My absolute favourite song of all time. Totally superb.

[moniquelemaure]

c'est tellement émouvant cette musique, mon mari décédé il y a 9 mois, était fou de Robert Wyatt, je l'écoute de plus en plus en mémoire de lui . Merci Mr Wyatt pour votre énorme talent et de nous provoquer une telle émotion .

[michaelpuleston]

I love Robert's singing a true maverick musical genius.

[sibrandon]

One of the greatest love songs ever written imho. I absolutely adore this track. Thank you Robert.
Although ironically my wife just crossed the street to get away from me singing it at the top of my lungs, so what do I know

[mattmcclellan]

This and the following track "A Last Straw" should be enough to warrant Wyatt a lifetime achievement award.

[hlodowing]

Peter Hammill (Van der Graaf Generator) and Robert Wyatt (Soft machine) for me in This musical Field, Them are the BEST and the Masters!!!

[jeanfrederic]

I could listen to this song for hours on end, all the time.

[enzogalli]

Masterpiece!! Art, music and genius...RW!!

[TheCrackerpipe]

This man and the rock bottom album Have been a staple of my listening diet for years now . He’s bloody magical !

[ruthdixon]

rock bottom is wyatt's great work. it's not really an album to excerpt, but this is a good way in.

[albertfrancois]

"Rock Bottom" the tittle of the iconic record of Robert Wyatt ... a jewel, perhaps the most clever pop music ever ! Nevertheless, a sensitive way of music that not everybody can understand neither feel !🥰🥰🥰This is what i listened to when i was 20 Yo !!! Such an authentic psychedelic music doesn' t exist anymore in western societies, but is spreading much and more in India ... another level of consciousness that the herd cannot reach to !

You look different every time
You come from the foam-crested brine
It's your skin shining softly in the moonlight
Partly fish, partly porpoise, partly baby sperm whale
Am I yours? Are you mine to play with?
Joking apart

When you're drunk you're terrific
When you're drunk I like you mostly
Late at night, you're quite alright


But I can't understand the different you
In the morning when it's time to play
At being human for a while
Please smile



(interlude)

You'll be different in the spring, I know
You're a seasonal beast
Like the starfish that drift in with the tide, with the tide
So until your blood runs to meet the next full moon
Your madness fits in nicely with my own, with my own
Your lunacy fits neatly with my own
My very own



We're not alone

Love this song. There is something wonderful about it.

[ugomastroianni]

A Robert l'Oscar per il piu grande album della musica Rock! MERAVIGLIOSO

[Blatryon]

This song has been one of my favorites for a long time. I'm also a big Lovecraft fan and only a few days back I realized how very very lovecraftian the lyrics are 😮

[axelgagnie]

Une des plus belles mélodies de Robert...

[stellanlehrberg]
