A SAUCERFUL OF SECRETS
La mente di Syd era sempre più malata, e la sua presenza sul palco meno
attiva, tanto da spingere gli altri floyd ad assumere un nuovo chitarrista,
amico di Roger Waters, e di Syd Barrett. Il suo nome era David Gilmour; più
dotato tecnicamente di Syd, ma meno a suo agio tra le pazze atmosfere del
gruppo. Durò poco la formazione a 5 e Syd si lasciò convincere ad
intraprendere una carriera solistica, proposta fatta anche a Wright, che non
accettò, di cui parleremo in seguito. Ma restiamo al nuovo album, uscito nel
1968, con una sola creazione di Barrett: Jugband Blues, autodiagnosi del suo
precario stato mentale. Sono Wright e Waters i più attivi, ma è il bassista
a eccellere in creatività regalando la famosissima Set the controls for the
heart of the sun e la simpatica corporal Clegg, oltre a let there more than
light. Wright presenta le dolcissime See-Saw e Remember a Day, dove suona
ancora Barrett. Mason e Gilmour appaiono assieme agli altri due nella
stupenda A Saucerful of secrets, dove gli organi fanno la parte del leone,
mentre David, con lo slash crea suoni ipnotici e molto suggestivi. L'album è
carino, nulla comunque a confronto con Piper, e segna l'inizio, ma pure la
fine delle esibizioni assolutamente spaziale dei Pink nella musica
elettronica. L'album che verrà, More, infatti segnerà già un cammino sonoro
ben diverso, ampliando l'aspetto melodico della chitarra e del piano.

A Saucerful of Secrets
Produced by Norman Smith
Released July 1968
 Let There Be More Light  (Waters)
Far, far, far away - way
People heard him say - say
I will find a way - way
There will come a day - day
Something will be done.
Then at last the mighty ship
Descending on a point of flame
Made contact with the human race
And melted hearts
Now, now, now is the time - time
Time to be - be - be aware
Carter's father saw him there and
Knew the road revealed to him
The living soul of .....
Oh, my, something in my eye - eye
Something in the sky - sky
Waiting there for me
The outer lock rolled slowly back
The service men were heard to sigh
For there revealed in glowing robes
Was Lucy in the sky
Oh - oh - did you ever know - know
Never ever will they
I cannot say
Something in his cosmic art
And glowing slightly from his toes
The psychic and the nations fly
 Remember a Day  (Wright)
Remember a day before today
A day when you were young.
Free to play alone with time
Evening never came.
Sing a song that can't be sung
Without the morning's kiss
Queen - you shall be it if you wish
Look for your king
Why can't we play today
Why can't we stay that way
Climb your favorite apple tree
Try to catch the sun
Hide from your little brother's gun
Dream yourself away
Why can't we reach the sun
Why can't we blow the years away
Blow away
Blow away
Remember
Remember
 Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun  (Waters)
Little by little the night turns around.
Counting the leaves which tremble and turn.
Lotus's lean on each other in union.
Over the hills where a swallow is resting.
Set the controls for the heart of the sun.
Over the mountain watching the watcher.
Breaking the darkness waking the grapevine.
Morning to birth is born into shadow
Love is the shadow that ripens the wine.
Set the controls for the heart of the sun.
The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun.
Who is the man who arrives at the wall?
Making the shape of his questions at asking.
Thinking the sun will fall in the evening.
Will he remember the lesson of giving?
Set the controls for the heart of the sun.
The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun.
 Corporal Clegg  (Waters)
Corporal Clegg had a wooden leg
He won it in the war, in 1944.
Corporal Clegg had a medal too
In orange, red, and blue
He found it in the zoo.
Dear, dear were they really sad for me?
Dear, dear will they really laugh at me?
Mrs. Clegg, you must be proud of him.
Mrs. Clegg, another drop of gin.
Corporal Clegg umbrella in the rain
He's never been the same
No one is to blame
Corporal Clegg received his medal in a dream
From Her Majesty the queen
His boots were very clean.
Mrs. Clegg, you must be proud of him
Mrs. Clegg, another drop of gin.

 See Saw  (Wright)
Marigolds are very much in love, but he doesn't mind
Picking up his sister, he makes his way into the seas or land
All the way she smiles
She goes up while he goes down, down
Sits on a stick in the river
Laughter in his sleep
Sister's throwing stones, hoping for a hit
He doesn't know so then
She goes up while he goes down, down
Another time, another day
A brother's way to leave
Another time, another day
She'll be selling plastic flowers on a Sunday afternoon
Picking up weeds, she hasn't got the time to care
All can see he's not there
She grows up for another man, and he's down
Another time, another day
A brother's way to leave
Another time, another day
Another time, another day
A brother's way to leave
 Jugband Blues  (Barrett)
It's awfully considerate of you to think of me here
And I'm much obliged to you for making it clear
That I'm not here.
And I never knew we could be so thick
And I never knew the moon could be so blue
And I'm grateful that you threw away my old shoes
And brought me here instead dressed in red
And I'm wondering who could be writing this song.
I don't care if the sun don't shine
And I don't care if nothing is mine
And I don't care if I'm nervous with you
I'll do my loving in the winter.
And the sea isn't green
And I love the queen
And what exactly is a dream
And what exactly is a joke.
