Pink Floyd/Hawkwind -- "Heckty Skies"
With much fanfare, there was an announcement in late 2001 of a newly discovered track, "unknown to the Barrett world. It is rumored to have been recorded in late '67 or early '68 at the BBC Sound Workshop. With lyrics like "couch my disease and chinse covered kisses, glazed calico cloak my costume misses" this is a definite [must] for all Barrett and Floyd collectors. The lyrics are a rewrite of Hilaire Belloc's 'Ballade to Our Lady of Czestochowa.'"
Perhaps somebody got the idea into their head by misinterpreting the lyrics. They seemed to think the first four lines went, "Guttle of white insanity/Counting dread in some vanity/This is hardly paradise/We're off in search of Heckty Skies." The last two words are actually "petty scorn," and there will be no shortage of that.
I'd never before heard this attributed to Syd, but a day or two later I was told in a private email, "The 'Chinese Kisses' track did the rounds a few years ago. It was labeled as a PF '67 BBC Radiophonic Workshop recording and/or some Syd collaboration with some Hawkwind members?? It sounds NOTHING like Syd, and PF did not record anything at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. This is confirmed by David Parker's research in Random Precision."
A moot point. It's Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel. The song is "Ritz," and the album is The Psychomodo, released in 1974. Their finest, and "Ritz" is arguably the best song on it. (Hawkwind's debut was recorded in 1969, by the way. None of them had done anything to warrant a BBC session in late '67, and none is on record.)
If anyone had asked, we could have crushed this one years ago. As it was, we made certain inquiries. Steve Harley was amused. He confirmed what we already knew: the song has no connection with Syd Barrett. It has even less to do with Belloc, except in somebody's fantasy world. And for the record, the correct lyric is as follows: "Couch my disease in chintz covered kisses/Glazed calico cloth, my costume this is/Come to Pablo Fanque's In Indigo/And we'll show you pastel shades of rhyme."
It was soon announced: "We had doubts if the track was a real Barrett track. We were very hesitant about putting it on our collection. At least we know now, thanks to the Laughing Madcaps group that is not Syd Barrett and we thank you for that."
