My People Were Fair and Had Sky in Their Hair... But Now They're Content to Wear Stars는 몽환으로의 심취라는 슬로건을 걸고 T.Rex라는 이름을 세상에 알린 1968년 첫번째 작품이다. 마크볼란 특유의 여린 목소리와 바이브레이션은 당시의 선풍적인 인기를 끌었던 LSD와도 같은 내면의 심취의 연장선상에서 그들을 많은이들에게 각인시켜주는 앨범으로 기록되었다. 싱글과 사이드 트랙 16곡을 포함한 확장판!
Hot rod mama moving like a motor cycle devil in a race Blown out my mind, I can't keep up the pace I'm selling all my midnight, still broke and living on the ground My gone little mama cut out without a sound
With my greased-up levis, baseball boots above my head If it wasn't such a tragedy I might wish I was dead
She took my ice-cream mustang and my purple coloured dodeville She even took my panpipes and my elixir of life pill
Mountain eyes, peeping out of his head Sipping tea composing in his bed A hundred hands working on a musical of old Debussy and Mendelssohn Handel and Dvorak of old Child star protege of Mister Gormez Who said you'd go far Child star, they do not see just what a precious gem you'd be Sad to see them watching you fade into invisibility
Twelve years old, your elvish fingers kiss your Beethoven hair The awesome people stare They're unaware of all the angel sounds they see and hear Debussy and Mendelssohn Handel and Dvorak of old Child star protege of Mister Gormez Who said you'd go far Child star and when you died at just thirteen they wept and wrung their hair Sad to see them mourning you when you are there Within the flowers and the trees
Broken English words cracked the air like a bell She had a chateau in Virginia Waters Free from all those culture vultures Her silver car a silver cloud cloaked the air in a shroud Her pearly author's teeth tore the seasoned cedar coloured pheasant
Her one rich wish is to write a book about A Venetian mother's problems on a barge in little Venice
She peers at the portrait of her poetess grandmother Who's theatrical in character Wise just like Socrates She sinks her nails into the aged canvas But the power from the wordster's head was cool and shrill and frightening
Miss Drag is intermingled with the powder-blue chaise lounge She types some acid words to her hairless Havana art dealer
Her one rich wish is to write a book about a chateau in Virginia Waters Free from all those culture vultures
I saw a little man who had a toy trumpet He sat on a stone with his lips to the mouthpiece He was deaf dumb and blind so he couldn't quite make it When out of the horn came a solid silver genie Who was made just to make the little man happy As the man made sounds the genie painted fluid, Mind-blowing visions on the little man's brain-box
Everybody small with no lips to play the trumpet Everybody living inside a giant deaf aid Everybody's eyes crucified to the tapestry Woven by the giant with the solid silver genie Who plays the trumpet
My Baby she knows I'm on a scene My baby keeps asking where I've been My baby's guessing that I'm messing It's all put together with alligator leather.
My Baby she knows I'm no fool My baby she says hey keep cool My baby don't realise I'm hypnotised It's all put together with alligator leather

Sitting all alone, looking at the throne of the one I used to love Sitting all alone, looking at the stone of my lovely inca love The huntress stands, with peacock hands she'd take me to where she lie She sighs so deep, it rocks the river of her stomach sky The oval moon, it tans the faun who holds grapes for my love Sitting all alone, sitting in the throne of my lovely inca love Hare krishna I come from a time where the burning of trees was a crime, I lived by a sea where to be was a thing of true joy, My people were fair and had sky in their hair, But now they're content to wear stars on their brows.
