| These lyrics deserve a full reprint. In the moonlight Fighting with the night It's a rip-off Kissing all the slain I'm bleeding in the rain Such a rip-off Rocking in the nude I'm feeling such a dude It's a rip-off Dancing in the dark With the tramps in the Park It's a rip-off Such a rip-off See your baby's stud Sliding in my mud It's a rip-off Bleached on the beach I want to tickle your peach It's a rip-off Such a rip-off See the girl in dance In her man-skin pants Such a rip-off Terraplane Tommy Wants to bang your gong It's a rip-off Such a rip-off Gypsy girl's good People treat her like a fool It's a rip-off The President's weird He's got burgundy beard It's a rip-off Such a rip-off I'm the King of the highway I'm the Queen of the hop You should see me At the Governor's ball Doing the rip-off bop I'm a social person I'm the creature in disguise There's a man with a whip On his silver lip Living inside my eyes I'm the cat from the alley I'm the fleetfoot voodoo man There's very little that's ever said All of which I understand Caught like skunk In space and time It's a rip-off If it's hers Well it must be mine It's a rip-off Such a rip-off _________________ Ibble obble black bobble, ibble obble out!

| Despite it's middle-section lull and it's most famous song being played to death it deserves the top accolade. _________________ Ibble obble black bobble, ibble obble out!

| Anyway, Electric Warrior was even better than I remember it. My one regret was not being into Bolan when I was younger. And I believed the fools who said he was a 'singles' artist. |

| The album starts strongly, builds magically, strongly then falls away into something of a trough for a spell before rallying powerfully and reaching an epic yet perfectly nuanced and impressive crescendo.
You can really the influence on Bowie and the direction he chose to take 'Ziggy' in off the back of Leccy WozzerZ. _________________ Ibble obble black bobble, ibble obble out!

| It's just such fun to listen to.
Bolan is the very man for these dark times.
God bless him. _________________ Ibble obble black bobble, ibble obble out!
