Syd Barrett - Crazy Diamond

Crazy Diamond    26th April 1993

"It's No Good Trying" (Take 5)     (Barrett)

It's no good trying to place your hand
Where I can't see because I understand
That you're different from me.

“Okay, I'll do it again”.
“Yeah, that's possible”.
“No”.
“It's nice janglely”.
“Can we keep it there?”

It's no good trying to place your hand
Where I can't see because I understand
That you're different from me.

“Again.  I'll do it again then”.

“Yeah”.

It's no good trying to place your hand
Where I can't see because I understand
That you're different from me
Yes I can tell
That you can't be what you pretend
And you're rocking backwards
And you're rocking towards the
Red and yellow mane of a stallion horse.

It's no good trying to hold your love
Where I can't see because I understand
That you're different from me
Yes I can tell
That you can't be what you pretend
The caterpillar hood won't cover the head of you
Know you should be home in bed.

It's no good holding a sequin fan
Where I can't see because I understand
That you're different from me
Yes I can tell
That you can't be what you pretend
Yes you're spinning around and around in a car
With electric lights flashing very fast.

It's no good holding a sequin fan
Where I can't see because I understand
That you're different from me
Yes I can tell
That you can't be what you pretend
Yes you're spinning around and around in a car
With electric lights flashing very fast.
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.
