Floating down the sound resounds
Around the icy waters underground
Jupiter and Saturn Oberon Miranda
And Titania Neptune Titan
Stars can frighten...

Blinding signs flap flicker flicker flicker
Blam pow pow
Stairway scare Dan Dare who's there...

Lime and limpid green
The sound surrounds the icy waters under
Lime and limpid green
The surrounds the icy waters
Underground

Oooh, that was a good one from an early and not so popular album.

Astronomy Domine

Who wrote it?

I assume it would be syd barrett? No doubt I,m wrong. But if thats correct I can only assume the song you refer to would be S,O,Y,C,D?

Correct on both counts

I guess my last question kind of gave it away for the fans.

My Mum and Dad bought me a copy of Relics in the early 70s when I was perhaps about 6 or 7 years old. Use to listen to it constantly along with teh Beatles White Album. I think we had 6 Lps in the house back then and I had to compete with Shirley Bassey, Ray Coniff? Tom Jones and Englebert Humperdink. Heard See Emily Play on the radio yesterday which brought it all back. I wonder how Blur got away with releasing 'theres no other way' its the same song!

Err, your parents had 'eclectic' taste in music.

Damn good move giving you Relics so young! My eldest boy is in to David Bowie at the moment - he's 10!

And Blur - well, dunno but it was pretty damn cheeky!

I'd be into David Bowie given half a chance

Yup, they started buying cassettes of all sorts of **** as time went on. I think they used to go to some sort of Cash & Carry place where they had a limited selection of music. Later on they would come home with Stylistics and such like cassettes but they would always be something for me. I remember getting a T rex album which changed my life music wise. I actually wore the tape out in about 6 months. Then I got Deep Purple 'In Rock' and a few similar albums. Then the Punk thing started and me and my mates would between us buy 1 single a week and share it!
