Oldies (but Goldies) : Pink Floyd






Je ne présenterai pas ce groupe que tout le monde connait. Une histoire détaillée est disponible sur Wikipedia.
Mon propos ici est de partager une facette peu connue du groupe, leur premier album, paru en Août 1967, "The Piper at the gates of Dawn". Ce disque est le seul à avoir été enregistré avec Syd Barrett à la guitare et composition musicale, remplacé ensuite par David Gilmour dès le second album.
Syd Barrett
fut l'un des membres fondateurs de Pink floyd.





"Bike"

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, ev'rything if you want things.
I've got a cloak. It's a bit of a joke.
There's a tear up the front. It's red and black.
I've had it for months.
If you think it could look good, then I guess it should.
You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world.
I'll give you anything, ev'rything if you want things.
I know a mouse, and he hasn't got a house.
I don't know why. I call him Gerald.
He's getting rather old, but he's a good mouse.
You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world.
I'll give you anything, ev'rything if you want things.
I've got a clan of gingerbread men.
Here a man, there a man, lots of gingerbread men.
Take a couple if you wish. They're on the dish.
You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world.
I'll give you anything, ev'rything if you want things.
I know a room of musical tunes.
Some rhyme, some ching. Most of them are clockwork.
Let's go into the other room and make them work.
