King's Lead Hat Lyrics

Lyric discussion by paranoid schizoid 

Cover art for King's Lead Hat lyrics by Brian Eno

I feel like this song heralds in the coming of science. The King's Lead hat. The idea is ridiculous, like most of our unecessary technology, but I don't feel like Eno condemns it. He's fascinated that the king wears a lead hat. The song seems to divide the album into its "before" and "after" Science parts too.
