Album lyrics

Disc 1.

Astronomy Domine.

(Barrett)

Lime and limpid green, a second scene 

A fight between the blue you once knew. 

Floating down, the sound resounds 

Around the icy waters underground. 

Jupiter and Saturn, Oberon, Miranda and Titania. 

Neptune, Titan, Stars can frighten. 

Blinding signs flap, 

Flicker, flicker, flicker blam. Pow, pow. 

Stairway scare Dan dare who's there? 

Lime and limpid green, the sounds surronds 

The icy waters under 

Lime and limpid green, the sounds surronds 

The icy waters underground.

Grabación: Abril 27, 1969.

Careful With That Axe, Eugene.

Instrumental

Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun.

(Waters)

Little by little the night turns around. 

Counting the leaves which tremble and turn. 

Lotus's lean on each other in union. 

Over the hills where a swallow is resting. 

Set the controls for the heart of the sun. 

Over the mountain watching the watcher. 

Breaking the darkness waking the grapevine. 

Morning to birth is born into shadow 

Love is the shadow that ripens the wine. 

Set the controls for the heart of the sun. 

The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun. 

Who is the man who arrives at the wall? 

Making the shape of his questions at asking. 

Thinking the sun will fall in the evening. 

Will he remember the lesson of giving? 

Set the controls for the heart of the sun. 

The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun.

Grabación: Mayo 2, 1969.

Grantchester Meadows.

(Waters)

"Icy wind of night be gone this is not your domain" 

In the sky a bird was heard to cry. 

Misty morning whisperings and gentle stirring sounds 

Belie the deathly silence that lay all around. 

Hear the lark harken to the barking of the dark fox 

Gone to ground. 

See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water. 

And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees 

Laughing as it passes through the endless summer 

Making for the sea. 

In the lazy water meadow I lay me down. 

All around me golden sun flakes settle on the ground. 

Basking in the sunshine of a bygone afternoon 

Bringing sounds of yesterday into this city room. 

Hear the lark harken to the barking of the dark fox 

Gone to ground. 

See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water. 

And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees. 

In the lazy water meadow I lay me down. 

All around me golden sun flakes covering the ground. 

Basking in the sunshine of a bygone afternoon 

Bringing sounds of yesterday into this city room. 

Hear the lark harken to the barking of the dark fox 

Gone to ground. 

See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water. 

And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees.

Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving With a Pict.

(Waters)

Aye an' a bit of Mackeral settler rack and ruin 

ran it doon by the haim, 'ma place 

well I slapped me and I slapped it doon in the side 

and I cried, cried, cried. 

The fear a fallen down taken never back the raize and then Craig Marion, 

get out wi' ye Claymore out mi pocket a' ran doon, doon the middin stain 

picking the fiery horde that was fallen around ma feet. 

Never he cried, never shall it ye get me alive 

ye rotten hound of the burnie crew. Well I snatched fer the blade O my 

Claymore cut and thrust and I fell doon before him round his feet. 

Aye! A roar he cried frae the bottom of his heart that I would nay fall 

but as dead, dead as 'a can be by his feet; de ya ken? 

...and the wind cried back. 

Thank you.

The Narrow Way Part 3.

(Gilmour)

Following the path as it leads toward 

The darkness in the north 

Weary stranger's faces show their sympathy 

They've seen that hope before.

And if you want to stay for a little bit 

Rest your aching limbs for a little bit 

For you the night is beckoning 

And now you can't delay 

You hear the night birds calling you 

But you can't catch the words they say 

And you must you realize be on your way.

Mystery swelling, creatures crawling 

Hear the roar ger louder in your ears 

You know the folly was your own 

But the force behind can't conquer all you fears.

And if you want to stay for a little bit 

Rest your aching limbs for a little bit 

For you the night is beckoning and you know 

And now you can't delay 

You hear the night birds calling you 

But you can't catch the words they say 

And you must you realize be on your way.

Throw your thoughts back many years 

To the time when love was life with every morning 

Perhaps a day will come when the match for me the curlers past warning.

And if you want to stay for a little bit 

Rest your aching limbs for a little bit 

For you the night is beckoning 

And now you can't delay 

You hear the night birds calling you 

But you can't catch the words they say 

And you must you realize be on your way.
