King Crimson "The Letters"

With quill and silver knife
She carved a poison pen
Wrote to her lover's wife :

"Your husband's seed has fed my flesh"

As if a leper's face
That tainted letter graced
The wife with choke-stone throat
Ran to the day with tear-blind eyes

Impaled on nails of ice
And raked with emerald fire
The wife with soul of snow
With steady hands begins to write :

"I'm still, I need no life
To serve on boys and men
What's mine was yours is dead
I take my leave of mortal flesh"

King CRIMSON "Islands"

"Earth, stream and tree encircled by sea
Waves sweep the sand
From my island
My sunsets fade
Field and glade
Wait only for rain
Grain after grain
Love erodes my
High weathered walls
Which fend off the tide
Cradle the wind to my island

Gaunt granite climbs where gulls wheel and glide
Mournfully glide o'er my island
My dawn bride's veil
Damp and pale
Dissolves in the sun
Love's web is spun
Cats prowl, mice run
Wreathe snatch-hand briars
Where owls know my eyes
Violet skies
Touch my island
Touch me

Beneath the wind turned wave
Infinite peace
Islands join hands
'Neathe heaven's sea

Beneath the wind turned wave
Infinite peace
Islands join hands
'Neathe heaven's sea

Dark harbour quays like fingers of stone
Hungrily reach from my island
Clutch sailor's words
Pearls and gourds
Are strewn on my shore
Equal in love, bound in circles
Earth, stream and tree return to the sea
Waves sweep sand from my island
From me

Beneath the wind turned wave
Infinite peace
Islands join hands
'Neathe heaven's sea"

"Remember me when you're the one who's silver screened
Remember me when you're the one you always dreamed
Remember me when whenever noses start to bleed
Remember me special needs

Just 19 and sucker's dream
I guess I thought you had the flavour
Just 19 and dreams obscene
With six months off for bad behaviour

Remember me when you clinch your movie deal
Think of me stuck in my chair that has four wheels
Remember me through flash photography and screens
Remember me special dreams

Just 19 this sucker's dream
I guess I thought you had the flavour
Just 19 and dreams obscene
With six months off for bad behaviour
Just 19 and sucker's dream
I guess I thought you had the flavour
Just 19 and dreams obscene
With six months off for bad behaviour

Remember me...

Just 19 this sucker's dream
I guess I thought you had the flavour
Just 19 and dream obscene
With six months off for bad behaviour
Just 19 and sucker's dream
I guess I thought you had the flavour
Just 19 and dreams obscene
With six months off for bad behaviour

Remember me..."
