So long, Syd.

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Thinking...Hendrix and Holley on guitar, Morrison and Barrett on vocals, lyrics by Bon Scott, Ofra Haza on backing, Keith Moon on drums, and Doc P. in the front row.

It's getting crowded in the rock & roll section up here.
Bet they're already having a jam session with Syd.

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 a man, there a man, lots of gingerbread men.
Take a couple if you wish. They're on the dish.

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.
:notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

Goodbye Syd. :(
We forgive as we forget
As the day is long.

Barrett and The Madcap Laughs were the soundtrack of one summer for me, about 1983.

RIP

Aw, that is so so so sad. There's a place for him in the stars he loved so much, and I hope he's happy and at peace.

Farewell, you crazy diamond.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

I just found out from a friend. Despite being very much into Pink Floyd as a teenager, I'm ashamed to say I didn't ever get familiar with the Barrett era (besides Arnold Layne) or Syd's solo stuff. I feel pretty damn sad nonetheless.
