Girl
T. Rex · Electric Boogie [1971]
O God
High in your fields above earth
Come and be real for us
You with your mind
Oh yes you are
Beautifully fine
O girl
Electric witch you are
Limp in society's ditch you are
Visually fine
Oh yes you are
But mentally dying
O boy
Just like a boat you are
Sunk but somehow you float you do
Mentally weak
Oh yes you are
But so much you speak
High in your fields above earth
Come and be real for us
You with your mind
Oh yes you are
Beautifully fine
O girl
Electric witch you are
Limp in society's ditch you are
Visually fine
Oh yes you are
But mentally dying
O boy
Just like a boat you are
Sunk but somehow you float you do
Mentally weak
Oh yes you are
But so much you speak
Girl - T. Rex
Released in 1971 on the Electric Boogie album, 'Girl' stands as a defining track in the evolution of rock music, marking T. Rex's transition from psychedelic pop to a more aggressive, hard rock sound. The song features the band's signature Marshall stack guitar tone and a driving rhythm section that propelled them toward the forefront of the UK music scene. Its raw energy and distinctive vocal delivery by Marc Bolan cemented the band's reputation for innovation and helped establish the template for glam rock's darker, heavier side. As a staple of their discography, the recording remains a critical example of late-60s British rock production and continues to resonate with fans of classic hard rock and glam.
