Pink Floyd
Matilda Mother (2010 Remix)
[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 of
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Hook]
Wandering and dreaming
The words have different meanings
Yes they did
[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
