Syd Barrett - Terrapin Lyrics






I really love you and I mean you
The star above you, crystal blue
Well, oh, baby, my hair's on end about you...
I wouldn't see you and I love to
I fly above you, yes, I do
Well, oh baby, my hair's on end about you...

Floating, bumping, noses dodge a tooth
The fins are luminous
Fangs all 'round the clown
Is dark below the boulders hiding all
The sunlight's good for us
'Cause we're the fishes and all we do
The move about is all we do
Well, oh, baby, my hair's on end about you...

Floating, bumping, noses dodge a tooth
The fins are luminous
Fangs all 'round the clown
Is dark below the boulders hiding all
The sunlight's good for us
'Cause we're the fishes and all we do
The move about is all we do
Well, oh, baby, my hairs on end about you...

I really love you and I mean you
The star above you, crystal blue
Well, oh, baby, my hair's on end about you...

  4. k.... w....

    This man is the reason I picked up a guitar! Thank you, Roger ❤

    B.... A....

  6. B.... B....

    syd is sincere,,the most sincere there is, next to robyn hitchcock

  7. K.... ....

    Parts of this song remind me of Beck's Static. Specifically, 2:01.

  8. C.... D....

    Fucking Syd Barrett!...this dude is the shizzit!

  9. S.... E....

    TOP BIGBANG

  10. G.... A....

  11. G.... A....

    Syd wasn't afraid to stay as his own complex person in the midst of norm & regularity. A beautiful & awesome legendary talent that can't be "bagged" 😊

  12. C.... D....

    Fucking brilliant...this guy was absolutely phenomenal...

  13. g.... f....

    Rest in peace Roger Barrett

  14. D.... B....

  15. H.... S....

    who plays the guitar? thank you.

    H.... S....

    Syd barrett plays the guitar

  16. G.... H....

    Syd Barrett war doch schon nach zwei Nummern die Luft ausgegangen. Er hätte der rasanten Entwicklung von Pink Floyd niemals standgehalten.

  17. R.... D....

    this guy died on my birthday

  18. F.... M....

    E alguns se esquecem dele!

  19. S.... B....

  25. C.... D....

    Hauntingly beautiful

  26. B.... ....

    Kinda sounds like the Eterna City theme from Pokémon diamond and pearl of all things must be the folk elements

  27. H.... 2....

    U must not like syd.... Love.

  28. S.... S....

    king 👏 legend🙏

  29. A.... ....

    Why can';t people just appreciate his brilliant songs without all of the drug talk and other nonsense? "One of the three or four greats, along with Dylan and the Beatles". David Gimour

  30. A.... ....

    "The Move About" is all we do...Syd's sense of humour was brilliant.

  31. P.... P....

    https://youtu.be/IBPZrSvkBvc listen to my band please :))) dudes n dudets

  32. L.... G....

    Syd Barret deserved a lot more credit. Despite being a chemical casualty of the 1960's he made Pink Floyd what they morphed into in later years. If it were not for him these musicians would have taken a totally different direction in life. Probably very Good music, but probably much different.

  33. M.... D....

    The best bad trip in the World.

  34. T.... T....

    What a brilliant man!!!

  35. P.... M....

    Without Syd,my life is empty!

  36. T.... t....

    I imagine syd playing with tame impala now

  37. A.... S....

    Rest in paradise Syd Barrett.

  38. P.... M....

    👽👽👽👽

  39. A.... W....

    The feeling I get when listening to this is similar to opiate painkillers.

  40. R.... M....

    Lovely Syd.

  41. M.... M....

    There are so many so called stars out there churning out the same old drivel year in year out.Syd on the other hand was one of a kind.The real deal.Shine on. wherèver

  42. f.... ....

    This is a great song to chill out to on the bed in a trance after taking a big puff on a skunk spliff
    XD

  43. E.... K....

    "...okay." Love that part.

  44. D.... ....

    I love you Syd 💗 This song never fails to make me feel happy.

  45. T.... L....

    My hairs on end about Syd!

  46. T.... G....

    My dad used to play and sing this to me when i was a kid and if you think about it has a trippy lullaby feel to it back then i didnt have a clue who syd barrett was. The other day i talked dad into playing this for me on his guitar he is 73 years old and has a hard time remembering where his car keys are but he still knows this song by heart amazing

    T.... G....

    i think that it's beautiful people like your father that make this world a better place

    T.... G....

    music sticks with you when all else fades away. I can still play the very first song i learned on guitar. It was "talking candy bar blues" by Paul Stookey, from Peter Paul and Mary. Now where the hell did I put my keys?

  47. J.... D....

    Being weird is not weird. Not being weird is weird. Not as not being weird, being weird is as being weirdly... Weird.

    J.... D....

    The multiple definitions for "weird" you hold have got you making extraordinary contradictions. There's good weird and bad weird. Just as there is good ordinary and bad ordinary.

  48. a.... w....

    Syd is my man bro if i could meet one rock star that is dead i pick syd man

  49. C.... D....

    One of the best songs ever written

  50. t.... n....

    beauteous..

  51. S.... R....

    I really love you and I mean you
    The star above you, crystal blue
    Well, oh baby, my hairs on end about you
    I wouldn't see you and I love to
    I fly above you, yes I do
    Well, oh baby, my hairs on end about you
    Floating, bumping, noses dodge a tooth
    The fins a luminous
    Fangs all 'round the clown
    Is dark below the boulders hiding all
    The sunlight's good for us
    'Cause we're the fishes and all we do
    The move about is all we do
    Well, oh baby, my hairs on end about you

  52. G.... 0....

    I really love you and I mean you

    I wouldn't see you and I love to
    I fly above you, yes I do
    Well, oh baby, my hair's on end about you

    Floating, bumping, noses dodge a tooth, the fins aluminous
    Fangs all 'round, the clown is dark, below the boulders hiding all
    The sunlight's good for us
    'Cause we're the fishes and all we do
    The move about is all we do
    Well, oh baby, my hair's on end about you

    Floating, bumping, noses dodge a tooth, the fins aluminous
    Fangs all 'round, the clown is dark, below the boulders hiding all
    The sunlight's good for us
    'Cause we're the fishes and all we do
    The move about is all we do

    Happy birthday Syd, shine on!

  77. T.... R....

    he deserved better

  80. �.... �....

    syd barrett good People

  81. �.... �....

    lsd its no good ((((((((((((((((

  82. M.... C....

    The best thing that ever happened to Pink Floyd is that Syd Barrett died.

    M.... C....

    Michael Cadorette You deserve to die for writing this.

  83. C.... A....

    Syd's songs gave me soo much hope when I had hard times. Hes a beautiful, talented person that can portray emotion through his amazing music. Thank you syd

  84. A.... C....

    It takes generations to understand genius. While madness has yet to be understood. RIP Syd.

  85. R.... ....

    I can listen to it forever

  86. R.... S....

    Too much to be just a musician

  87. V.... E....

    he is a dickhead

  88. S.... S....

    Did Syd loved or liked the music that came from pink floyd after he left?
    Its oviously different i mean from what he created

  89. m.... m....

    What a great musician he was

  90. J.... S....

    Absolutely brilliant

  91. T.... ....

    This was made by someone in touch with the universe. It calms my heart when I listen. Honest and open minded guy Syd. Rest as you see fit, if you wish friend - maybe music isn't what you wanted for us to remember you by, but songs of this beauty means we forever will

    I've written this comment to be complex on acid.

  92. N.... t....

    I plan to sing this to my boyfriend at some point. He seems to like my voice so... wish me luck?

  93. m.... ....

    What I would call the brilliant mind of Pink Floyd.

  94. p.... w....

    4:59 does any one knows whats this effect and how he made it?
    it's sound like some rolling metal ring getting into an ended inertia

  95. J.... h....

    My favourite song of all time.

  96. S.... W....

    My hero R I P syd barrett
