ASTRONOMY DOMINE (Barrett)
Lime and limpid green,
second scene
A fight between the blue
you once knew.
Floating down, the sound echoes
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 surrounds
The icy waters under
Lime and limpid green,
The sounds surrounds
The icy waters underground.
Lime and limpid green,
a second scene,
A fight between the blue
that you once knew
Floating below the sound echoes
Around the icy underground waters
Jupiter and Saturn Oberon Miranda
And Titania.
Neptune, Titan, the stars can be scary.
Dazzling signs wave.
blinking blinking blinking
Blam pow pow
The ladder scares Dan Dare
what is there?
lime and limpid green
the sound circles
The frosts downstream
lime and limpid green
the sound circles
The icy underground waters.

Be a ship's cat.
Somewhere, anywhere.
That cat's something I can't explain.
At night prowling sifting sand.
Hiding around on the ground.
He'll be found when you're around.
That cat's something I can't explain.
Siamese cat Lucifer Sam

Somewhere nowhere.
There's something about that cat that I can't explain.
At night hanging around sifting the sand.
Filling in the ground
he will be found
When you're around.
There's something about that cat that I can't explain.
MATILDA MOTHER (Barrett)
there was a king
Who ruled the land.
his majesty
Was in command.
with silver eyes
the scarlet eagle
Showers silver on the people.
Oh Mother, tell me more.
Why'd'ya have to leave me there
Hanging in my infant air
Waiting?
You only have to read the lines
They're scribbly black and everything shines.
Across the stream with wooden shoes
With bells to tell the king the news
A thousand misty riders climb up
higher eleven
upon a time.
Wandering and dreaming
The words have different meanings.
Yes they did.
For all the time spent in that room
The doll's house, darkness,
old perfume
And fairy stories held me
high on
Clouds of sunlight floating by.
Oh Mother, tell me more
Tell me more.
aaaaaaaah
aaaaaaaah
aaaaaaaah
once upon a time there was a king
who reigned on earth
Your Majesty
I was in command
with silver eyes
the scarlet eagle
He supplied people with money
oh mother tell me more
Why did he have to leave me there
Under my childish aspect,
Expecting?
You only have to read the lines of the
Black doodle and everything shines.
Through the stream with wooden shoes
The bells tell the King the news
Thousands of misty riders
They climb to the top
for the first time in history.
wondering and dreaming
words have different meanings
Yes they did it.
time in that room
The old perfume of the dark
doll's House
And the fairy stories kept me
high up
Floating in the clouds under the sunlight
Oh mother, tell me more.
Tell me more...
aaaaaaaah
aaaaaaaah
aaaaaaaah
FLAMING (Barrett)
Alone in the clouds all blue
Lying on an eider down.
Yippee! You can't see me
But I can you.
Lazing in the foggy dew
Sitting on a unicorn.
No fair, you can't hear me
But I can you.
watching buttercups
cup the light
sleeping on
to dandelion.
Too much, I won't touch you
But then I might.
Screaming through the starlit sky
Traveling by telephone.
Hey ho, here we go
Ever so high.
Alone in the clouds all blue
Lying on an eiderdown.
Yippee! You can't see me
But I can you.
Alone in the clouds all blue
Lying on a duvet.
Chachi! You can not see me
But I do to you
Lounging under the misty dew
sitting on a unicorn
There's no fear, you can't hear me
but I do to you.
Watching as the buttercups
they pick up the light
sleeping soundly
in a dandelion
I won't touch you and I might touch you
But not you to me.
Running through starry skies
Traveling by phone.
Hey hop here we are
always so high
Alone in the clouds all blue
Lying on a duvet.
Chachi! You can not see me
But I do to you

THE GNOME (Barrett)
I want to tell you a story
About a little man
If I can.
A gnome named Grimble Crumble.
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
Friends of the grass
Fresh air at last.
Winning, dining,
biding his time.
And then one day
Hooray!
another way for
gnomes to say
Oooooooooomray!
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, finding
place to go.
And then one day
Hooray!
another way for
gnomes to say
Oooooooooomray!
Oooooooooooooomray!.
I would like to tell you a story
about a little man
If I can.
A gnome named Grimble Gromble.
Little gnomes were in their houses.
Eating, sleeping, drinking wine.
He wore a scarlet robe
A blue-green hood,
looked pretty good
had a great adventure
lying on the grass,
finally fresh air
Drinking wine, dining,
waiting for his moment.
and then one day
Hooray!
What is another way they have
the gnomes say
Wow...!
look at the sky, look at the river
Not good?
look at the sky, look at the river
Not good?
meandering, finding
places to go.
and then one day
Hooray!
What is another way they have
the gnomes say
What a boooooo...!
What a booooooooo...!!.
CHAPTER 24 (Barrett)
A movement is accomplished
in six stages
And the seventh brings return.
The seven is the number of the young light
It forms when darkness is
increased by one.
Change returns success
Going and coming without error.
Action brings good fortune.
Sunset.
The time is with the month
winter solstice
When the change is due to come.
Thunder in the
other course of heaven.
Things cannot be destroyed
once and for all.
Change returns success
Going and coming without error.
Action brings good fortune.
Sunset,
sunrise.

When it is opportune for change to come.

THE SCARECROW (Barrett)
The black and green scarecrow
As everyone knows
He stood with a bird on his hat and straw everywhere.
He didn't care.
He stood in a field where barley grows.
His head did not think
His arms didn't move
Except when the
wind cut up
Rough and mice ran around on the ground
He stood in a field where barley grows.
The black and green scarecrow
is sadder than me
But now he's resigned to his fate
'Cause life's not unkind
He doesn't mind.
He stood in a field where barley grows.
The black and green scarecrow
That everyone knows
I was standing with a bird
in his hat.
And full of straw on all sides
He didn't care...
I was in a field where barley grew
His head did not think
His arms didn't move
Except when
the wind shook him violently
And a mouse ran across the floor
I was in a field where barley grew
The black and green scarecrow is sadder than me
But now he's resigned to his fate
because life is not cruel
He does not care
I was in a field where barley grew.
BIKE (Barrett)
I've got a bike.
You can ride it if you like.
It's got a basket, a bell that rings and
Things to make it look good.
I'd give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it
You're the kind of girl
that fits in with my world.
I'll give you anything, everything
if you want things.
I've got a cloak. It's a bit of a joke.
There's a tear up the front.
It's red and black.
I've had it for months.
If you think it could look good,
then I guess it should.
You're the kind of girl
that fits in with my world.
I'll give you anything, everything
if you want things.
I know a mouse, and he hasn't got a house.
I don't know why. I call him Gerald.
He's getting rather old,
But he's a good mouse.
You're the kind of girl
that fits in with my world.
I'll give you anything, everything
if you want things.
I've got a clan
of gingerbread men.
Here's a man, there's a man,
lots of gingerbread men.
Take a couple if you wish.
They're on the plate.
You're the kind of girl
that fits in with my world.
I'll give you anything, everything
if you want things.
I know a room full
of musical tunes.
Some rhyme, some ching.
Most of them are clockwork.
Let's go into the other room
and make them work.
I have a bike.
you can go up if you want
It has a basket, a bell that rings
And things that make her look pretty
I would give it to you if I could but I borrowed it.
you're the kind of girl
that fits in my world
I would give you anything, all things,
if what you want are things.
I have a cape, it's a bit of a joke
It has a break, in front,
It is red and black.
I've had her for months
If you think it could be good,
I think so too.
you're the kind of girl
that fits in my world
I would give you anything, all things,
if what you want are things.
I know a mouse that has no home
I don't know why I call him Gerald
It's something old
But it's a good mouse.

if what you want are things.
I have a clan of men
made with gingerbread
Here a man, there another, many

Grab a couple if you want,
They are on the plate.

that fits in my world
I would give you anything, all things,
if what you want are things.
I know a room where
musical melodies are made.
A bit of poetry, some “ching”.
But most of them are mechanical
Let's go to the other room
and let's make them work.
