Biography

Initially a British psychedelic folk duo called [a=Tyrannosaurus Rex] fronted by guitarist/vocalist [a=Marc Bolan] (born Mark Feld) with [a=Steve Peregrin Took] (born Stephen Porter). They became glam rock pioneers and shortened their name to T. Rex in 1970. They had a series of top ten hits in the UK, including four number one singles. In America, the group only had one major hit - "Bang a Gong (Get It On)". They retained a following until Marc Bolan's death in 1977.

LYRICS

Your mama said, "clean out your head boy,
don't lay nothing on my child"
Your friends they said, "Your heads in a noose
boy lay some boogie on our minds"
And we stood like the rapids
and I was like a new born child
Your father said, "Clean out your head boy,
go and kick cans along the street"
Your father said "clean out your toes Rose
and go and lick some uncooked meat"
And we stood like the rapids
And I was like a new born child
Your mama said, "My babe is not free son,
but I'm loose about midnight"
Your father said, "Your sisters a groove boy,
what I said it just ain't right"
But then I stood like the rapids
And I was like a new born child
Won't you tell me why?
