Broken-Hearted Blues

T. Rex were a British rock band, formed in 1967 by singer/songwriter and guitarist Marc Bolan. The band formed as Tyrannosaurus Rex, releasing four underground folk albums under the name. Tony Visconti (their producer for several albums) claimed in a documentary on the band that he had taken to using the abbreviated term "T. Rex" as a shorthand, something that initially irritated Bolan, who gradually came around to the idea and officially shortened the band's name to "T. Rex" at roughly the same time they started having big hits (shortly after going electric). more »

This is a song that I wrote when I was young
And I call it the broken-hearted blues
The air on that night was tempered like a knife 
And the people wore the face-masks of a clown
Don - he was long, misshapen and forlorn
And his woman ran away without a smile

Days of the earth are unbroken, changeless turf
But the faces of the men are something else
In the wind, as a boy, was a spacious sexual toy
But, baby, now he's a toothless baggy man
When the hills of the sun make you feel that you are young...

Get good now, and face your face into the wind
This is a song that I wrote when I was young 
And I called it the broken-hearted blues
