Syd Barrett - Waving My Arms In The Air Lyrics






Waving my arms in the air
Love, my love, got no care
No care, no no
Pressing my feet to the ground
Stand up right where you stand
Call to you and what do you do?
Laying back in a chair?

She's so high on the air
She's so high on the air
Half and half, half and half
All you have to do to call
Is hold her hand, stand a while
And then smile and we'll understand
Yes we do, yes yes we do.

Oh what a girl I've got too
Oh what a girl I've got too
With her slinky look she held her tie to her hair
And I could see everywhere
No one in the land, no one
No one in the land, no one
But it rains on Saturday
Cats and dogs in the hay
Stormy day, hey hey
And you shouldn't try to be what you can't be
You shouldn't try to be what you can't be
Call to you and what do you do?

    I just wanna cry when I hear this. This song and album (Barrett, 1970) was a big inspiration for my youth when I hit grade 12, it really opened me up to easy listening tunes and I do remember nostalgia playing a big part of that.

    Dude...I'm back a year later to this video, and I think it's just Fantastic! You really wove it nicely together.
    Helps give some melancholy closure to the whole Syd story in one song. Thanks, from All The Fans.

  47. L.... ....

  55. s.... g....

    @orzabal1983islove he sure was wasnt he?????
    a sweet thing...

  56. t.... ....

    There will be shoulder pressing in the hall...classic!

    t.... ....

    teddy1066 all Syd’s lyrics are wobbly dishwashers

  57. S.... ....

    I've watched this four times =D

  58. D.... �....

    good work man, i like what you did with syd

  59. D.... H....

    a testiment to the skills of the backup musicians. at this time in Syd's life, his writting was fluid and unpredictable, and like Bob Dylan, Syd preferred to go without rehersal and with 1st take. This recording sounds like 4 or 5 songs strung together.

  60. l.... s....

    nice work on the video. much love

  61. O.... R....

    classic way to shine.. syd r.i.p. crazy diamond

  62. s.... ....

    Fabulous video!! Ahhh, love Syd...

  63. l.... ....

    Shine on, you crazy Diamond.

    RIP, Syd.

  64. 7.... ....

    No. His singing is as big a part of the overall sound as his guitar playing (what a completely original slide guitarist he was). You are right though: the thought of him and Jimi bouncing ideas of each other on guitar playing, song writing... the mind boggles.

  65. a.... ....

    I really wished he would have stayed with the outside world, not to be a big star again but just to say hello from time to time. Nonetheless , R.I.P.

  66. v.... ....

    go look at him at 60 what a shame mary jane one of the best one of i feel biggest loses next to hendrix what if syd wrote hendrix played and then morrison chants what could of been

  67. v.... ....

    one of my favorites of Syd's i got lost on lsd took 3 yrs. took stop seeing shit and sill now from time to time becareful people tune in drop out and straighten out

  68. j.... ....

    Good video, makes a nice change from all the photograph ones.

  69. s.... ....

    shine on...

  70. J.... S....

    Great video :D
    I just love looking at Syd <3

  71. k.... ....

    Nice, it's like it's walking by it self :)

  72. T.... D....

    The best video about Syd.

  73. c.... ....

    sweet indeed

  74. 2.... ....

    I prefer to think you are right.
    I totally agree with you.
    Thankyou.

    I heard a story that while recording, Syd would actually use his "insanity" to his advantage.

  75. J.... ....

    Wonderful montage and song!!! Thank you! :-)

  76. S.... ....

    One of best video tribute ever. Tx for post it; Syd shine!

  77. A.... ....

    I think I speak for most of us when I say F U.

  78. M.... O....

    Poor Syd - or maybe we're all poor and he is having a fab time....

  79. A.... ....

    Eargasmic.

  80. c.... ....

  81. T.... C....

    This has made my night!
    No! My week!
    No! My month!
    No! You get the message!
    Wow - some of those clips I have never before seen. Again, thank you so much for taking the time to put this together, a wonderful piece of work. Syd would smile. X

  82. S.... ....
