Syd Barrett - No Good Trying lyrics

I'm of the mind to make some mookie

phonebook

The phone rings, it's Vicki callin'

She wants me 2 come 2 the crib

She says conversation's better than being lonely

So I try my best to ad lib

I told the joke about the woman

Who asked her lover "Why is your organ so small?"

He replied "I didn't know I was playin' in a cathedral"

Vicki didn't laugh at all

chorus:

This is where she wants 2 be

I am what she wants 2 see

I never known a love so sweet

Still I keep Vicki waiting

Alright

All is well in Gotham City

The sound of terror is all U hear

Sometimes a pistol takes the place of her body

Sometimes her body's here

But U see when crime is your only love

All that matter is the present, the here and now

People, people, whatever floats this joker's boat

Is whatever this joker will bang

chorus

Oh yeah

Talk of children still frightens me

Is my character enough 2 be

One that deserves a copy made?

This I one day, hope 2 see

Until then she's held at bay

By my animal-like persistence

Or maybe she's just 2 proud 2 say

That fate (fate) brought us together

And this is where she wants 2 stay

chorus

chorus

All is well in Gotham town

This is where she wants 2 be

I am what she wants 2 see

I've never known a love so sweet

Still I keep Vicki

Still I keep Vicki

Still I keep Vicki waiting (waiting)

Aha aha

Still I keep Vicki

Still I keep Vicki waiting
