T.Rex lyrics
Album: TANX [1973]
| Tenement Lady | |
|
Ow!
Tenement lady, stone drug mama
Street hawk stone heart
Mind that swiftly falls apart *
Sudden Sid Groove Lid, sharp as the dark park
Pickle pump peeper
Mind that swiftly falls apart
Count Lurch Hearse Head
Prince of the snick snacks
Got a pierced ear mind fear
of the sailors with their perfume
Molly Mouse dream talk, gin house milk shake
She steals my magazines
She's a lazer-lipped lover yeah!
* Repeat
Oh my darling there are many ways to love you
Underneath sheets of silk I slyly peep at you
People on the street call out your name
The giants and the dwarfs all call the same
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh my darling there are many ways to view you
To me your almost like a hammer and screw
People on the street call out your name
The giants and the dwarfs all call the same
Oh yeah, oh yeah oh

| Rapids | |
|
Your mama said, "clean out your head boy,
don't lay nothing on my child"
Your friends they said, "Your heads in a noose
boy lay some boogie on our minds"
And we stood like the rapids
and I was like a new born child
Your father said, "Clean out your head boy,
go and kick cans along the street"
Your father said "clean out your toes Rose
and go and lick some uncooked meat"
And we stood like the rapids
And I was like a new born child
Your mama said, "My babe is not free son,
but I'm loose about midnight"
Your father said, "Your sisters a groove boy,
what I said it just ain't right"
But then I stood like the rapids
And I was like a new born child
Won't you tell me why?
|
| Mister Mister | |
|
Oh yeah
Mister mister mister
I'm just looking for a change in my luck
Mister mister mister
I'm just looking for a change in my luck
Looking for a change
Baby baby baby
I'm just looking with my eye to the sky
Baby baby baby
I'm just looking with my eye to the sky
With my eye to the sky *
Looking, I'm gonna keep on looking babe
Keep on looking, I'm gonna keep on looking babe
For a change
Sister sister sister
I'm just looking for a change in my love
Sister sister sister
I'm just looking for a change in my love
Looking for a change.
*Repeat
Looking, I'm gonna keep on looking babe
Keep on looking, I'm gonna keep on looking babe
Looking I'm gonna keep on looking babe
Keep on looking, I'm gonna keep on looking babe
Dee-dee bom bom, de-de bom bom, dee-dee bom bom *
*Repeat until fade

| Broken Hearted Blues | |
|
This is a song, that I wrote when I was young
And I call it the broken-hearted blues
The air on that night was tempered like a knife
And the people wore the face masks of a clown
Don he was long, mis-shapen and forlorn
And his woman ran away without a smile
Days of the earth are unbroken changeless turf
But the faces of the men are something else
Jason Wind, as a boy, was a spacious sexual toy
But baby now he's a toothless baggy man
When the hills of the sun
Make you feel that you are young
Get good now and face your face into the wind
This is a song that I wrote when I was young
And I called it the Broken Hearted Blues

| Shock Rock | |
|
Oh baby, pretty baby, oh baby you're my girl
Oh baby, pretty baby, oh baby you're my
You're my girl *
If you know how to rock
You don't have to shock
If you know how to rock
You don't have to shock **
*Repeat
**Repeat twice

| Country Honey | |
|
Take me down to the country honey
Take me down to the country honey
In a jeep that's sweet
In a jeep that's neat
Take me down to the country honey
Take me down to the seaside baby
Take me down to the seaside baby
In a jeep that's neat
In a jeep that's sweet
Take me down to the country honey
Take me down, oh take me down
In a jeep, in a jeep that's sweet
Take me down, oh take me down
In a jeep that's, in a jeep that's neat

| Electric Slim And The Factory Hen | |
|
On the street, people call you a foxy girl
Me, I'm loose, like a golden goose
You can have my juice
Steady on soldier
Watch what your doing to my girl
Steady on soldier
Watch what your doing to my girl *
Electric Slim and the Factory Hen
Man they ain't my kind
At dead of night, like a fiery kite
You've been on my mind
*Repeat
Frozen feet on a winter street man
Man that ain't your fate
Greased in the sun, California fun
Man that's more my style
*Repeat twice

| Mad Donna | |

I'm a foxy man, don't you understand
Would take a rocket ship to let me
get my thighs on you
I'm gonna change Mad Donna
I'm gonna change Mad Donna
I'm gonna change Mad Donna, for you*
In a coach of blue, I'm gonna love you too
Like the gods of old, I'm gonna
get my teeth in you
* Repeat
I'm gonna change
I'm a foxy man, don't you understand
Like the gods of old, I'm gonna
get my mouth on you
* Repeat x 3

| The Street And Babe Shadow | |
|
Tiger tim, the tightrope walker
Tried to steal, the dragons daughter
Babe, I 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 Ihe 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, I 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, I do mean babe
Shake
Babe, I do mean babe
I could tell you something
I could tell you something
Babe, I do mean babe

| Highway Knees | |

She could have laid
Could have stayed on the highway
I could have loved her, O yes I could
Her children stayed
Could have played, on the highway
I could have known them, O yes I could *
On my knees, I'm begging please **
* Repeat
** Repeat x 3

| Left Hand Luke | |
|
Call yourself a friend,
and look me in the eye
I'll unstrap my knees and I'll apologise
'Cos I'm, Left Hand Luke
and the Beggar Boys
O yes we are *
Ain't no neighbours upon our hill
'Cept Slight Thigh Be-Bop and Old Gumbo Jill But
I'm Left Hand Luke and the Beggar Boys
O yes we are
Ain't nobody's someone
and it hurts deep inside
Just call us taxi Mama
and we'll take you for a ride
'Cos I'm Left Hand Luke and the Beggar Boys
O yes we are
Wow
Left Hand Luke and the Beggar Boys
O yes we are
Myxomatosis is an animal's disease
But I got so shook up Mama
that it ate away my knees
And I'm Left Hand Luke and the Beggar Boys
O yes we are
Ain't had no money Lord, but it's plain to see
If you had some silver Mister
how much would you pay for me?
'Cos I'm, Left Hand Luke and the Beggar Boys
O yes we are
*Repeat
No one's gonna fool me baby
