I've got a bike.
You can ride it if you like.
It's got a basket, a bell that rings,
and things to make it look good.
I'd give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it.

You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world.
I'll give you anything, everything, if you want things.


RIP Syd

ok, so I just looked it up and apparently he only worked with the band on the first two albums?

I think I liked the stuff that the band made after he left, but still, RIP.

He was the main creative force behind Piper at the gates... but only made one song for Saucerful of Secrets

truly a unique and gifted soul... RIP
