(M. Bolan)
Beneath the bebop moon
I want to croon
With you
Beneath the mambo sun
I got to be the one with you
With you, ooh
With you, ooh
With you
My life's a shadowless horse
If I can't get across
To you
In the alligator rain
My heart's all pain
For you, ooh
For you, ooh
For you
Girl you're good
And I've got wild knees
For you
On a mountain range
I'm Dr. Strange
For you, ooh
For you, ooh
For you.
Upon a savage lake
Make no mistake
I love you
I got a powder-keg leg
And my wig's all pooped
For you, ooh
For you, ooh
For you
With my hat in my hand
I'm a hungry man
For you
I got stars in my beard
And I feel real weird
For you, ooh
For you, ooh
For you
Beneath the bebop moon
I'm howling like a loon
For you
Beneath the mambo sun
I've got to be the one
For you, ooh
For you, ooh
For you (oh, take me).
Cosmic Dancer.
(M. Bolan)
I was dancing when I was twelve
I was dancing when I was twelve
I was dancing when I was out
I was dancing when I was out
I danced myself out of the womb
I danced myself out of the womb
Is it strange to dance so soon?
I danced myself right out the womb
I was dancing when I was eight
I was dancing when I was eight
Is it strange to dance so late?
Is it strange to dance so late?
Ah, ah.
I danced myself into the tomb
I danced myself into the tomb
Is it strange to dance so soon?
I danced myself into the tomb
Is it wrong to understand?
The fear that dwells inside a man
What's it like to be a loon?
I liken it to a balloon.
Ah, ah.
I danced myself out of the womb
I danced myself out of the womb
Is it strange to dance so soon?
I danced myself into the tomb (and then again, once more...)
I danced myself out of the womb
I danced myself out of the womb
Is it strange to dance so soon?
I danced myself out of the womb
Ah, ah.
Jeepster.
(M. Bolan)
You're so sweet
You're so fine
I want you all and everything just to be mine, 'cause you're my babe
'Cause you're my love.
Oh, girl I'm just a Jeepster for your love.
You slide so good
With bones so fair
You've got the universe reclining in your hair
'Cause you're my babe
Yes you're my love.
Oh, girl I'm just a Jeepster for your love.
Just like a car, you're pleasing to behold
I'll call you Jaguar if I may be so bold
Well you're my babe
Yes you're my love.
Oh, girl I'm just a Jeepster for your love
Ah.
The wild winds blow upon your frozen cheeks
The way you flip your hip it always makes me weak
'Cause you're my babe
Yes you're my love.
Oh, girl I'm just a Jeepster for your love.
Your motivation
Is so sweet
Your vibrations are burning up my feet
'Cause you're my babe
Yes you're my love.
Oh, girl I'm just a Jeepster for your love
I said girl I'm just a vampire for your love
And I'm gonna suck ya.
Monolith.
(M. Bolan)
The throne of time
Is a kingly, a kingly thing
From whence you know
We all do begin
And dressed as you are, girl
In your fashions of fate
Baby, it's too late.
Shallow are the actions
Of the children of men
Fogged was their vision
Since the ages began
And lost like a lion
In the canyons of smoke
Girl, it's no joke, oh no.
It's no joke, oh, no
Shallow are the actions
Of the children of men
But it's no joke, oh no, oh no.
The throne of time
Is a kingly, a kingly thing
From whence you know
We all do begin
And dressed as you are, girl
In your fashions of fate
Brother, it's too late, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah.
Lean Woman Blues.
(M. Bolan)
Lean love
All you give to me
Is lean love
I'm like a beggar in the sand
With the sky in his hand
And I'm blue.
Black day
All you give to me
Are your wild ways
When you're the love of my life
And when you gorge me with a knife
And I'm blue.
Lightening
All the heavy world
Is frightening
I'm like a child in the sand
On the beach of the land of you
And I'm blue.
Get It On.
(M. Bolan)
Well, you're dirty and sweet
Clad in black, don't look back, and I love you
You're dirty and sweet, oh yeah
Well, you're slim and you're weak
You've got the teeth of the hydra upon you
You're dirty sweet and you're my girl.
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on.
Well, you're built like a car
You've got a hub cap diamond star halo
You're built like a car, oh yeah
Well, you're an untamed youth
That's the truth, with your cloak full of eagles
You're dirty sweet, and you're my girl.
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on (oh).
Well, you're windy and wild
You've got the blues in your shoes and your stockings
You're windy and wild, oh yeah
Well, you're built like a car
You've got a hub cap diamond star halo
You're dirty sweet and you're my girl.
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on.
Well, you're dirty and sweet
Clad in black, don't look back, and I love you
You're dirty and sweet, oh yeah
Well, you dance when you walk
So let's dance, take a chance, understand me
You're dirty sweet and you're my girl.
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on (ow)
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on (ow - get it on).
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on (ah-ah-ah-ah)
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on (ah-ah-ah-ah)
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on
Take me.
For a meanwhile I'm still thinking.
Planet Queen.
(M. Bolan)
Planet Queen, perchance to dream
She used my head like an exploder
The world's the same
The Planet Queen, the world's the same
I am to blame
She used my head
Like a revolver
The world's the same.
Well it's alright
Love is what you want
Flying saucer take me away
Give me your daughter
Well it's alright
Love is what you want
Flying saucer take me away
Give me your daughter.
Dragon head, machine of lead
Cadillac King
Dancer in the midnight, dragon head.

Girl.
(M. Bolan)
Oh God
High in your fields above Earth
Come and be real for us
You with your mind
Oh yes you are beautifully fine
Oh girl
Electric witch you are limp
In society's ditch you are
Visually fine, oh yes you are
But mentally dying
Oh doo
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
Oh yes you are
Oh boy
Just like a boat you are sunk
But somehow you float
You're too mentally weak
Oh yes you are
But so much you speak
Oh girl
Electric witch you are limp
In society's ditch you are
Visually fine, oh yes you are
But mentally dying
Oh God
High in your fields above Earth
Come and be real for us

The Motivator.
(M. Bolan)
I love the way you walk, don't you know you're a cool motivator?
Love the way you walk
Love the way you walk.
I love the way your eye doth shine like an Egyptian ruby.
Love the way it shines
Love the way it shines
Shine on.
I love the clothes you wear, they're so mean, they're so free, they're so handsome.
Love the clothes you wear
Love the clothes you wear.
I love the broken crown, the one you stole from the King and held for ransom.
Love the broken crown
Love the broken crown
I love it.
I love the golden cat, you know the one that you keep in your bedroom.
Love the golden cat, yeah
Love the golden cat.
I love the velvet hat, you know, the one that caused a revolution
Love the velvet hat
Love the velvet hat
I love you.
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la.

Ooh.
Life's a Gas.
(M. Bolan)
I could have loved you, girl, like a planet
I could have chained your heart to a star.
But it really doesn't matter at all
No, it really doesn't matter at all
Life's a gas.
I could have built a house on the ocean
I could have placed your love in the sky.
But it really doesn't matter at all
No, it really doesn't matter at all
Life's a gas.
I could have turned you into a priestess
I could have burned your fate in the sand.
But it really doesn't matter at all
No, it really doesn't matter at all
Life's a gas.
But it really doesn't matter at all
No, it really doesn't matter at all
Life's a gas
I hope it's gonna last.
But it really doesn't matter at all
No, it really doesn't matter at all
Life's a gas.
Rip Off.
(M. Bolan)
In the moonlight fighting with the night, it's a rip-off
Kissing all the slain and bleeding in the rain, it's a rip-off
Such a rip-off
Rocking in the nude and feeling such a dude, it's a rip-off
Dancing in the dark with the tramps in the park, it's a rip-off
Such a rip-off, yeah
See your baby's stud sliding in my mud, it's a rip-off
Bleached on the beach, I want to tickle your peach, it's a rip-off
Yeah
See the girl dance in her man-skin pants, it's a rip-off
Terraplane Tommy wants to bang your gong, it's a rip-off
Such a rip-off
Gypsy girl's good, people treat her like a fool
She's a rip-off
The President's weird, he's got burgundy beard
It's a rip-off, such a rip-off.
I'm the King of the highway
I'm the Queen of the hop
You should see me at the Governor's ball
Doing the rip-off bop
I'm a social person
I'm the creature in disguise
There's a man with a whip on his silver lip
Living inside my eyes
I'm the cat from the alley
I'm the fleetfoot voodoo man
There's very little that's ever said
All of which I understand.
Caught like skunk in space and time, it's a rip-off
If it's hers, well it must be mine
It's a rip-off, such a rip-off
Dancing in the nude, feeling such a dude, it's a rip-off
Oh
Mountings of the moon, remind me of my spoon, it's a rip-off
Such a rip-off
Bleached on the beach, I want to tickle your peach, it's a rip-off
Yeah
See the girl dance in her man-skin pants, it's a rip-off.

Terraplane Tommy wants to bang your gong, it's a rip-off
Such a rip-off
Gypsy girl's good, people treat her like a fool
She's a rip-off
The President's weird, he's got burgundy beard
It's a rip-off, such a rip-off.
I'm the King of the highway
I'm the Queen of the hop
You should see me at the Governor's ball
Doing the rip-off bop
I'm a social person
I'm the creature in disguise
There's a man with a whip on his silver lip
Living inside my eyes
I'm the cat from the alley
I'm the fleetfoot voodoo man
There's very little that's ever said
All of which I understand.
Caught like skunk in space and time, it's a rip-off
If it's hers, well it must be mine
It's a rip-off, such a rip-off
Dancing in the nude, feeling such a dude, it's a rip-off
Oh
Mountings of the moon, remind me of my spoon, it's a rip-off
Such a rip-off
Bleached on the beach, I want to tickle your peach, it's a rip-off
Yeah
See the girl dance in her man-skin pants, it's a rip-off.
