Marc Bolan (born Mark Feld) was born in Hackney Hospital, East London on 30th September 1947. He was then taken to his first home, 25 Stoke Newington Common. He was the beloved son to Simeon and Phyllis Feld and younger brother to Harry Feld. Marc attended Northwold Road Primary School, Stoke Newington and later The William Wordsworth Secondary Modern School, Wordsworth Road, London. Marc left school at the age of 14, claiming to have been expelled, as he didn't think they were teaching him the things he wanted to know. He had a huge interest in poetry and romantic literature, and was influenced by Dylan Thomas and Rimbaud. He formed his first group in 1959, and called it Suzie And The Hula-Hoops. Singer Helen Shapiro was a member of this band, and rehearsals wer More... (Submit New Marc Bolan and T. Rex Lyrics) (Submit New Marc Bolan and T. Rex Lyrics) Review about Marc Bolan and T. Rex the in USA called "Light of love" Album | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song The Soul of My Suit performed by Marc Bolan and T. Rex Girl In the Thunderbolt Suit arbeitet wie bei den typischen Bolan Songs der späten Ära - das Album ist von 1974 - sehr viel mit background Stimmen. Es ist die direkte Fortsetzung der "A cramed cage in August" LP. Hier werden jedoch auch zusätzlich Rock & Roll Elemente verwendet, ist damit ein flotterer Song als die ausgekoppelten Hita "Thinc Zinc" und "Light of Love" raw ramp | Reviewer: sarah ------ About the song Raw Ramp performed by Marc Bolan and T. Rex this is my favorite song by my favorite person of all time. you can usually see how marc gets off throwing out as many pretty fantastical words as he can to create images or feelings, and as much as i love everything he has made, partially because of how much excess he puts in everything, and how flamboyant it is, it's refreshing to hear raw ramp which is so simple. it makes this song seem more sincere. it's about the elevated feeling of being in love, or infatuated. and what makes it believable is that it's simple, or raw, like the title of the song. he loves her mouth and her breasts and her attitude, all kind of shallow things, but when you're infatuated with someone you could rave on these things because to you they're mystical (baby your mouth is like a ghost) as soon as the beat of this song begins, my mood is picked up by it. also, it's sweet to hear bolan throw someone else up on a pedestal for a chance, whoever she may be. it usually seems he's the one up there. infatuation is very humbling. chariots of silk | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Chariots of Silk performed by Marc Bolan and T. Rex this song paints a picture of people on different roads of life all on journeys of some sort. some with definite purpose (a mad mage with a maid on his eyebrows), others not so clear (like the first verse.) anyway, everyone seems to be going someplace. there is also a description of a goddess-like figure who also wanders the earth in "chariots of silk" on "stallions of gold' maybe the goddess of wanderers? urgent and dreamy | Reviewer: Gaz ------ About the song The Woodland Bop performed by Marc Bolan and T. Rex The first two lines of this song are about it's title. The rest of the song goes off on a tangent, with Bolan singing about an unamed woman, who streaks across the skies in the halloweed morning. Bolan urges us to see this, and to see her, "Streaking across the skies." The first two lines are lines that anyone could have written. The rest of the lyrics are like a poem, they stand apart, and the music that accompanies them is urgent and dreamy at the same time. not a tale as such | Reviewer: Gaz ------ About the song The Pilgrim's Tale performed by Marc Bolan and T. Rex This song is from the Tyrannosaurus Rex album Unicorn, and although it is entitled "The Pilgrim's Tale" it is not a tale as such, but seems to be a song that might be sung by pilgrims, on a pilgrimage, although the destination of the Pilgrimage is unclear. It is a joyful song, and one can imagine the pilgrims on their donkeys or mules, singing the song as they travel on bridleways, long before the invention of the motorcar. A curious line in the first verse is; As a flock the wild seas sway before us. Here, the wild seas are compared to a flock of birds, or is it the other way around; a flock of birds being compared to wild seas, and in what way do flocks of birds or wild seas, Sway ? Even though this line appears to make no sense, the poetic beauty of it is breathtaking; astounding. One of those effortless Bolanic phrases that wouldn't work for any other poet, and which poet other than Bolan could have penned such a line ? The chorus: Dazzle dawn man etc, is so hauntingly beautiful (melody and lyrics) it could rival any song written in the 20th century. The song has an easy going tempo, and fades at the end with a single note tapped out on reed organ. Sheer genius !!! Urban and Modern | Reviewer: Gaz ------ About the song The Street and Babe Shadow performed by Marc Bolan and T. Rex This track appeared on tanx, t.rex's album of 1973. The song is a hypnotic one, with a mid-tempo beat, and it has a sad, yearning, almost haunting feel to it, yet it is strong and has a driving beat. There is a good saxophone solo by an unknown (to me) player. This song is lyrically typical of Bolan's peak popularity period, in that it's urban and modern, and full of unlikely sounding characters, doing unlikely things, ie Tiger Tim the tightrope walker/Tried to steal the drag queen's daughter. Babe Shadow never appears, and the song is not, as far as I can see, about, THE street, but the song is full of interesting imagery, like rats and people building a ship and flying to venus. The best lines, for me, come towards the end of the song with, Pain is meat and meat is people/ Your head's a house, your soul's a steeple. Here, Bolan seems to be trying to tell us something profound, like, Pain is what we need to survive, and we get pain from people. Your head's a house, your soul's a steeple, ie your soul is above your head. Yes, life is a gas, but it's SUCH a scene. clues in scraps | Reviewer: Gaz ------ About the song Wind Quartets performed by Marc Bolan and T. Rex The first two lines suggest that we are about to be told a story; perhaps a wind quartet playing on the (trelawny) lawn, and bolan sat in some bedroom, stroking a woman's necklace, with his jeep hand, whatever a jeep hand may be. Here, as already stated, there is a suggestion of a story about to be told, but this soon disintegrates into typically Bolanesque mumbo-jumbo, where the sounds of the words are more important than their meanings, and that's fine by me. The song does tell a kind of story - if you want it to, but the story is only a sketch, we are left to wonder about the events in this story, and are just given clues, in scraps. It's a very descriptive song, with bird head, jeep hand, spartan runner, and of course that necklace, crusted crammed with old eutruscan gold. As well as the song seemingly telling a story, it could equally describe a scene; a photograph, or more romantically, a painting. The song's title is pure genius, with bolan naming the song in the plural: Wind Quartets. Incredible/Invincible | Reviewer: Jigsaw ------ About the song Ride A White Swan performed by Marc Bolan and T. Rex From the first guitar licks... this rocker shocks, thrills and astonishes as all good rockers do. It screams like a Swan cavorting through the Mystic English countryside. I dare anyone to find a comparable 11-12 second guitar solo that hollers like this one. Absolutely incredible. I first hear this jewel while still in High School. Of course all of my classmates thought I was totally "Out There" and I was! RIDE IT ON OUT... WOW - So fine to finally hear it again. Spaceball Ricochet | Reviewer: nelly ------ About the song Spaceball Ricochet performed by Marc Bolan and T. Rex I love this song. i never get tired of listening to it. Only he could write songs like this and even today with all the techno they dont create a sound that helps to define an age.xxxxxxx spaceball ricochet | Reviewer: mike ------ About the song Spaceball Ricochet performed by Marc Bolan and T. Rex A typically amazing offering from T.Rex. All the individual performances are tight, yet it's a lushly multi-layered, multi-textured sound. Not only the instrumental performances, but also the vocal performances and arrangements are fantastic---utterly unearthly sounding. I'm pleased to hear that a thirteen year-old like georgie listens to T.Rex. I was fourteen when I first listened to T.Rex, georgie---33 years ago. Got The Slider on 8-track for a birthday gift. I still put it on my top ten list, and Bolan's on my top five list of rock artists. I would love to review this song | Reviewer: marquessd ------ About the song Go Go Girl performed by Marc Bolan and T. Rex but it's the only one on the list I don't own. Where can I find it? Your site is a great service - helped me a lot with some undocumented lyrics. Thanks for adding the lyrics I submitted, but a couple of 'helpful?' comments: 1) You asked what Album the song was from, but none of the entries say this. How about adding it to each lyric? 2) It does get to me a bit that all of them say 'Marc Bolan and T.Rex' when you know a lot of them are Tyrannosaurus Rex or Solo numbers. 3) Does anyone have any ideas about they lyrics to 'Do I love Thee'- I have worked out some but not enough to submit - it sounds like Marc is being a bit more rude than normal in places. my all time fav | Reviewer: Rosemary ------ About the song Eastern Spell performed by Marc Bolan and T.
