Originally titled Wouldn’t You Miss Me, from its most impassioned lyric, Dark Globe was of the very last songs Syd Barrett wrote as his solo debut, The Madcap Laughs neared completion. He introduced it to the proceedings during the penultimate sessions of June 13/14 1969 and required just two takes...
[Verse 1]
Oh where are you now
Pussy willow that smiled on this leaf?
When I was alone you promised the stone from your heart
[Pre-Chorus]
My head kissed the ground
I was half the way down, treading the sand
[Chorus 1]
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?
[Verse 2]
The poppy birds' way
Swing twigs coffee browns around
Brandish her wand with a feathery tongue
[Pre-Chorus]
My head kissed the ground
I was half the way down, treading the sand
[Chorus 2]
Please, please, please lift a 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?
