Your mama said, "clean out your head boy,
don't lay nothing on my child"
Your friends they said, "Your heads in a noose
boy lay some boogie on our minds"
And we stood like the rapids
and I was like a new born child
Your father said, "Clean out your head boy,
go and kick cans along the street"
Your father said "clean out your toes Rose
and go and lick some uncooked meat"
And we stood like the rapids
And I was like a new born child
Your mama said, "My babe is not free son,
but I'm loose about midnight"
Your father said, "Your sisters a groove boy,
what I said it just ain't right"
But then I stood like the rapids
And I was like a new born child
Won't you tell me why?
don't lay nothing on my child"
Your friends they said, "Your heads in a noose
boy lay some boogie on our minds"
And we stood like the rapids
and I was like a new born child
Your father said, "Clean out your head boy,
go and kick cans along the street"
Your father said "clean out your toes Rose
and go and lick some uncooked meat"
And we stood like the rapids
And I was like a new born child
Your mama said, "My babe is not free son,
but I'm loose about midnight"
Your father said, "Your sisters a groove boy,
what I said it just ain't right"
But then I stood like the rapids
And I was like a new born child
Won't you tell me why?
give me a fucking break!? there should be at least one comment on each marc bolan song this guy was a fucking legend in his own right and this song just backs up that claim just as much as Jeepster and his other massive hits! wake up people stop listening to shit and start listening and commenting on real music such as this!
How can this song not have any comments? Great damn tune
And I stood like the rapids and they were like a newborn child
sooooooooo funky
Your father said "clean out your toes rose and go and lick some uncooked meat`
Seriously, Bolan? Fricking hilarious.
Never understood, what it´s about but I like the riff and melody and stole it for some song for my band, with slight musical changes and other lyrics
