"Trip to heave and ho
Up down, to and fro'
You have no word
Trip, trip to a dream dragon
Hide your wings in a ghost tower

Sails cackling at every plate we break
Cracked by scattered needles
The little minute gong coughs and clears his throat
Madam you see before you stand
Hey ho, never be still
The old original favorite grand
Grasshoppers green Herbarian band
And the tune they play is "In Us Confide"

So trip to heave and ho
Up down, to and fro'
You have no word
Please leave us here
Close our eyes to the octopus ride!

Isn't it good to be lost in the wood
Isn't it bad so quiet there, in the wood
Meant even less to me than I thought
With a honey plough of yellow prickly seeds
Clover honey pots and mystic shining feed

Well, the mad cat laughed
At the man on the border
Hey ho, huff the Talbot
"Cheat" he cried shouting kangaroo
It's true in their tree they cried
Please leave us here
Close our eyes to the octopus ride!

Please leave us here
Close our eyes to the octopus ride!

The mad cat laughed
At the man on the border
Hey ho, huff the Talbot
The winds they blew and the leaves did wag
They'll never put me in their bag

The seas will reach and always seep
So high you go, so low you creep
The wind it blows in tropical heat
The drones they throng on mossy seats
The squeaking door will always squeak
Two up, two down we'll never meet
So merrily trip forgo my side

Please leave us here
Close our eyes to the octopus ride!"

A perhaps more accurate transcription of the Lyrics (Madcap not Mad cat) resides at the Official Syd Barrett site,  with some in-depth analysis of "Octopus" lyrics.

How is H.I.M. doing ,Stu?

Jaz,

Took the hound out to the Coast for the Free Sunday afternoon Music again.  He & his girlfriend Leela had a nice time and howled at each other.

They snacked on Dog Treats and made googly Eyes at each other.

Leela is another Hüsky he picked up at Dawg Park.

He's starting to get interested in the Girls lately,  which is nice.

Thanks for the update.  How about a thread.
