The strangest love song I've ever heard, and certainly one of my five favorite songs... Talking to the sea as if it was his lover, and in such words ! ("your madness fits in nicely with my own", how beautiful and weird to say it to the one you love...)
When I heard those lyrics, I couldn't help thinking of a French author from the end of the 19th century called Lautréamont and his haunting and terrifying masterpiece "Les Chants de Maldoror". Has anyone ever read this book ?
The problem with Wyatt's songs is that it's impossible to put by words the vocal arrangements on them, especially Wyatt's "solos" (Coltrane had his sax, Wyatt has his alien voice...)

@The Dog That Ate... Thanks for the book you mentioned The problem? I got what you meant, but calling it a "problem"?
