up winding-down
Then one day, hooray!
Another way for gnomes to say
Hooray!
Eating sleeping switching playing
In the woods for days, chasing the rays
Of the warm sun

Syd Barrett

Alone in the clouds all blue
Lying on an eiderdown
Yippee! You can’t see me
But I can you
Lazing in the foggy dew
Sitting on a unicorn
Yippee! You can’t see me
But I can you
Watching chanterelles lazing on a clover cushion
Watch out! I’m a-rising through the air
Full of rhymes, full of chimes
Full of rhymes
Ice-creams on a rainy day
Ice-creams on a rainy day
Strolling on a ditty-bitty-gitty park
Watching all the buttercups
Yippee! You can’t see me
But I can you

Syd Barrett

There was a king who ruled the land
His Majesty was in command
With silver pistols by his side
A-flashing cameos of jade
Of turquoise, silver, misery
Oh, mother, tell me more
Why’d’ya have to leave me there
Hanging on your every word
In that room of chords and stars?
You find yourself a little man
Who houses houses speaks to plan
Of palaces and plastic toys
And things that second-hand cars boy
Or strictly speaking, he’s a person
Oh, mother, tell me more
Why’d’ya have to leave me there
Hanging on your every word
In that room of chords and stars?
For all the time spent in that room
The doll’s house darkness, old perfume
And fairy stories held me fast
To human clocks that calendar
All our lives, oh, oh
Oh, mother, tell me more
Why’d’ya have to leave me there
Hanging on your every word
In that room of chords and stars?

Syd Barrett
