Nick Mason in his Saucerful of Secrets band here in 2022 played with the original “let’s roll another one” lyrics. Prolly hasn’t been played live in a long long time and I was happy to be there
@@lil-fuispy2409 They didn't play it until at least summer to late 1966 as they didn't start doing any real experimental shows with material like Piper until then in association with the London Free School. Prior to that it was mostly just covers of old blues bands. I don't think they ever played it with the original lyrics outside of the Roundhouse or UFO, Waters would never let Syd do that at an organized concert at Queen Elizabeth's hall either. If you have a source that they played original lyrics I'm interested but nothing on Games for May according my sources which are very detailed explain them using the original lyrics, as it was on the bill as "Candy and a Currant Bun" when "Let's Roll Another One" was the true version. Then it became "we'll have another one" in the lyrics before they were forced to change it entirely
@@jmdavison62 That's how they sang it live in the clubs, Syd and the others assumed "we'll have another one" would be vague enough. "I'm high don't try to spoil my fun" is what messed it up here. But yea, they played it in the UFO all the time with the original lyric. I've come across it on YT some time ago and have never found it again, not even in my search history. It had the original lyrics to Matilda Mother too, but you can at least get fragments of Matilda Mother live from the UFO in January 1967. They sounded completely different on stage but Let's Roll Another One / Candy and a Currant Bun is the closest thing they released that resembled their live sound at the time.
Beechwoodsilaslang, This original version, with the uncensored lyrics and including Rick Wright's Farfisa Organ solo, should have finally been released on the recent version box set - PINK FLOYD - THE EARLY YEARS 1965-1972. What an oversight!!! Syd Barrett was very adamant that this track be released as is but Roger Waters told Syd to "Shut Up!" So, Barrett reluctantly composed different lyrics and laid down a new Lead Vocal with Rick Wright's Harmony Vocals. Raul.🙂
@@squiddygirl1633yea he always has. Kicked out a bandmate who was depressed and had a drug problem rather than try helping. Then he felt bad about it and supposedly learned from it, but the moment another band member gets depressed and develops a drug problem (Richard wright) he kicks them out again rather than try to help. And in wrights case it wasn’t nearly as bad as Syd and he still treated him the same.
@mandalove1858 💯 I will forever believe that Roger Waters is one of the worst people in Rock and Roll history. An evil, pretentious twat. Syd and Rick both deserved better. Rip Syd and Rick
It's interesting how Syd Barrett sings these original lyrics with a lot more enthusiasm! Barrett was very adamant that his lyrics not be altered at the session but was overruled after Roger Waters told Syd to shut up. The revised lyrics are hard to decipher! By the way, what happened to Rick Wright's excellent Farfisa Organ solo on this mix? This version should have finally been given an official release and included on the recent release - "Pink Floyd The Early Years 1967-1972." What an oversight!!! Raul.🙂
Roger didn't say that, and he wasn't the reason why Syd changed the lyrics... That was because of Joe Boyd. This and "Arnold Layne" were recorded to shop to record labels, and EMI in particular were turning bands down left and right at the time for lyrics with blatant drug themes, because the BBC was banning songs with said lyrical themes. It wasn't Roger Waters.
Yea this definitely has variations from the original studio recording that I'm familiar with. Christians have their Bible; from ages 13-23, Pink Floyd recordings were one of the closest things I had to a "Bible."
The fact that the lyrics do not reflect the word F----K in the song is perfectly herd at the time of 1:01 on this version where Syd is clearly heard to say "Please just WALK with me." The idea that he says that (even in response to the record company making him change some of the the lyrics) is preposterous! Indeed, as throughout the whole song he repeats not to touch him - as he is feeling frail. Furthermore, it doesn't even sound like he is using that word anyway! He did not throw that in simply to harass the record company, despite some peoples logic, instead he says: "WALK with me" in the recorded version just as he says here @ 1:01!
Are you arguing with me? It's my birthday 12-18-1966. Listen, you can actually verify that the original lyrics are more pure in a You Tube Video(s) that demonstrate in various versions that no such lyric was really in there. Maybe, in one version at most, (I haven't heard one yet) but that's not really what was intended in the original lyric.
+CosmicDayz The vocal styling is definitely different on the released version, but I still think it's very debatable whether he was trying to sneak in anything, or merely pronouncing the word a little more like Count Dracula (or something) just for fun. Sounds more like "valk" than "f*ck."
The Aztec Calendar Channel I never believed he said "fuck" in the released version. In all versions he over sings the word AND EMI had them change the lyrics because they would not release it otherwise and we are to believe they were okay with the word "fuck"? Not even the Beatles who were EMI's cash cow could get away with a stunt like that.
Lyrics(Approx.) Oh my, girl sitting in the sun Go buy, candy and a currant bun I'm high, don't to try to scorn/storm my fun Don't cry, we'll have another one Ooh, don't touch me child Please, you know you drive me wild Please, you know I'm feeling frail It's true- Sun shining very bright It's you, I'm gonna love tonight Ice cream, taste good if you eat it right Ice cream, taste good if you treat it right(?) Ooh, don't talk to me Please, just fock with me Please, you know I'm feeling frail Oh my, girl sitting in the sun Go buy, candy and a currant bun I'm high, don't to try to scorn/storm my fun Don't cry, we'll have another one Ooh, don't touch me child Please, you know you drive me wild Please, you know I'm feeling frail
Riviere8281 Probably not, unless it appeared on that new massive box set. EMI heard this and would not release it. New lyrics written and it became the B side to Arnold Layne. Being at this time they were Pink Who? in the eyes of the record label, they probably just went over the original vocal track with the new lyrics.
@@azypy where. I'm pretty sure there's only one recording of "Candy and a Currant Bun" with the original, uncensored lyrics. It was recorded during a rehearsal.
+19BB60 thats because it was very early, like before they made the album. eventually the name became "pink floyd" while syd was still in the lead." if you ever wish to do more, do some research tho. its definitely worth
Yea, this is the early Pink Floyd that only diehard fans listen too. Most Floyd Fans nowadays just listen to The Wall, Wish You Were Here, and Dark Side of the Moon. Those 3 albums alone are responsible for like 18 songs that can still be heard on Classic Rock radio stations. Thy are completely ignorant of the fact that Floyd had 7 albums before Dark Side of the Moon, and several individual singles, like this one.
actually i like all of Syd Barretts work with Floyd , Paintbox from Rick Wright is a good early song too ! I was trying to be a sarcastic clown with my original post lol
It is the very earliest recording of the band, not the finished article, but a vignette from a time when the Pink Floyd were genuine innovators, rather than the sterile and formulaic automatons whose later works appealed so much to a spiritually complacent mass audience. For my money there is more creative merit in any one of Syd Barrett's songs than in the rest of the Floyds entire output .
An early psychedelic masterpiece, with Syd steering this beautiful sonic vision on a sunny afternoon ;-)

They played this in the UFO into the spring of 1967 I'm pretty sure.
They played it in 1965-1966 with the original lyrics and at the Games for May the 12th May 1967 but all the recordings are lost...

This reeks of weed and girls in psychedelic-pattern bikinis... Which makes it one of the best songs ever...
u know it, u get it at least!
He was the best singer song writer etc in pink Floyd rest in peace sid barret
Candy, rolls, buns, ice cream... Syd's trying to get his girl in shape with all that walking and running.
There's nothing wrong with this hippy that strenuous exercise won't cure!
Genius syd , no music like his

the song was called "Lets roll another one" when this was recorded.
I think it was called roll yet another one
no, lets roll another one is correct
Coldacre yes!! This is the true
@@jeffstewart9622 thats illiterate..

In my PF playlist with the final version. Thanks for the upload!
Well, this track is on the back side of my prized vinyl 7" copy of Arnold Layne. Amazing stuff, eh?
Martyn H jangly this
Is it this version or the commercial censored version ?
mercurialmagictrees wasn’t aware either track on this record are censored.
@@martynh5410 well maybe alternate version is more correct. I'm thinking about buying a UK single of this.
mercurialmagictrees Mines a UK single. I bought it when I lived in London before moving to America.

doesnt get any cooler than this
u know it !
Syd's influence on some Blur' songs
Thank you, my dear Floydfriend!!!
Kinda catchy Syd
The origin of goth shoegaze post punk ect..... the origin of all those who follow that s all
Can someone please turn the clock back for me
Was this recorded on an Atari?

i think this is live that’s why it sounds so bad

Ooh, don't touch me child
Please, you know you drive me wild
Please, you know I'm feeling frail
I think it’s don’t try to SPOIL the fun
And walk instead of fock (at least in this version)
@@obdeisibcirrus993 It could be, I personally don't hear the oy sound but I am from North America so Syd's accent could be different

Grrrrrreat!

sounds like this was taken from a worn acetate for this song.
I mean, it probably was.
Two lumps or one?
3 for me if u dont mind
Very catchy!
Where did that dislike come from?
Legend say that he sung this with LSD under his tongue
he did every thing on LSD
:D
Since when were they called 'THE' Pink Floyd? ffs
***** when Syd was still in the band, back then, they were " The Pink Floyd Sound" or "The Pink Floyd"
My apologies. I had this track on 'Piper at the gates of dawn' they weren't called 'THE' Pink Floyd then.
And what is a dum bass? ;)
