It's the King of the Rumbling Spires,
Light all the fires,

Mighty eagles pair

Light all the fires,
It's the King and he's coming home.

Marc Bolan saved my life 💜

Marc is the greatest Cosmic dancer and the only king of rumbling spires.
I lives forever in my heart!!!.
@paulvallance4347
Those early Bolan songs were fantastically quirky and creative. Hippie-dippy but totally captivating and worth revisiting, especially with a nice smoke.
@KreapOfficial
less hippy and more psychedelic glam when he went electric.
@leeflea2874
A nice smoke…now thats my language
@josedejesusfernandezadam7424
He lives forever in my heart!.

This song is the ultimate example of the Glam Descend. An exemplary piece of tumbling chord style, Bolan goes out on a new limb here that the likes of Eno and Bowie would soon flower upon.
