(Barrett)
Alone in the clouds all blue
Lying on an eiderdown.
yuppie!
You can't see me, but I can you
Lazing in the foggy dew
Sitting on an Unicorn.
No fear!
You can't hear me, but I can you
Watching buttercups come to light
Sitting on a dandelion.
Too much!
I won't touch you, but then I might
Swimming through the starlit sky
Travelling by telephone.
Hey-ho!
Here we go ever so high
Alone in the clouds all blue
Lying on an eiderdown - yuppie!
You can't see me, but I can you.
The Gnome.
(Barrett)
I want to tell you a story
'bout a little man, if I can
A gnome named Grimble Grumble
And little gnomes stay in their homes
eating, sleeping, drinking their wine.
He wore a scarlet tunic
A blue green hood, it looked quite good
He had a big adventure
amidst the grass, fresh air at last
Wining, ding, biding his time.
And then one day - hooray
another way for gnomes to say "Hooooray!"
Look at the sky; look at the river
isn't it good?
Winding, finding places to go
And the one day - hooray
another way for gnomes to say "Hooooray!"
ResponderEliminar"Flaming" is a song by the English rock band Pink Floyd, featured on their 1967 debut album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. Written and sung by Syd Barrett, the song remained in their set until late 1968; David Gilmour sang the lead vocal after Barrett's departure.
"Flaming" was also the third US Pink Floyd single (Tower 378) and was released by Tower Records, but it did not chart. The mono US single mix of "Flaming" is slightly edited from other stereo or mono versions of the recording.
This US single was released in place of the UK single, "Apples and Oranges" (backed with "Paint Box"), which had then just failed to break into the UK charts.
It was the first of two US Pink Floyd singles released on Tower that were not released on a single in the UK. The other US single that was not released in the UK was "Let There Be More Light" b/w "Remember a Day" (Tower 440).
