page 3  Although Syd Barrett doesn't often write about how he feels, his "loneliness in company" is evident in more than one song. "Late Night":  Inside me I feel alone and unreal And the way you kiss will always be a very special thing to me  "Dark Globe":  When I was alone you promised the stone from your heart  "I Never Lied To You":  When I'm with you, to be with you, to be alone, can only think: "Why I am here? What's meant to be?"  In each of these three songs he simply addresses someone, but look at the differences: in the first song the mood is quite playful, but because loneliness is usually sad, the line about the way to kiss may sound like a "changeable duality", between his loneliness and the strange, whimsically funny mood of "Late Night"; "Dark Globe" is probably the saddest of the songs, but the last line in "I Never Lied To You" turns the playful mood more desperate, with the appearance of his "to be here or not to be here" dilemma.
