Cover art for Baby Lemonade lyrics by Syd Barrett

alright, I'm ready to interpret.... here we go (that's one of his songs)

First of all, anyone who ever doubted syd as an amazing guitar player can eat this song and choke on it. As far as the meaning.... this song is just like most of his other solo songs. It's a song about writing songs lol. Baby lemonade is the sweet feeling of having made good artwork. He lives in the sad town. The cold iron hands clap for him. The party of clowns are at his show. His life is rain falling in grey far away. He writes at night. Here's a great line....

Send a cage through the post, make your name like a ghost.

He's already imprisoned in his own mind, but once he gets that creative drive taking over him, it's like another thing to cage him out from the rest of the world.

He met you by screaming. People who write know that you write your best stuff when you're really bothered by something. The clock they sent through the washing machine. I think he's just saying you lose track of time, but it's not like you had a sense of time to begin with lol. He says come around, so alone. He is missing the great feelign artists get doing their work. There ya have it. More to come soon. IM me people. I love to chat about this stuff. :)
