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.

Casual Agent Lyrics

T. Rex

Oh I wanna be your casual agent
I wanna be your casual agent *
Casual agent moving by the sand
Cosmetic Betty stealing from the skull
Madonna dollar destroyed by the holy roof
I know to move my child to switch
Without your tooth
*Repeat
Distorted contortionist barely
Saved his cool
As he rubberised Hannah by the 'lectric school
With the planetary pearl
And the magnetic fool who were
Both told and rolled to look alike
And welded to a stool
*Repeat
Wind of illusion came darkly down my street
Lead were my eyelids, demented were my feet
And the two faced detector from the
Malibu beach, dejected like Delilah she
Sucked upon my perch
*Repeat
All night worker for the missionary stand
I seldom drip glue, in the video grand
Tiger tongued tinse, see the old queens
Of the night, were stone cold stiletto-toed
Stone mama's alright
*Repeat x4
