Lyric discussion by Brookey59 

Cover art for Exiles lyrics by King Crimson

I read a book called The Dispossessed by Ursula K. LeGuin around the time I first heard the song Exiles. My sister and I have been King Crimson fans from the beginning (haha). She first read the lyrics to me and I was blown away by the similarities to the book. Of course the song was composed long before this book came out. Ever since then, when I hear this song, I think of this great book.
