Help The Poor
King Crimson · Other Songs - King Crimson
Won't you help poor me
I need help from you baby
Need it desperately
I need you so much
I need your care
Need all the loving baby you can spare
Help the poor
Oh, baby won't you help poor me
Say you will
Say you'll help me on
I can't make it no longer
In this world alone
Baby i'm beggin' with tears in my eyes
For your love don't you realize
I need help
Oh baby help poor me
You are my inspiration
Baby that's makes be a king
But if you don't come to my rescue
I couldn't ever be anything
Help the poor
Won't you help poor me
Have a heart won't you baby
Listen to my plead
Oh i lost my courage till i found you
You got what it takes baby
To pull me through
Help the poor
Oh baby won't you help poor me
You are my inspiration
Baby that's makes be a king
But if you don't come to my rescue
I couldn't ever be anything
Help the poor
Won't you help poor me
Have a heart won't you baby
Listen to my plead
Oh i lost my courage till i found you
You got what it takes baby
To pull me through
Help the poor
Oh baby won't you help poor me
Help The Poor - King Crimson

The track exemplifies the band's signature fusion of complex jazz harmonies, intricate instrumental interplay, and a driving rhythmic foundation. While often associated with the broader progressive rock movement of the 1970s, the song reflects the specific sonic palette developed by guitarist Michael Giles and the ensemble's collaborative approach to composition. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to blend technical proficiency with an atmospheric mood that characterizes many of the band's lesser-known but musically significant works. The recording captures a moment in the group's evolution, showcasing their commitment to pushing the boundaries of rock instrumentation and structure.
