Van Der Graaf Generator - Squid 1/Squid 2/Octopus lyrics

Squid 1 I wish that you would set me free forever but the rings on my arms are too deeply burned..... Oh no no no no I can't let you go I can't let you go..... Squid 2 (instrumental) Octopus I want to paint you love poems full of fire, you who I do not know. Now my mind is tested with love which twists and wavers from side to side and which some day soon you may see... I want you to cascade through ten thousand rainbows with me and dredge mountains from the sea: you who I now begin to know. But emotion is pent up inside, too scared of dying again to live and meanwhile I must endure your red-copper hair screaming like a water-baby. Black eyes stare from my ceiling... you who I now truly know. Now I cannot see too clearly and already my trellis stands bare. How can I break free of these overclinging arms which entwine and enfold me and reach to the clear blue sea? I want you to know, but how can I tell you? I want you to see but my own eyes are blind. The Octopus now enfolds me, I know you too well....
