Matilda Mother

Pink Floyd

   
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
   
*: Oh mother, tell me more.
   
R: 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
   
2. 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
   
   
R: 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
   
3. 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....
