t.rex — woodland rock
electric warrior (expanded), 1971

there’s a man on the corner
got his head in his hat
he dances like a gypsy
so he must be where it’s at

do the rock
do the woodland rock
let it all hang out
everybody shout
do the rock
do the woodland rock

the wind is the thing
that makes the body swing
it brings you up & takes you down
and treats you like a king

do the rock
do the woodland rock
let it all hang out
everybody shout
do the rock
do the woodland rock

met a little mama
she was sweet; she was gone
she’s got legs like a railroad
face like a song

do the rock
do the woodland rock
let it all hang out
everybody shout
do the rock
do the woodland rock
oh yeah

the wind is in the willows
my house is up a tree
the seas of change are flowing
i want everybody free

do the rock
do the woodland rock
let it all hang out
everybody shout
do the rock
do the woodland rock

met a little mama
she was sweet; she was gone
she’s got legs like a railroad
face like a song

do the rock
do the woodland rock
let it all hang out
everybody shout
do the rock
do the woodland rock

ally bally bash bam rock-a-billy boom!

do the rock
do the woodland rock
let it all hang out
everybody shout
do the rock
do the woodland rock
oh yeah

let it all hang out
everybody shout
do the rock
do the woodland rock
oh yeah

marc bolan — jasper c. debussy
recorded: circa 1966

one of marc bolan’s first solo recordings, this song features john paul jones, who would later become the bassist for the legendary led zeppelin. when bolan was with the band john’s children, they used to play this song at gigs. it was finally released on 1974’s the beginning of doves, but without marc’s “R-rated” intro, which is included here.

“fuck off or keep cool, you know?”

jasper was fine but he had glass eyes
he crucified me with his pixie-coloured lies
his hair was black; he had a bend in his back
he tied my cousin eddie to the railroad tracks
the train, it come, he started to run
jasper c. debussy, that’s his kind of fun…

t.rex — jewel
t.rex, 1970

well i’ve got a little babe
with jewels upon her lip
well i’ve got a little babe
with jewels upon her lip
her hair’s like a river
it’s fast & slowly drips

she bathes in thunder
the elves are under her
she bathes in thunder
the elves are under her
she walks the wind
and has a panther with silver fur

her thoughts are gold
her eyes, electric blue
her thoughts are gold
her eyes, electric blue
she sleeps upon the dreams
of me and you
