Matilda Mother

(Barrett)
  1. Rhamadam (1965-69)

  2. Outtakes From Outer Space (1965-70)

    There was a king who ruled the land.
    His majesty was in command.
    With silver eyes the scarlet eagle
    Showers silver on the people.
    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
    They're scribbly black and everything shines.

    Across the stream with wooden shoes
    With bells to tell the king the news
    A thousand misty riders climb up
    Higher once upon a time.

    Wandering and dreaming
    The words have different meaning.
    Yes they did.

    For all the time spent in that room
    The doll's house, darkness, old perfume
    And fairy sories held me high on
    Clouds of sunlight floating by.
    Oh Mother, tell me more
    Tell me more.
    Aaaaaaaah
    Aaaaaaaah
    Aaaaaaaah


  3. The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967)

    There was a king who ruled the land.
    His majesty was in command.
    With silver eyes the scarlet eagle
    Showers silver on the people.
    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
    They're scribbly black and everything shines.
    Across the stream with wooden shoes
    With bells to tell the king the news
    A thousand misty riders climb up
    Higher once upon a time.
    Wandering and dreaming
    The words have different meaning.
    Yes they did.
    For all the time spent in that room
    The doll's house, darkness, old perfume
    And fairy sories held me high on
    Clouds of sunlight floating by.
    Oh Mother, tell me more
    Tell me more.
    Aaaaaaaah
    Aaaaaaaah
    Aaaaaaaah
