Syd Barrett (1946-2006) R.I.P.

Roger Keith "Syd" Barrett
fundador dos Pink Floyd e líder da banda na fase inicial (1966-1969). Maluco, génio, fugaz, drogado, visionário, solitário, escolheu ficar fechado numa casa durante os 30 anos em que Roger Waters e David Gilmour lutaram ridiculamente pela liderança do grupo. "Wish You Were Here", cantavam estes dois para ele, ou "Shine On You Crazy Diamond". Mais um que já foi, e os restantes Floyd já ponderam agora uma reunião... Estão a perceber que o tempo deles também já não demora...
R.I.P.

Oh where are you now
pussy willow that smiled on this leaf?
When I was alone you promised the stone from your heart
my head kissed the ground
I was half the way down, treading the sand
please, please, lift a hand
I'm only a person whose armbands beat
on his hands, hang tall
won't you miss me?
Wouldn't you miss me at all?

The poppy birds way
swing twigs coffee brands around
brandish her wand with a feathery tongue
my head kissed the ground
I was half the way down, treading the sand
please, please, please lift the hand
I'm only a person with eskimo chain
I tattooed my brain all the way...
Won't you miss me?
Wouldn't you miss me at all
