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.

Groove A Little Lyrics

T. Rex

Marc Bolan - guitar and vocal
Dino Dines - keyboards and synthesizer
Herbie Flowers- bass
Tony Newman- drums
To groove is to lubricate your imagination
You can call somebody captain
Under pressure you can flip
You can be a rock commando
But you can't pilot the ship
Groove a little baby, groove a little now
Groove a little baby, you might know
what you want
But I'll show you how *
You can trip the light fantastic
Become a space grotesque
You can fossilize your thought dreams
Behind a rusty desk
* Repeat
You might know what you want
But I'll show you how
You can read the works of Shakespeare
In the Academy of Life
You can punk the skunks of freedom
With you jeweled Etruscan knife
* Repeat twice
