Gentle Giant - Knots & Octopus Features - Live 1974

Knots is the fourth track from their 1972 album Octopus

The Lyrics:

All in all each man in all men
All men in each man.
He can see she can't, she can see
she can
see whatever, whatever.
You may know what I don't know,
but not that
I don't know it and I can't tell you
so you will.
To tell me all man in all men
All men in each man.
He can see she can't, she can see
she can
see whatever, whatever.
You may know what I don't know,
but not that
I don't know it and I can't tell you
so you will have to tell me all.
It hurts him to think that she is
hurting her by him being hurt to think
that she thinks he is hurt by making her
feel guilty at hurting him by her thinking
she wants him to want her. Her wants
her to
want him to get him to want him to get
him to want her she pretends.
He tries to make her afraid by not
being afraid. (permutations)
You may know what I don't know, but not
that I don't know it and I can't
tell you so you will have to tell
me all.
I get what I deserve. I deserve what I
get. I have it so I deserve it. I deserve
it for I have it. I get what I deserve.
What I deserve - what I deserve what
I get.
I have it so I deserve.
He tries to make her afraid by not
being afraid.

In a short anme Gentle Giant



[ReasonsToLive]

Indeed, they were my favorite proggers in the 70s - Caught a show in NYC (Alice Tully Hall) in 1977. Loved hearing music students whistling GG melodies in 7/8 to each other as we filled in. So thrilling to watch them hop around, swapping instruments with virtuosity, and yet always knowing how rock the back row when the time came. And then, not 3 years later, at the Palladium, there they are playing boring rock songs in 4/4 as if they were Slade! The page had turned. It was over soon after that.

I saw this band twice and I wish they would get together so I could see them again. They were incredible!

Quite possibly my very first religious experience (or sexual, I know not which....maybe both) was the first time I saw these guys play live opening for Jethro Tull. After the concert, it was the Giant I and my merry band of musicians were seeking for musical discussion. Of course, the only comments that could come from our lips were like.......duh, aghhhh, errrr, and other nonsense. We felt like we'd been taken to school and shown how to do it!

Endorsed by Zappa.

That is all you need to know. 

[Liton777]

The 60's-70's was literally like the renaissance times 100, and many people don't notice it because they didn't see the before and after.
