ARNOLD LAYNE
Pink Floyd 1967
Lyrics/music: Barrett
Original vocals by: Barrett
Arnold Layne had a strange hobby - collecting clothes
Moonshine, washing line
They suit him fine
On the wall hung a tall mirror
Distorted view
See thru' baby blue
He dug it - oh Arnold Layne
It's not the same
Takes two to know
Two to know
Why can't you see
Arnold Layne
Now he's caught
A nasty sort of person
They gave him time
Doors clang, chain gang
He hates it - Oh Arnold Layne
It's not the same
Takes two to know
Two to know
Why can't you see
Arnold Layne
Don't do it again
CANDY AND A CURRANT BUN

The original title of the song was 'Let's Roll Another One', but Pink
Floyd was forced to change the title and some of the most 'explicit' lyrics
before the song could be 'politically correct' single material. The song
can be traced back to 1966 and the song Stoned
Alone.
Oh my girl sitting in the sky
Go buy candy and encouragement
I like to see you cry
Lay back
Oooh, don't talk to me
Please, just fuck with me
Please you know I'm feeling frail
Talk, talk, talk to me
Please just walk with me
Please no feeling frail
It's true sun's shining very bright
It's you I'm gonna love tonight
Ice cream tastes good in the afternoon
Ice cream tastes good if you eat it soon
Ooh, don't touch me child
Please - no !
You drive me wild
Please you know I'm feeling frail
Don't try another cat
Don't go where other you must know why
Ver very very frail
Oh my girl sitting in the sun
Go buy candy and a currant bun
I like to see you run
Like that...
Oh my girl fading in the sun
Go buy a candy and a currant bun
I'm high! Don't try to spoil the fun
Go cry or I'll have another one
Ooh don't touch me child
Please, you know you drive me wild
Please, you know I'm feeling frail
Ooh don't talk to me
Please, just walk with me
Please, you know I'm feeling frail
It's true sun's shining very bright
It's you I'm gonna love tonight
Ice cream tastes good if you eat it right
Ice cream tastes good if you treat it right
Ooh don't talk to me
Please, you know you drive me wild
Please, you know I'm feeling frail
Oh my girl fading in the sun
Go buy a candy and a currant bun
I'm high don't try to spoil the fun
Go cry or I'll have another one
