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.

The Street & Babe Shadow Lyrics

T. Rex

Tiger tim the tightrope walker
Tried to steal the dragons daughter
O Babe
l do mean babe.

Menace lurks in houses only
Where the hearts are fat and bony
Babe
I do mean babe.

Golden risks and folly's rainbow
Down the drain where all the time goes
Babe
I do mean babe

Frozen joe the ballet boxer
Chromed his toes to get his rocks off
Babe
I do mean babe.

All the rats and all the peacocks
Built a ship and flew to venus
Babe
l do mean babe

Pain is meat and meat is people
Your head's a house your soul the steeple
Babe
I do mean babe

Painted toes and purple earlobes
Life's a gas but it's such a scene though
Babe
l do mean babe

l could t-tell you something
I could t-tell you something
Babe
I do mean babe
