SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND
Quiero dedicar esta entrada al Diamante Loco: Roger Keith "Syd" Barrett.
Eras un genio, solo vos te podias poner una mezcla de spray para pelo mezclado con no se cuantas substancias mas, y luego, al salir al escenario, y con las transpiracion y las luces parecia que se te derretia la cara.
Las letras que creaste, tu estilo, tu afro a la Hendrix, tus manias, tus locuras, y mucho mas hacen que seas lo que fuiste; un GENIO.
Prueba de ello, dos canciones de su propiedad, de su puño y letra.
Asi son los genios, Llegan enseguida, y enseguida se van...
The Gnome.
I want to tell you a story
About a little manIf I can.
A gnome named Grimble Grumble.
And little gnomes stay in their homes.
Eating, sleeping, drinking their wine.
He wore a scarlet tunic,
A blue green hood,It looked quite good.
He had a big adventure
Amidst the grassFresh air at last.
Wining, dining, biding his time.
And then one day - hooray!
Another way for gnomes to say
Ooh my
Look at the sky, look at the river
Isn't it good?
Look at the sky, look at the river
Isn't it good?
Winding, finding places to go.
And then one day - hooray!
Another way for gnomes to say
Ooh my Oooooh my
Corporal Clegg
Corporal Clegg had a wooden leg
he won it in the war
in nineteen forty four
Corporal Clegg had a medal too
in orange and blue,
he found it in the zoo
Dear oh dear, oh are they really sad for me
dear oh dear, oh will they really laugh at me
Mrs. Clegg, you must be proud of him
Mrs. Clegg, another drop of gin
Corporal Clegg received his medal in a dream
from Her Majesty the Queen,
his boots were very clean
Corporal Clegg, umbrella in the rain
he's never been the same but no one is to blame.
