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.

Spaceball Ricochet Lyrics

T. Rex

i'm just a man
i understand the wind
and all the things
that make the children cry
with my les paul
i know i'm small
but i enjoy living
anyway
book after book
i get hooked
everytime the writer
talks to me like a friend
what can i do
we just live in a zoo
all i do is play
the spaceball ricochet
deep in my heart
there's a house
that can hold
almost all of you
i brought a car
it was old but kind
i gave it my mind
and it disappeared
i love a girl
she is a changeless angel
she's a city it's a pity
that i'm like me
i said how can i lay
when all i do is play
the spaceball ricochet
