Re the previously unheard track:In 2010 I was obsessed w "Golden Hair" by Syd Barrett; he sings to a girl who's singing out her window. His lyrics were taken from Part V of James Joyce's 'Chamber Music'. So I set...
V
Lean out of the window
Goldenhair
I hear you singing
A merry air
My book was closed
I read no more
Watching the fire dance
On the floor
I have left my book
I have left my room
For I heard you singing
Through the gloom
Singing and singing
A merry air
Lean out of the window
Goldenhair
X
Bright cap and streamers
He sings in the hollow:
Come follow, come follow
All you that love
Leave dreams to the dreamers
That will not after
That song and laughter
Do nothing move
With ribbons streaming
He sings the bolder;
In troop at his shouldеr
The wild bees hum
And the time of drеaming
Dreams is over – -
As lover to lover
Sweetheart, I come
