I could never understand

The wind at all

Was like a ball of love

I could never never see

The cosmic sea

Was like a bumble bee

And when I'm sad...

I slide.

I have never never kissed

A car before

It's like a door

I have always always

Grown my own before

All schools are strange

And when I'm sad...

I slide.

I have never never

Nailed a nose before

That¹s how the garden grows

I could never understand

The wind at all

Was like a ball of love

And when I'm sad...

I Slide

Watch now

I'm gonna slide

Slider

Slider stands as a defining track in the discography of T-Rex, capturing the band's transition into a heavier, more aggressive sound during their mid-1970s period. Fronted by the charismatic Marc Bolan, the group pioneered the glam rock movement with a distinctive blend of bluesy riffs and rhythmic drive. This recording showcases the tight, muscular production that characterized their later work, moving away from the softer pop sensibilities of their earlier hits. The song reflects the band's ability to craft memorable hooks while maintaining a raw, energetic performance style that resonated with audiences across the United Kingdom and beyond. As part of a celebrated catalogue of rock anthems, Slider remains a testament to T-Rex's enduring influence on the genre.
