Robert Wyatt - Cuckoo Madame lyrics

Cuckoo Madame with your teddy bear eye, yellow fingers clinging to the chain link fence. Bombers above you. Bombers behind you. Disapproval hounds you, ugly rumour surrounds you. Solitary madam, we never understood, you never told us of your battle with the cuckoo baby blues. Cuckoo Madame, it's no wonder you're shy. You're Greta Garbo, you're the witch of Salem. You're anti-social, and you are too bloody lonely for the likes of us. We never knew of your battle with the cuckoo baby blues. When you saw that egg crack it froze your blood. You knew you had to fly then, had to say goodbye, had to fly before you saw another mother feed your chick. You knew it would break your heart. You knew it would break your heart.
