Lyrics:

 

 

Arnold Layne.

(Barrett)

 

Arnold Layne had a strange hobby - collecting clothes

Moonshine, washing line

They suit him fine.

 

On the wall hung a tall mirror

Distorted view

See thru' baby blue.

 

He dug it - oh Arnold Layne

It's not the same

Takes two to know

Two to know

Why can't you see

Arnold Layne.

 

Now he's caught

A nasty sort of person

They gave him time

Doors clang, chain gang.

 

He hates it - Oh Arnold Layne

It's not the same

Takes two to know

Two to know

Why can't you see

Arnold Layne

Don't do it again.

 

 

Candy And A Currant Bun.

(Barrett)

 

Let's Roll Another One

 

Oh my girl sitting in the sky

Go buy candy and encouragement

I like to see you cry

Lay back

 

Oooh, don't talk to me

Please, just fuck with me

Please you know I'm feeling frail

 

Talk, talk, talk to me

Please just walk with me

Please no feeling frail

 

It's true sun's shining very bright

It's you I'm going to love tonight

Ice cream tastes good in the afternoon

Ice cream tastes good if you eat it soon

 

Ooh, don't touch me child

Please - no !

You drive me wild

Please you know I'm feeling frail

 

Don't try another cat

Don't go where other you must know why

View very, very frail

 

Oh my girl sitting in the sun

Go buy candy and a currant bun

I like to see you run

Like that...

 

Oh my girl fading in the sun

Go buy a candy and a currant bun

I'm high! Don't try to spoil the fun

Go cry or I'll have another one

 

Ooh don't touch me child

Please, you know you drive me wild

Please, you know I'm feeling frail

 

Ooh don't talk to me

Please, just walk with me

Please, you know I'm feeling frail

 

It's true sun's shining very bright

It's you I'm going to love tonight

Ice cream tastes good if you eat it right

Ice cream tastes good if you treat it right

 

Ooh don't talk to me

Please, you know you drive me wild

Please, you know I'm feeling frail

 

Oh my girl fading in the sun

Go buy a candy and a currant bun

I'm high don't try to spoil the fun

Go cry or I'll have another one
