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
A woman from the east with her headlights shining
eased my pain and stopped my crying
And all my hair will keep her smiling
With my wondrous walk and my telephone dialing
I know you''re shrewd and she''s a dude
But all I want is easy action

T. Rex

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 »
