Clap Your Hands - Lyrics - Baby Lemonade

"Baby Lemonade" is the opening track to Syd Barrett's second studio album, Barrett. "Baby Lemonade", and another song, "Gigolo Aunt", they were a go for Barrett to play and or sing to an existing backing track. The solo was performed by Barrett, not David Gilmour as is often noted. The intro was actually Barrett simply warming-up on guitar, that Gilmour had managed to record and placed it at the start of the album, making it seem like an intro to the song. It was included on the multi-artist Harvest compilation, A Breath of Fresh Air â A Harvest Records Anthology 1969â1974 in 2007.

I wanna float like a halo the heavy air has kept me on the ground in other days we did so much when pleasure was a canvas you could brush when every whisper seemed to say so much I'm in a role - I'm a player and all the other stars are almost gone and all the friends - you miss the most where London Bridges fall or so it goes the cloudy lanes where Eden was 2 close in the summer we explore it makes me sad the advance we never had tonight I think the show is over somebody please clap your hands lights are shining somewhere life is going nowhere lights are shining somewhere life is going nowhere it's a long drive out to happiness it's all hills when the tank is filled with rock & roll and all that we ever found we could never really leave the ground and things you want don't stay around in the summer we made love it makes me sad - the chance we never had tonight - I think the story's over somebody please clap your hands I think the show is over oh yeah
