Trip to heave and ho, up down, to and fro'
you have no word (non communication)
trip, trip to a dream dragon
hide your wings in a ghost tower
sails cackling at every plate we break (visions, hallucinations, and so-called splits)
cracked by scattered needles (reference to the fact that he took heroin, although this is also generally unknown about him)
the little minute gong
coughs and clears his throat
madam you see before you stand
hey ho, never be still (desire for interaction and communication with women)
the old original favourite grand
grasshoppers green Herbarian band (his spiritual/wiccan/paganistic views, and the way this related to music and creativity)
and the tune they play is "In Us Confide" (the reference to people in general, the collective idea of the goddess in nature and human beings)
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! (the shutting off of creativity from it’s mad and sane social processes and functions)
Isn't it good to be lost in the wood
isn't it bad so quiet there, in the wood (another reference to others so-called non-communication, and his forced desire, to be made to accept and believe this)
meant even less to me than I thought
with a honey plough of yellow prickly seeds (this is a reference to crops, and nature, which he believed was related to the love and sexuality, between people, particularly, between men and women)
clover honey pots and mystic shining feed... (this is reference to the fact that he believed that crops and seasons were related to human sexual interaction, experience, behaviour, and love, and that food was an offering from the goddess. He believed that God was the Goddess, but the Goddess was not an entity, but was a general, or a collection idea or experience for him)
well, the madcap laughed at the man on the border (this is the men who tried to confuse him, or stop him from fully loving and understanding women, and the Goddess in all human beings)
hey ho, huff the Talbot
"Cheat" he cried shouting kangaroo (this is a reference to the fact that he realised that he was not cheated on by women, but that they wanted a new kind of spiritual, sexual, and social relationship with him, and that his visions and creativity, were very much a part of that in his lyrics and music)
it's true in their tree they cried (another reference, to nature, society, and sexuality, related to his and others idea of truth)
Please leave us here
close our eyes to the octopus ride!
The madcap 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 (this was his very clear idea, that the Goddess, as he saw it, was potentially enclosed within human male and female genitalia, and again related to nature and society - as was the devil - but the devil was not considered by to be male or female, and was much more related to split and fragmented social meanings)
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 (reference to the changing of the seasons, crops, and the well-being of human beings in society. Could be seen as ecological)
the squeaking door will always squeak
two up, two down we'll never meet (this describes the disconnections, and connections that he made, at the point at where he became insane)
so merrily trip forgo my side (this describes, what some people call the projection, or understanding he had, of the distorted and disconnected visions and language in others socially)
Please leave us here
close our eyes to the octopus ride!
