Syd Barrett - Crazy Diamond

Crazy Diamond    26th April 1993

"Birdie Hop" (Two-Track Demo)    (Barrett)

Birdie hop - he do
He hop along
A lonely bird
Upon a window there
He, he, there he blow
A windy snow
He know the snow
I know the snow
A hoppy bird.

The antelope ride around a parasol
Just to see if he's a man enough
To meet you in the sandpit
On a flying kind of sign
In a meddlesome bay
You know the way
I see the flies.

She's a little kite the sort
You think you might like to fire
And like a kite
You get to see her every night
You know the way
She's only paving her way
Ecktochrome plane
I see the flies.

Birdie hop - he do
He hop along
A lonely bird
Upon a window there
He, he, there he blow
The windy snow
He know the snow
A hoppy bird.

A camel woke up
To a Polish dawn
Wouldn't look to see
His feet had gone
He wouldn't like it
Wouldn't have the strength
To fight it
I see the flies.

I'm the only bird
A little bird
I lost a quarter
Had a yearning to be earning
Just a dollar a day
And in a way you shouldn't like it
Ecktochrome plane
I see the flies.
This box set was a repackaging of The Madcap Laughs, Barrett, and Opel with various bonus tracks included at the end of each disc.  All these bonus tracks were just different takes on previously released material.  Nothing really new, but some songs had slightly different lyrics.
