Main Man Lyrics

are you my main man
are you now are you now
are you my main man
are you now are you now
are you now
are you a god man
are you now are you now
are you a frog man
are you now are you now are you now
heaven is hot babe
everso everso
heaven is hot babe
watch it glow watch it glow
watch it glow
bolan likes to rock now
yes he does yes he does
bolan likes to rock now
yes he does, yes he does
is there a sane man
anywhere anywhere
got giraffes in my hair
and i don't care
no i don't care, no i don't care
as a child i laughed a lot
o yes i did o yes i did
now it seems i cry a lot
o tell me true don't you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

There is another version with more lyrics . .

including calling out Elton John, "Are you my main man, Elton John?" sounds out of context at first, but then it sounds like he is challenging Elton to declare himself, as though that were necessary . .

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.
