Lean Women Blues
T-Rex · Other Songs - T-Rex
All you give to me
Is lean love
I'm like a beggar in the sand
With the sky in his hand
And I'm blue
O black day
All you give to me
Are your wild ways
Well you're the love of my life
And then you gorge me with a knife
And I'm blue, that's untrue
Lightening
All the heavy world
Is frightening
I'm talking to you
I'm like a child in the sand
On the beach of the land of you
And i'm blue
Oh I'm your friend
Dig your head
About Lean Women Blues
T-Rex's "Lean Women Blues" stands as a defining track from their 1971 debut album, *Electric Boogie*. Released during the height of the glam rock era, the song exemplifies the band's signature blend of driving rhythms, distorted guitars, and a distinctive vocal delivery. The recording captures the raw energy and theatrical flair that made T-Rex pioneers of the genre, influencing countless artists who followed in the late 1960s and early 1970s. While often overshadowed by their massive hit "Bang Bang," this track showcases the band's versatility and commitment to a hard-hitting, danceable sound. It remains a staple of classic rock collections, representing the transition from psychedelic experimentation to the polished, high-energy style that characterized their most successful period. The song's enduring appeal lies in its powerful production and the iconic presence of Marc Bolan, cementing its place in the annals of rock history.
