Re: vocals on Mathilda Mother

here are the lyrics to Matilda Mother. i put Syd's solo parts in bold text, Rick's solo parts are in regular text, and when Syd/Rick/etc. sing together its in italic text. i THINK its all correct, but if anyone thinks differently, please input, because i dont have my copy of 'Piper...' handy.
---------------------------
There was a king
who ruled the land
His majesty
was in command
With silver eyes the scarlet eagle
Showered silver on the people

Oh Mother tell me more

Why'd you have to leave me there
Hanging in my infant air
, waiting!!!
You only have to read the lines of
Scribbly black and everything
shines!!!

Across the stream with wooden shoes
Bells to tell the King the news
A thousand misty riders
Climb up higher once upon a time

Wondering and dreaming
The words have different meanings
Yes they did...


For all the time spent in that room
The doll's house darkness old perfume
And fairy stories held me high up
On clouds of sunlight floating by


Oh Mother tell me more
Tell me more...
