King Crimson -- Cat Food

[TheBlackAdder]

[1st Verse]
Lady Supermarket with an apple in her basket
Knocks on the manager's door
Grooning to the muzak from a speaker in the shoe rack
Lays out her goods on the floor
Everything she's chosen is conveniently frozen
“Eat it and come back for more!”

[Chorus]
No use to complain
If you're caught out in the rain
Your mother's quite insane
Cat food, cat food, cat food, again?

[2nd Verse]
Lady Window-Shopper with a new one in the hopper
Whips up a chemical brew
Croaking to a neighbor while she polishes a sabre
Knows how to flavor a stew
Never need to worry with a tin of 'Hurri Curri':
“Poisoned especially for you!”

[3rd Verse]
Lady Yellow-Stamper with a fillet in the hamper
Dying to finish the course
Goodies for the table with a fable on the label
Drowning in miracle sauce
Don't think I am that rude if I tell you that it's cat food
“Not even fit for a horse!”

[IbogaProject]

1. Fripp wanted Elton John to sing it

But Elton didn't do it. They were at the studio the same period that was recorded.

3. Kind of glad Elton John didn't do it, his voice does not match Crimson's style, although...he didn't do it, so we'll

never know.

[Escurumbele]

2. I am a big fan of King Crimson, have seen them three times, but never knew that Keith Emerson

had ever played with them...That is Keith Emerson on keyboards, right?
