One word. Acid.
Very funny. This is not some acid-induced randomness. (Robert Fripp has a very strict no-drugs policy.) My understanding is this song is about (and I use 'about' very loosely here) "A Lloyd's insurance syndicate which suffered catastrophic losses for 1989, 1990 and 1991 resulting from Hurricane Hugo, Exxon Valdez and Phillips Petroleum" (quote: Fripp) and the effect it had on those who had signed liability agreements with the company. Notice how this piece of music has an endless descending quality about it.
You can now imagine the words "marine," "motor," "aviation" followed by numbers, to be telephone extensions for different departments in the company.
That's freaking amazing. Wow.
