Syd Barrett - Matilda Mother (2010 Remix) lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Hook] Oh Mother, tell me more [Bridge] Why'd 'ya have to leave me there Hanging in my infant air Waiting? You only have to read the lines They're scribbly black and everything shines [Verse 2] The chief defect of Henry King Was chewing little bits of string At last he swallowed some which tied Itself in ugly knots inside Wandering and dreaming The words have different meaning Yes they did [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] In finding she was left alone Went tiptoe to the telephone, 999 And summoned the immediate aid Of London's Noble Fire Brigade [Verse 4] 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 [Hook] Oh Mother, tell me more
Tell me more [Outro] Aaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaah Aaaaaaaah
