Islands


Your admirers on the street
Gotta hoot and stamp their feet
In the heat from your physique
As you twinkle by in moccasin sneakers


And I thought my heart would break
When you doubled up at the stake
With your fingers all a-shake
You could never tell a winner from a snake
(but you always make money)

Easy money

With your figure and your face
Strutting out at every race
Throw a glass around the place
Show the colour of your crimson suspenders


We could take the money home
Sit around the family throne
My old dog could chew his bone
For two weeks we could appease the Almighty

Easy money

Your admirers on the street
Gotta hoot and stamp their feet
In the heat from your physique
As you twinkle by in moccasin sneakers


Got no truck with the la-di-da
Keep my bread in an old fruit jar
Drive you out in a motor-car
Getting fat on your lucky star just making

Easy money

  2. Isto é do Album "Lark's Tongues In Aspic", de 1973, um 'alter' mal conhecido no Brasil, que eu e meus amigos curtíamos na adolescência (tardia, diga-se de passagem).
    Bom... continuamos curtindo!

    O título do post, 'Islands', é referência entrecruzada de outro album do mesmo King Crimson, talvez o melhor de todos.

    Eventualmente vou postar aqui.
