1.Baby Boomerrang

T. Rex
Slider
Baby Boomerrang
slim lined sheik faced
angel of the night
in the graveyard of the night
new york witch in the dungeon
of the day
i'm trying to write my novel
all you do is play

mice pie dog-eye
eagle on the wind
i'm searching through this garbage
looking for a friend
your uncle with an alligator
chained to his leg
dangles you your freedom
then he offers you his bed

it seems to me to dream
is something too wild
in max's kansas city
you a belladonna child
riding on the higways
on the gateways to the south
you're talking with your boots
and you're walking with your mouth

baby boomerang baby boomerang
you never spike a person
but you always bang the whole gang

thank you ma'am


2.Baby Strange

Baby Strange

in winds of passion my whip is lashing
i wanna get you and then

oooo you're strange
don't lame me baby strage
don't lame me baby

i ain't faking baby this is the end
i'm overloaded my head's exploded

3.Ballrooms Of Mars

T. Rex
Slider
Ballrooms Of Mars
you gonna look fine
be primed for dancing
you're gonna trip and glide
all on the trembling plane
your diamond hands
will be stacked with roses
and wind and cars
and people of the past

i'll call you thing
just when the moon sings
and place your face in stone
upon the hills of stars
and gripped in the arms
of the changeless madman
we'll dance our lives away
in the ballrooms of mars

you talk about day
i'm talking 'bout night time
when the monsters call out
the names of men
bob dylan knows
and i bet alan freed did
there are things in night
that better not to behold

you dance
with your lizard leather boots on
and pull the strings
that change the faces of men
you diamond browed hag
you're a gutter-gaunt gangster
john lennon knows your name
and i've seen his


4.Buick Mackane

Buick, Buick
Buick Mackane, will you?
Buick Mackane, will you
Be my girl, be my girl?

Rainy lady
Queen of the rock, will you?
Queen of the rock, will you
Help me roll, help me roll to my soul?

Slider, slider
You're just a sexual glider
You're just a sexual glider
Be my plane in the rain

Buick, Buick
Buick Mackane, will you?
Buick Mackane, will you
Be my girl, be my girl?

7.Metal Guru

Lyricist:Marc Bolan

Metal guru, is it you?
Metal guru, is it you?
Sitting there in your armour plated chair

All alone without a telephone

Metal guru could it be
You're gonna bring my baby to me
She'll be wild you know
A rock 'n' roll child

Just like a silver-studded sabre-tooth dream
I'll be clean you know
Pollution machine

She'll be wild you know
A rock 'n' roll child

Oh, baby, mystic lady
You do own my night
Put my dogs to fright
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, slidin', ridin' sorceress
In your dungaree

All the people in your life are cruel
Keep on ridin' that hard road
The lovers in you life are few
Keep on ridin' that hard road

Baby, baby, baby
Oh, baby, baby, baby
Pleasant, crescent moon
Fills my heart with pain
Fills my toes with rain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, Bobby you're a hobby

All the people in your life are cruel
Keep on ridin' that hard road
And lovers in you life are few
Keep on ridin' that hard road

9.Rabbit Fighter

Lyricist:Marc Bolan

Shady politician in my bed
Tying bolts of lightning to his head

Call me Rabbit Fighter, you know it's true
Oh babe, I'll rabbit fight all over you

Tramp king of the city, he's my friend
Moondog's just a prophet to the end

Call me Rabbit Fighter, you know it's true
Oh babe, I'll rabbit fight all over you

Call me Rabbit Fighter, you know it's true
Oh babe, I'll rabbit fight all over you, yes, I will

I saw a dude unscrewed and badly burned
Laughing 'cause he'd gotten what he earned, yes he did

Call me Rabbit Fighter, you know it's true
Oh babe, I'll rabbit fight all over you

Call me Rabbit Fighter
Call me Rabbit Fighter
Oh oh, Jo Jo, don't you know?

Call me Rabbit Fighter
Call me Rabbit Fighter
Oh oh, Jo Jo, don't you know?

10.Rock On

Lyricist:Marc Bolan

I've been down there
Everybody's been there
Everyone, everyone

Desolation angel
On the cover of my paper
Loves everyone everyone

Rock on, rock on

Mild mouthed Rita
She's a Chevy chase cheetah
Loves everyone, everyone

Teddy's going steady
He's a silver plated poet
Loves everyone everyone

Prophet pumped the car scar
Deeper only sweeter
Loves everyone


11.Spaceball Ricochet

Lyricist:Marc Bolan

I'm just a man, I understand the wind
And all the things that make the children cry
With my Les Paul, I know I'm small
But I enjoy living anyway

Book after book I get hooked
Every time the writer talks to me like a friend
What can I do, we just live in a zoo
All I do is play the spaceball ricochet

Deep in my heart there's a house
That can hold just about all of you
I bought a car it was old but kind
I gave it my mind and it disappeared

I love a girl, she is a changeless angel
She's a city, it's a pity that I'm like me, yeah
I said how can I lay when all I do is play
The spaceball ricochet

I'm just a man, I understand the wind
And all the things that make the children cry
With my Les Paul, I know I'm small
But I enjoy living anyway, yes I do

Deep in my heart there's a house
That can hold just about all of you
How can I lay when all I do is play the spaceball ricochet
Oh baby, the spaceball ricochet
Oh mama, the spaceball

Do the spaceball
Do the spaceball
Do the spaceball
Do the spaceball


12.Telegram Sam

Lyricist:Marc Bolan

Ooh, oh, man, ooh

Golden nose slim, golden nose slim
I know's where you been, oh
Purple Pie Pete, Purple Pie Pete
You're lips are like lightning, girls melt in the heat, yeah

Telegram Sam, you're my main man
Telegram Sam, you're my main man
Oh, ooh

He's a natural born poet, he's just outta sight
Jungle faced Jake, jungle faced Jake
I say, make no mistake about jungle faced Jake, Jake

Telegram Sam, you're my main man
Telegram Sam, you're my main man
Ooh, Samson and Christoph, what a pair!

Bobby's alright, Bobby's alright
He's a natural born poet, he's just outta sight
Automatic shoes, automatic shoes
Give me 3D-vision and the California blues
And me, I funk but I don't care
I ain't no square with my corkscrew hair

Telegram Sam, you're my main man
Telegram Sam, you're my main man
Telegram Sam, you're my main man
Oh, do, do, do, do, do, do, ohh

13.The Slider

Lyricist:Marc Bolan

I could never understand the wind at all
Was like a ball of love
I could never, never see the cosmic sea
Was like a bumblebee

And when I'm sad, I slide

I have never, never kissed a car before
It's like a door
I have always, always grown my own before
All schools are strange

And when I'm sad, I slide
Oh slide

And when I'm sad, I slide

I have never, never nailed a nose before
That's how the garden grows
I could never understand the wind at all
Was like a ball of love

And when I'm sad, I slide

Oh watch now I'm gonna slide


14.Baby Boomerang

Lyricist:Marc Bolan

Slim lined sheik faced angel of the night
Riding like a cowboys in the graveyard of the night
New York witch in the dungeon of the day
I'm trying to write my novel but all you do is play

Baby Boomerang, baby Boomerang
Well, you never spike a person
But you always bang the whole gang
Thank you ma'am

Mince pie dog-eyed eagle on the wind
You're searching through this garbage looking for a friend
Your uncle with an alligator chained to his leg
Dangles your freedom then he offers you his bed

Baby Boomerang, baby Boomerang
Well, you never spike a person
But you always bang the whole gang
Thank you ma'am

It seem to me, to dream is something too wild
In Max's Kansas City, you a belladonna child
Riding on the highways, on the gateway to the south
You're talking with your boots and you're walking with your
mouth

Baby Boomerang, baby Boomerang
Well, you never spike a person
But you always bang the whole gang

Baby Boomerang, baby Boomerang
Well, you never spike a person
But you always bang the whole gang
Thank you ma'am, yeah
