Knots (From “Excerpts From Octopus”) Songtext
von Gentle Giant

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.
