King Crimson - Cirkus (Including “Entry Of The Chameleons“)

Full Album Playlist: CIRKUS including Entry of the Chameleons (Fripp / Sinfield) Night: her sable dome scattered with diamonds, Fused my dust from a light year, Squeezed me to her breast, sowed me with carbon, Strung my warp across time. Gave me each a horse, sunrise and graveyard, Told me only I was her; Bid me face the east closed me in questions Built the sky for my dawn... Cleaned my feet of mud, followed the empty Zebra ride to the Cirkus, Past a painted cage, spoke to the paybox Glove which wrote on my tongue— Pushed me down a slide to the arena, Megaphonium fanfare. In his cloak of words strode the ringmaster Bid me join the parade... “Worship!” cried the clown, “I am a TV. Making bandsmen go clockwork, See the slinky seal Cirkus policeman; Bareback ladies have fish.” Strongmen by his feet, plate-spinning statesman, Acrobatically juggling— Bids his tamers go quiet the tumblers Lest the mirror stop turning... Elephants forgot, force-fed on stale chalk, Ate the floors of their cages. Strongmen lost their hair, paybox collapsed and Lions sharpened their teeth. Gloves raced round the ring, stallions stampeded Pandemonium seesaw... I ran for the door, ringmasters shouted, “All the fun of the Cirkus!” - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Robert Fripp: Guitar, Mellotron, Electric Keyboards and Devices Mel Collins: Flute & Saxes Gordon Haskell: Bass Guitar & Vocals Andy McCulloch: Drums Peter Sinfield: Words & Pictures with Robin Miller: Oboe & Cor Anglais Mark Charig: Cornet Nick Evans: Trombone Keith Tippet: Piano & Electric Piano Jon Anderson of YES: Vocals on ‘Prince Rupert Awakes’ Engineer: Robin Thompson Tapes: Geoff Workman Studio: Wessex Sound, London Sleeve Conception: Peter Sinfield Outside Painting: Gini Barris Inside Marbling: Koraz Wallpapers #KingCrimson #RobertFripp #Lizard
