Three of a Perfect Pair
King Crimson - Three of a Perfect Pair (1984)
Last updated: 5.3.2026


She is susceptible
He is impossible
They have their cross to share
Three of a perfect pair

He has his contradicting views
She has her cyclothymic moods
They make a study in despair
Three of a perfect pair

One, one too many schizophrenic tendencies
Keeps it complicated (Complicated)
Keeps it aggravated (Aggravated)
And full of this hopelessness
What a perfect mess

He has his contradicting views
She has her cyclothymic moods
They make a study in despair
Three of a perfect pair

One, one too many schizophrenic tendencies
Keeps it complicated (Complicated)
Keeps it so aggravated (Aggravated)
And full of this hopelessness
Oh, what a perfect mess

One, one too many schizophrenic tendencies
Keeps it complicated
Keeps it aggravated
Full of this hopelessness
Oh, what a perfect mess
One, one too many schizophrenic tendencies
Keeps it complicated (Complicated)
Keeps it so aggravated (Aggravated)
And full of this hopelessness
Oh, what a perfect mess

A friend recently put me onto King Crimson with their 1981 album Discipline, and while I like that more than Three of a Perfect Pair I do think it's very vibey. Plus on the song Industry off this album, listen at the 2:30 mark and try to tell me that doesn't sound like the spin dash sound effect from Sonic!!
