Solid Gold Easy Action

Life is the same And it always will be Easy as picking foxes from a tree

But I can't get no satisfaction All I want is easy action

A stud is a lamb With the thoughts of a tiger

Who moves like a cat And knows how to ride her

But I can't get no satisfaction All I want is easy action, baby

Stroll on I can't get no satisfaction All I want is easy action

A woman from the east with her headlights shining

Eased my pain and stopped my crying

But I can't get no satisfaction All I want is easy action, baby

And all my hair will keep her smiling With my wondrous walk and my telephone dialing But I can't get no satisfaction All I want is easy action, baby

I know you're shrewd and she's a dude But all I want is easy action I know you're shrewd and she's a dude But all I want is easy action I know you're shrewd and she's a dude But all I want is easy action, baby

Stroll on

'A stud is a lamb With the thoughts of a tiger Who moves like a cat And knows how to ride her'

genius, absolute genius

i know you're shrewd and shes a dude but all i want is easy action

Dude = Person from the East "A woman from the east with her headlights shining" I used to think this song was about doing a transvestite. Sure glad I got that clarified for myself :)

"i cant get no satisfaction all i was is easy action."

hahha,.. sounds to me like a prostitute. butttt ... he just wants easy action... and its solid gold.

this song is sweet.

Well...Um Sex is the obvious theme, looks like not all of Marc's song's are poetry eh? Don't get me started on "All my head will keep her smiling" ;)

However, an interesting fact/link whatever you want to call it ^^; The Car that Marc Bolan died in had the Registration Plate FOX 661L, and crashed into a tree, now that throws a disturbing light on "Picking Foxes from a tree" doesn't it?

I thought it was "all my hair will keep her smiling". He used to change and shift words so freely. His wondrous walk - the way he moved on the stage, and telephone dialling - some references to telephones existing in his songs (like Metal Guru, Shy boy)..

Now, this may be reading a bit much into Marc's lyrics here, but... Could the line 'this girl is a lamb with the thoughts of a tiger' refer to William Blake's poem 'The Tyger', from Songs Of Experience? The poem itself clearly contrasts with his earlier poem, 'The Lamb', from Songs Of Innocense: 'Did he who made the Lamb make thee?'. Also: could the following line, 'moves like a cat but knows how to ride her' refer to the chinese proverb 'he who rides a tiger is afraid to dismount'? Marc was fond of classical poetry from many different cultures, after all. Perhaps he was cleverer than he seemed?
