INDOOR GAMES
(Fripp / Sinfield)

Indoor fireworks amuse your kitchen staff
Dusting plastic garlic plants
They snigger in the draught
When you ride through the parlour
Wearing nothing but your armour -
Playing Indoor Games.

One string puppet shows amuse
Your sycophantic friends
Who cheer your rancid recipes
In fear they might offend,
Whilst you loaf on your sofa
Sporting falsies and a toga -
Playing Indoor Games, Indoor Games.

Your mean teetotum spins arouse your seventh wife
Who pats her sixty little skins
And reinsures your life,
Whilst you sulk in your sauna
’Cos you lost your jig-saw corner -
Playing Indoor Games, Indoor Games.

Each afternoon you train baboons to sing
Or swim in purple perspex water wings.
Come Saturday jump chopper, chelsea brigade,
High bender-trender it's all Indoor Games.

No-ball bagatelle incites
Your children to conspire.
They slide across your frying pan
And fertilise your fire;
Still you and Jones go madder
Broken bones - broken ladder -
Hey Ho...

The Steve Wilson remix is a trip. The horns come at you from different speakers around the room. This is definitely a complicated arrangement and well deserving of the 5.1 surround mix.

Curious that this song ends with a "Hey Ho" and then begins Happy Family (a song about The Beatles) just like The Continuing History Of Bungallow Bill ends with a "Hey Ho" before While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

King Crimson... so light and humorous as always!

I have first listened to this Album on vinyl around 16 years old. The machine spinned gently slower than it should what pitched the record a bit and it felt a whole lot darker and intense.

I missed the original KC lineup when they toured the US in '69 due to headliner Jefferson Airplane canceling the gig. Their equipment truck driver was arrested in New York on the way to Detroit. The only other concert I missed and regretted for years was when Yes opened for ELP in 1971. My friends raved about the show for days after seeing it.
But I did see KC the next time they toured for this album. I'll never forget Mel Collins rocking his mellotron back and forth while thrusting his sax in the air during Cirkus. That opening blast of mellotron brass sounds literally shook the walls of the auditorium.

Every time I start my washing machine, it makes a sound like that little ascending flourish at 0:02, and I get this song stuck in my head all day...

Sulk In Your Sauna 'Cus You've Lost Your Jigsaw : - Next level lyric-writing poetry. 53 now, and from finding Crimson when 18 or 19 (can't exactly remember, some high-end hash floating round England in the late 80s/v.early 90's!) = One of my fave lines ever in *any* song. Love the bit when he cracks up too : - And the vague annoyance from the other guys that he'd "ruined" a take??. Not So Monsouir (fits perfectly?!).

Andy McCulloch, the best drummer Fripp ever had. The Giles style on steroids.

Fripp mic'ed from bathroom = best Fripp 3:11

Never failed to make me and my prog geek friends laugh like the vocals at the end. And then there was the end...

MrDoctorMabuse

Stewie Griffin's best vocal work ever

Big music, as always. And I still remember how beautiful was the LP . It was a very beautiful time for the music, in every detail !

Any fan of this should also get a hold of Van Der Graaf Generator’s albums from the same time frame (H To He..., Pawn Hearts) which also have Fripp guesting.

Sinfield dusted off his pen and fertilized his fire 🔥 on this piece.

My first lp of theirs. I met Robert in Dallas 1979 at Peach's record store. Then again south of L.A. 1993 with the League of Gentlemen. John Wetton (RIP) was watching at the sametime. It was 1993's first Progfest.
