Matilda Mother (Alternative Version)
Pink Floyd
As heard from the 2007 3-CD set of the 40th Anniversary edition
of The Piper at the Gates of Dawn.
There was a boy whose name was Jim
His friends they were very good to him
They gave him tea and cakes and jam
And slices of delicious ham
Oh mother, tell me more.
Why'd ya have to leave me there
Hanging in my infant air
Waiting
You only have to read the lines
of scribbly black and ev'rything
Shines
The Chief Defect of Henry King
Chewing little bits of string
At last he swallowed, some which tied
Itself in ugly knots inside
Wondering and dreaming
the words have different meanings
Yes they did
F# for solo
When finding she was left alone
When tiptoe gives the telephone
Nine Nine Nine
Some got the immediate aid
Of London's Noble Choir Brigade
For all the time spent in that room
The doll's house darkness old perfume
And fairy stories held me high
On clouds of sunlight floating by
Oh mother, tell me more.
Tell Me More....
E until end
