For those of us who follow Robyn's work, this might be the motherlode.

[@stringlarson1247]

Heh. One of many. This one pops into my head when walking to the station.

I've been a fan of Robyn's since the late 80s. I think 86 when I first heard Globe of Frogs. I've seen him multiple times live over those years. He is one of my top favorite and always entertaining with his quirky stories and equally quirky lyrics. He deserves more recognition than he gets.

[@thomasminarchickjr.7355]

You sure can hear Syd echoing in there. ❤️

[@YourNameHere2015]

I do believe that this is the greatest song ever. There in the buffet car ... I wait for eternity

[@cre8lite11]

Ya !

[@marcfedak]

Robin Hitchcock does a great job capturing the Mad Cap Laughs" era Syd Barrett sound. His voice sounds like Syd's as well.

[@etamommy]

but Robyn has produced many many more classics I'd say, unfortunately due to Syd Barrett's circumstances.

[@craigandhisguineapig4688]

I was thinking the same exact thing! This came up on Spotify and I thought it was one of Syd's songs.

[@vivien6160]

Totally!!!

[@fuzzydunlop4513]

album is massively underrated

[@Lee.Carlson]

Not by me

[@nivekvb]

One of my favourites! Haunting, enchanted, and magical.

[@cre8lite11]

Ya!

I'm waiting at Mortimer station - next train from platform 1 goes to Basingstoke, next train from platform 2 goes to Reading... So that's why I'm here! 😉

[@myquealer]

I'm loving all the old videos that have gone up recently

[@nivekvb]

I don't think any other artist has had such a big effect on me. Beautiful chords in this!

[@markboyd9275]

This & “…Lightbulb Head” vids on one of those late night mtv shows blew my teenage mind. A week later I found the Black Snake Diamond Röle record in the cut out bin at the mall. Not exaggerating, this was life-changing stuff. Thanks

[@jackg9581]

Guitar magic and ethereal lyrics = 😁

[@hoffnerburns]

I saw Robyn Hitchcock on a train once. Well, the Tube. He was wearing a spotty shirt, hiding behind a newspaper. My friend’s group were opening for him later that week, but I didn’t say anything. He was reading his paper.

[@Phooey-tv5tg]

I actually saw Robyn on a SW train just outside Basingstoke a few years back, when he came into my carriage. Couldn’t believe it! A blissful moment.

[@zackspaulding]

His best ever song🎵 ❤️

[@sadymaher44]

I love this Album .

[@matthewharper7333]

Could have been on Piper at the Gates of Dawn. Man, I hope he comes to Atlanta soon.

[@mikeyratcliff3400]

As above so below, blyth power, eastfield, the mob, intrinsic to our souls trains are far more than a passion, bought this album when it came out, stayed with me eversince, thank you...xxx

[@kentborges5114]

INCREDIBLE !

[@stefanoforcellini4875]

[@karinannamaria2514]

I hear both Television (guitars) and Syd B (song) in this

[@keithravenscroft7873]

So good to hear this again... brings back fond memories. How's Mushy (Mrs Wafflehead) Hope she's still around....

[@adriancoode1053]

Has nice black and white shirts, why not. Monochrome good when "Tripping' on Shroom Tea😮

[@neillaika]

Muuito muito bom

[@FifiKitty]

Did this video really only cost 200 pounds? Greatest song ever.

[@zackspaulding]

More like a fiver!!

[@FifiKitty]

@@zackspaulding Ha ha ha

[@davidmosey6634]

…. or Basingstoke or Reading

[@wombatski100]

very Syd Barrett

[@glynnwadeson5605]

Basingstoke, not ‘blazing stone’...

[@sinistar99]

You've never been to Blazing Stone? It's near Breading.

Where's Oscar?
