Happy With What You Have To Be Happy With
from The Power to Believe by King Crimson (2003)

Although not entirely acting on it, The lyrics of this chorus create an infinitely looping sentence, which the song proceeds to use by breaking up the phrase “Happy With What You Have to Be Happy With” and starting it at various points. The length of these phrases seems to dictate the length of the bars, though some have more beats than there are syllables: 11/8, 11/8, 12/8, 11/8, 11/8, 11/8, 17/8. Another cool thing to note is the guitar stabs in the right side of the stereo field always hit on words that start with the letter H. After counting it out with eighth notes, a pattern emerges, though it starts to deviate towards the end:

3+2+3+2+2+3+2+3+2 | 2+3+2+3+2
3+2+3+2+2+3+2+3+2 | 2+3+2+3+2+3+2+3+3+2+3
