His fourth number one in the UK and a big hit in Australia it would seem that Marc Bolan could do no wrong. His singles were just so exciting and so damn catchy. He was the first superstar of the seventies. I found that by not drying my hair after washing it (oh for the days I used a hair dryer) it would start to curl up in small ringlets...depending on the conditioner I used. So I was trying to get that Bolan look going. At school the principal was in turmoil. he would get me and my mates together and berate us to cut our hair. Then he would get the skinheads togeteher and berate them to grow their hair. A real dilemna, One day in the library we were looking for their thin source of music books when Munroe, the principal walks in and grabs my mate's hair and lifts him up "Is this a handle?" he says.
At least some of my friends were starting to get T. Rex now. When they first came out the music snobs into rock and prog gave me a hard time of my glam rock preferences but the seventies were getting into full swing now and the radio was blasting out all these great singles. And the girls liked them!
Metal Guru is it you, Metal Guru is it you
Sitting there in your armor plated chair, oh yeah
Metal Guru is it true, Metal Guru is it true
All alone without a telephone, oh yeah
Metal Guru could it be you're gonna bring my baby to me
She'll be wild you know a rock and roll child, oh yeah
Metal Guru has it been, just like a silver-studded sabre-tooth dream
I'II be clean you know pollution machine, oh yeah
Metal Guru is it you, Metal Guru is it you
Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, rock!
