King Crimson -Lizard

Robert Fripp e os King Crimson, uma das minha paixões. Este álbum encerra um segredo para quem gosta dos Beatles. Uma das músicas tem o título "Happy Family" e é sobre o fim dos Beatles, a letra fala de um "judas" (Paul), "Rufus" (Ringo), "Silas" (George) e  "Jonah" (John),  a canção tem no início algo retirado de "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", inclusive a linha de baixo é idêntica. Voltando à letra,  Paul novamente como "Jude so sweet", um olhar mais atento descobre um submarino no mar, quase amarelo, e tem uma referência a "Sgt. Peppers" em "...Their Sergeant Mirror".

Entretanto vejam bem a capa, o desenho à volta do "i" de Crimson, claro que são os Beatles e Yoko, um olhar mais atento descobre um submarino, quase amarelo, no mar...

Recentemente saíu uma versão em alta-definição (DVD-A).

"Happy Family"

Happy family, one hand clap, four went by and
None come back.
Brother judas, ash and sack, swallowed aphrodisiac.
Rufus, silas, jonah too sang, we’ll blow our own
Canoes,
Poked a finger in the zoo, punctured all the ballyhoo

Whipped the world and beat the clock, wound up
With their share of stock.
Silver rolls from golden rock, shaken by a knock,
Knock, knock.
Happy family, wave that grin, what goes round
Must surely spin;
Cheesecake, mousetrap, grip-pipe-thynne cried out,
We’re not rin tin tin.

Uncle rufus grew his nose, threw away his circus
Clothes
Cousin silas grew a beard, drew another flask of
Weird
Nasty jonah grew a wife, judas drew his pruning
Knife.
Happy family one hand clap, four went on but none
Came back

Happy family, pale applause, each to his revolving
Doors.
Silas searching, rufus neat, jonah caustic, jude
So sweet.
Let their sergeant mirror spin if we lose the barbers
Win;
Happy family one hand clap, four went on but none
Came back
