The Story Of The Mother - Stephin Merritt[00:00:00]

"Although my child has died " the mother said[00:00:08]

"that doesn't make him permanently dead [00:00:13]

I must petition Death for his return "[00:00:19]

She made her way into the lands below [00:00:28]

There was a rosebush there [00:00:34]

Where things don't grow [00:00:37]

It said "You want your child [00:00:40]

Give me your blood "[00:00:43]

And on a thorn her flesh was torn [00:00:45]

That's how rosebu she's grow down there [00:00:49]

So then she met this great big centipede[00:00:55]

Who wanted something from her [00:01:01]

It decreed: "You want to hold your child [00:01:04]

Give me your arms "[00:01:10]

In lands beneath they grow strange teeth[00:01:12]

To tear your flesh more painfully [00:01:17]

But on she staggered and stumbled [00:01:23]

For her baby's sake[00:01:26]

And found herself beside a talking lake:[00:01:29]

"You want to see your child [00:01:36]

Give me your eyes "[00:01:39]

Which turned to pearls and sank[00:01:41]

In swirls into liquid oblivion [00:01:44]

In the form of a spider [00:01:54]

Death hung there beside her and kissed her[00:01:57]

And made her his wife[00:02:02]
