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.

Chrome Sitar Lyrics

T. Rex

Standing on a corner
Of the chrome sitar
Everybody ask who the hell you are
Somebody scream and shout, somebody spoke
Somebody said that life is just a joke **
So come on, little girl
Won't you hold my hand
Come on, little girl
Don't you understand
Come on little girl, yea, yea
Love is grand, won't you hold my hand - tonight *
Princess outrage with deductable grave
Scream of her love but you know I was brave
Octoganic angel, measuring the stars
Trying to run away with a chrome sitar
*Repeat
**Repeat
*Repeat twice
