lost time

Thirty years ago today, Marc Bolan died.

Cosmic Dancer
(partial lyrics)
Marc Bolan

I was dancing when I was twelve
I was dancing when I was aaah
I danced myself right out of the womb
Is it strange to dance so soon
I danced myself right out of the womb.

I was dancing when I was eight
Is it strange to dance so late
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

Lean Woman Blues
(studio adlibs)
Marc Bolan

(take 10 ...)
(one and a two)
(and buckle my shoe!)

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
Well you're the love of my life
And then you gorge me with a knife
And I'm blue
(that's so true!)

Lightening
All the heavy world
Is frightening
(i'm talkin to you!)
I'm like a child in the sand
On the beach of the land of you
And I'm blue
(oh, i'm your friend, take my hand)

Lean love
All you give to me
Is your lean love
I'm like a beggar in the sand
With the sky in my hand
And I'm blue
(cuz i really love you)
