Linton Samuel Dawson Lyrics
Linton Samuel Dawson
Lives in inner space
He hangs around with a circus troupe
Outside the human race
Linton Samuel Dawson
Has just reached 25
Artists travel from outside time
Just to see his rainbow jive
He's bored, He's bored.
Linton Samuel Dawson
Yields his knowledge in a phial
A vivid play on an emerald day
Is experienced in his smile
Linton Samuel Dawson
Visits many open minds
He aids escape to tranquility
From the boredom of mankind
Boredom. From the boredom.
From the boredom of mankind.
Lives in inner space
He hangs around with a circus troupe
Outside the human race
Has just reached 25
Artists travel from outside time
Just to see his rainbow jive
Yields his knowledge in a phial
A vivid play on an emerald day
Is experienced in his smile
Visits many open minds
He aids escape to tranquility
From the boredom of mankind
From the boredom of mankind.

Linton Samuel Dawson was the fictional name SW made up for a member of Porcupine Tree's road crew. He was paranoid about record labels not taking home studio recordings seriously, so he made up a fictional background about them. Another member of the group was Sir Tarquin Underspoon.
Interestingly enough, his name spells LSD. Explains? ;)
Really Really weird song.
yea, i think thats pretty obvious... especially with the "just reached 25" (LSD-25)
"Yields his knowledge in a phial"
i think that should probably be vial. you know, as in the storage unit for lysergic acid diethylamide and many other chemicals.
hm, i wasn't aware that phial is also an appropriate spelling. :P sorry, you english fellows.
Early PT stuff was sometimes... weirdo :S
