Barrett, Syd - I Never Lied To You Lyrics






There will be shoulders pressing in the hall
and I won't know if you're here at all
there will be wine and drinking in the yard
There won't be anybody very hard
There will be lots of things that we can do

And all and more will be for you
Everything I knew I tried with you
But everything to you was never easy
So I went ahead around my world
I saw the things you do arriving by your side
To see you looking too
But I know this, I know, I never lied to you

It's been just like you're gone
For just one day for so long
It's been so hard to bear with you not there
But though I think of you, the things you do
When I'm with you

To be with you, to be alone...can only think
"Why I am here? What's meant to be?"

    Syd's voice is so sad and gentle. RIP brother

    C.... L....

    So British and deep!

    How the hell did this guy not make any money from his music, he didn't even have enough to retire. Why didn't his band look after him financially when his life went downhill? Ofcourse, i don't know the full story of how it all went down but it still puzzles me how the founding member of one of the greatest bands in history died a poor man.

    V.... P....

    Happy to help!! There are several really good books on the subject: Crazy Diamond, Lost in the Woods, A Very Irregular Head, Dark Globe. those are my favorites, though there are others. I have been reading and researching Syd for years, he is one of my favorite people. Always happy to answer any Syd questions, in an attempt to clear up any obfuscation and expel myth. When talking about Syd, the truth is always stranger then the fiction could hope to ever be.

    V.... P....

    Frodo Lives I'm drawn to Syd. Can't tell you exactly why. He's fragile, intelligent, unique, sensitive, avant garde, etc. etc. He's intriguing. I have A Very Irregular Head but have not read it yet. Thanks for posting the above information on his journey post Floyd. It was thoughtful. You must have great respect for him.

    V.... P....

    wrong they made millions by calling him insane and they shared none of that with him. truly cruel.. and david gilmour had nothing to do with thr first album

    V.... P....

    Cee Jay - I love the riddle of Sid Barrett, he, along with Jimi Hendrix, is my favorite musician... His spirit has been following me since 1999, when I first heard about him and heard his music on a single radio station, now long-closed... Sid Barrett has been watered (and watered until now) with mud all the time, spit on him in dozens of different ways, and also praise him immensely for his musical talents - and are terrified by his strange musical career and reclusive... It was very paradoxical person, amazing in many ways and a lot of tragic things... I love his music, I don’t get tired to admire her, I love his voice... It’s a pity that he released so few albums - his voice and musical style are definitely lacking in the music of the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s of years.

  8. S.... K....

    He sort of sounds like Young Leonard Cohen I'm starting to kind of like him. Is voice is very different and quite nice actually.

  9. r.... h....

    Who would think to put words together like that, crazy diamond. Love it!

    r.... h....

    my mate pointed out to me that this song describes heaven

    r.... h....

    @9Years AGooner You mean like Stoned Soul Picnic without the sassafras and moonshine and trains of golden dust?

  10. B.... N....

    well in a way it's kind of like he did stay with them since dave and waters helped him out with madcap laughs and dave and wright did the barrett album... so you can kind of hear some pink Floyd sound in his two solo efforts

  11. B.... N....

    I prefer those albums over Ummagumma and AHM, to be honest

  12. V.... ....

    I love this sooooooooooooooooooooooooooong so muccccccchhhhhhhh

  13. B.... N....

    but then we wouldn't have the madcap laughs or barrett =/

  14. S.... ....

    I dug Vegetable man and Scream they last scream. Waters should have at least gave Syd one more strike and maybe picked him up that day to the gig?If the singles sold who knows what could of happened? RIP Syd!

    S.... ....

    Sundown798 thinking of them not picking him up,always breaks my heart😖😖

  15. S.... B....

    Yeah, Piper and Saucerful are loads better than Ummagumma and AHM, and in no small part thanks to Syd.

  16. J.... V....

    cute song

  17. C.... ....

    yeah, i agree.....with the lyrics, remove the quotation marks & the question marks on the very last line.

  18. P.... ....

    @MusicsWhore -- I have no idea how you can use the word "shit" in referrence to Dark Side of the Moon.

  19. S.... P....

    i love syd

  20. S.... P....

    i 3 syd

  21. G.... ....

    Nice...

  22. E.... M....

    Lovely man. Lovely song.

  23. h.... ....

    they should have kept him for the making of the wall album

  24. S.... V....

    my favortie soooooooog of syd

  25. V.... ....

    No evidence to prove this man was either an 'acid casualty', schizophrenic or suffered a breakdown - it seems he began to perceive and respond to his art and environment in a new way sensorily that is often misunderstood - the results were brilliance in my humble opinion.

  26. M.... ....

    @DaveS12382 True I just think for both sides it was good they went their seperate ways allowed both to experiment with music

  27. M.... ....

    @DaveS12382 Ummagumma and Atom Heart Mother were amazing records and if Syd was there the band would have never lasted till 1970 every True Floyd fan knows that Ummagamma was music without borders really avantgarde and Atom Heart Mother to me makes Dark Side of the moon look like shit

  28. G.... ....

    Good song. I like it. Wish you were here.

  29. a.... g....

    ill ask my self if he had un pisellino stuck in his back...when he sing that

  30. m.... ....

    i wonder if syd ever heard the backstreet boys. i wonder what kind of face he made. I wonder what shape his eyes made

  31. S.... R....

    this song completely reminds me of the great gatsby, i love it

  32. D.... ....

    I think the quotation marks and the question marks need to be removed in the final line of the lyrics. "can only think why I am here; what's meant to be" is perfectly logical. "Why I am here?" is gramatically incorrect.

  33. T.... C....

    @DaveS12382 Well Space is Pretty Big. I'm not going to lie.

  34. T.... C....

    @DaveS12382 well he was ruining it all he did'nt right that well of music and was always a no show at concerts and when he did he didn't sing.

  35. I.... V....

    You can really hear how sick he is at the end. It's very sad. When I first heard the last vocal note in the song I said "oh god Syd!"

  36. L.... ....

    This song is so beautiful........the piano really makes the song and this can't finish what i'm saying it's great!
