Initially a British folk-rockcombo called Tyrannosaurus Rex, T. Rex was a primary force in glam rock, thanks to the creative direction of guitarist/vocalist Marc Bolan(born Mark Feld). Bolan created a deliberately trashy form of rock and rollthat was proud of its own disposability. T. Rex's music borrowed the underlying sexuality of early rock & roll, adding dirty, simple grooves and fat distorted guitars, as well as an overarching folky/hippie spirituality that always came through the clearest on ballads.

Carsmile Smith & The Old One Lyrics

T. Rex

Carsmile Smith, he's the old one
Don't you know, that he's a good one?
don't cha, don't chat?
(2 X)

Bessie stood by the side of the grave
like a woman of love in her due
she hung her hands into another grief
for a man she never new

Carsmile Smith, he's the old one
Don't you know, that he's the good one?
don't cha, don't chat?
(2 X)

Bessie stood by the side of the grave
like a woman of love in her due
she hung her hands into another grief
for a man she never new

(long horns part and guitar solo)

don't cha, don't cha?
(more guitar soloing)
don't cha, don't cha, don't cha, don't cha?
(more guitar soloing)
