No Good Trying

Syd Barrett

It's no good trying to place your hand 
Where I can't see because I understand 
That you're different from me 
Yes I can tell 
That you can't be what you pretend 
And you're rocking me backwards 
And you're rocking towards the 
Red and yellow mane of a stallion horse. 

It's no good trying to hold your love 
Where I can't see because I understand 
That you're different from me 
Yes I can tell 
That you can't be what you pretend 
The caterpillar hood won't cover the head of you 
Know you should be home in bed. 

It's no good holding your sequin fan 
Where I can't see because I understand 
That you're different from me 
Yes I can tell 
That you can't be what you pretend 
Yes you're spinning around and around in a car 
With electric lights flashing very fast...
