the bit about buying a car refers to an old (but kind) cadillac that he bought from Ringo Starr but he never collected it (hence it disappeared) |

it's true. The last two verses are missing:
Well you're dirty & sweet
Clad in black
Don't look back
And I love you
You're dirty & sweet oh yeah
Well you dance when you walk
So let's dance
Take a chance
Understand me
You're dirty sweet & you're my girl |

after the first "I'm her two-penny prince and i give her hot love aa-haa" there's the line "Take it out on me mama" which although, sort of an aside, is still a lyric.... |

by "kinda Tolkien influenced" do you mean the original other band member had the name of a character from The Lord of the Rings? - Steve Peregrine Took.... ;) |

Bolan's own commentary: "..a song about me 'As a child I laughed a lot, now it seems I cry a lot'. I've never cried so much in my whole life as this last year. 'Giraffes in my hair', that's a 'Top of the Pops' flash about having giraffes coming out of the top of my head. I thought it would be funky... I'm weird, man, let's go." - source, sleeve notes to the alternate Slider. |

Bolan's own words "I wrote "Life's a Gas" when I was feeling that life was a lot of fun. I wrote "Life is Strange" as an answer to it. It's a love song that says life can be a gas, but that it can also be very confusing and odd" |

The line "Meanwhile, I'm still thinking" at the end of the track came from a suggestion by Mickey Finn who thought that it would be good to imply that he wasn't sure that sex would be such a good idea after all. |

spot on, Lady Stardust. People go on and on about how Marc Bolan's lyrics make no sense BUT THEY ARE POETRY. A lot of the time it's just about the sound the words make together with the music. I suppose some people just have no soul.... |

where you have "Like you said when we met child" the lyrics are actually "Like you said in your letters"
And where you have "Is the night right for love?" it should be "Is-a my night for love?"

The verses are typically poetic descriptions of women Marc finds sexy and the chorus is about having "no ties" sex with them. The line "Meanwhile, I'm still thinking" at the end of the track came from a suggestion by Mickey Finn who thought that it would be good to imply that he wasn't sure that sex would be such a good idea after all. |
