Metal guru is it you
Metal guru is it you
Sitting there in your armour plated chair
Metal guru is it true
Metal guru is it true
all alone without a telephone
Metal guru could it be
you're gonna brng my baby to me
she'll be wild you know
a rock and roll child
Metal guruhas it been
just like a silet-studded sabre-tooth dream
I'll be clean you know
Metal guru is it you
Metal guru is it you
Baby mystic lady
you do own my night
put my dogs to fright
yea yea yea yea yea
Riding sliding sorceress
in your dungarees
got me on my knees
The people in your life are cruel
keep on riding that hard road
the lovers in your life are few
keep on riding that hard road
Pleasant crescent moon
fills my heart with pain
fills my toes with rain
Oh Bobby you're a hobby
with the learned ones
like a setting sun
I've been down there
Everybody's been there
everyone everyone
Desolation angel
on the cover of my paper
loves everyone everyone
Rock on rock on
Mild mouthed Rita
she's a chevy chase cheetah
loves everyone everyone
Teddy's going steady
he's a silver-plated poet
loves everyone everyone
Prophet pumped the car-scar
deeper only sweeter
loves everyone
I could never understand
the wind at all
was like a ball of love
I could never never see
the cosmic sea
was like a bumblebee
And when I'm sad
I slide
I have never never kissed
a car before
it's like a door
I have always always
grown my own before
all schools are strange
And when I'm sad
I slide
I have never never
nailed a nose before
that's how the garden grows
I could never understand
the wind at all
was like a ball of love
and when I'm sad
I slide
watch now
I'm gonna slide
Slim lined sheik faced
Angel of the night
Riding like a cowboy
In the graveyard of the night
New York witch in the dungeon
Of the day
I'm trying to write my novel
But all you do is play
Mince pie dog-eye
Eagle on the wind
I'm searching through this garbage
Looking for a friend
Your uncle with an alligator
Chained to his leg
Dangles you your freedom
Then he offers you his bed
It seems to me to dream
Is something too wild
In Max's Kansas City
You a belladonna child
Riding on the highways
On the gateways to the south
You're talking with your boots
And you're walking with your mouth
Baby Boomerang
Baby Boomerang
You never spike a person
But you always bang the whole gang
Thank you ma'am
I'm just a man
I understand the wind
and all the things
that make the children cry
With my Les Paul
I know I'm small
but I enjoy living
anyway
Book after book
I get hooked
everytime the writer
talks to me like a friend
What can I do
we just live in a zoo
all I do is play
the spaceball ricochet
Deep in my heart
there's a house
that can hold
almost all of you
I brought a car
it was old but kind
I gave it my mind
and it disappeared
I love a girl
she is a changeless angel
she's a city it's a pity
that I'm like me
I said how can I lay
when all I do is play
the spaceball ricochet
Buick Buick Buick Mackane
will you
Buick Mackane will you be my
girl
Rainy lady, queen of the rock
will you help me to roll
help me roll, to my soul
Slide slider
you're just a sexual glider
you're just a sexual glider
be my plane in the rain
Telegram Sam
Telegram Sam
you're my main man
Golden nose Slim
golden nose Slim
I know's where you 'bin
Purple pie Pete
purple pie Pete
your lips are like lightning
girls melt in the heat
Telegram Sam
you're my main man
Telegram Sam
you're my main man
Bobby's alright
Bobby's alright
he's a natural born poet
he's just out a sight
Jungle faced Jake
jungle faced Jake
I said make no mistake
about jungle faced Jake
Automatic shoes
automatic shoes
give me 3d vision
and the California blues
Me I funk but I don't care
Iain't no square with my corkscrew hair
Telegram Sam
Telegram Sam I'm a howlin' wolf
Shady politician in my bed
tying bolts of lightning to his head
call me Rabbit Fighter you know it's true
'cos babe I'll rabbit fight all over you
Tramp king of the city he's my friend
Moondog's just a prophet to the end
call me Rabbit Fighter you know it's true
'cos babe I'll rabbit fight all over you
I saw a dude unscrewed and badly turned
laughing
'cos he'd gotten what he'd earned
call me Rabbit Fighter you know it's true
'cos babe I'll rabbit fight all over you
Call me Rabbit Fighter
Jo Jo don't you know
I see you walking
I see you talking
with all of my friends
I'm shadowed under you're like some thunder
I wanna be your friend
I wanna call you
I wanna ball you all night long
in winds of passion my whip is lashing
I wanna get you and then
Oooo you're strange
don't lame me baby strage
don't lame me baby
The city's shaking
I ain't faking baby this is the end
I'm overloaded my head's exploded
I wanna get you and then
You gonna look fine
be primed for dancing
you're gonna trip and glide
all on the trembling plane
your diamond hands
will be stacked with roses
and wind and cars
and people of the past
I'll call you thing
just when the moon sings
and place your face in stone
upon the hills of stars
and gripped in the arms
of the changeless madman
we'll dance our lives away
in the ballrooms of mars
You talk about day
I'm talking 'bout night time
when the monsters call out
the names of men
Bob Dylan knows
and I bet Alan Freed did
there are things in night
that better not to behold
You dance
with your lizard leather boots on
and pull the strings
that change the faces of men
you diamond browed hag
you're a gutter-gaunt gangster
John Lennon knows your name
and I've seen his
Girl you are a groove
you're like the planets when you move
see the winter' coming
in a two finned caddy
gonna walk upon the waters
go oooo yea
Girl you gotta cook
you got the chariot by the hook
I'm riding in the rain
got my blue suede shoes
gonna give up all my pain
and go ooooo yea
Baby you know who you are
baby you know who you are
don't you know who you are
Standing on your porch
you wear your pleasure like a torch
hiding in the road
like a Paolini toad
gonna give up all my load
and go oooo yea
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
