Gentle Giant - Knots

From the album Octopus (1972):

Lyrics

Knots

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.

To everyone who asked me for the entire footage:

I've not been using my account for a long time, so I couldn't write before.

A friend of mine shared this part of the footage

with me, but I still don't have the rest.

It's from an old italian tv show and if I'll manage to get the entire video I'll share it on youtube.

One of the first RIO songs, in my opinion.

@mestredigital2 no he had already left the band after the octopus album sometime around late 1972.I am pretty sure this is from 1973 or 74 in italy.

@SamuelLJacksonsFish

Try reading 'Knots' by R.D Laing - a book full of mental back and forth.

[Interst890]

gentle giant is like yes combined with jethro tull and a barbershop quartet

[W78516]

Knots of confusion in the brain. Supposed to be maybe? Brain talk
