Hair
The Sensational Alex Harvey Band Lyrics

She asks me why
Someone is asking the singer why they have so much hair

I'm just a hairy guy
The singer has a lot of hair on their body

I'm hairy noon and night
The singer is hairy all the time, day or night

Hair that's a fright
The artist's hair is scary or alarming to some people

I'm hairy high and low
The artist has hair in various parts of their body

Don't ask me why
The singer doesn't know why they have so much hair

Don't know
The singer has no explanation for their hairiness

It's not for lack of bread
Having a lot of hair has nothing to do with the artist's financial situation

Like the Grateful Dead
This is likely an analogy to the band's name - the artist's hair is not related to being grateful or dead

Darling
The artist is addressing someone affectionately

Gimme head with hair
The singer is asking for oral sex from someone with hair

Long beautiful hair
The artist desires hair that is long and beautiful

Shining, gleaming,
The desired hair is shiny and gleaming

Streaming, flaxen, waxen
The hair desired by the singer is flowing, blonde, and may be treated with wax or other styling products

Give me down to there hair
The singer wants hair that is long enough to reach a certain point

Shoulder length or longer
The hair desired by the artist should be at least shoulder length

Here baby, there mama
The artist is addressing various people, likely suggesting they want to have sex with them

Everywhere daddy daddy
The singer's desires are directed towards everyone, regardless of gender

Flow it, show it
The singer wants to show off their hair

Long as God can grow it
The artist wants their hair to be as long as it can possibly grow

Let it fly in the breeze
The artist wants to let their hair blow in the wind

And get caught in the trees
The artist doesn't care if their hair gets tangled in the trees

Give a home to the fleas in my hair
The singer has fleas in their hair

A home for fleas
The artist's hair is a home for fleas

A hive for buzzing bees
The singer's hair attracts bees and may appear like a hive

A nest for birds
The singer's hair is like a nest for birds to make a home in

There ain't no words
The singer can't find the right words to describe their hair

For the beauty, the splendor, the wonder
The artist believes their hair is beautiful and amazing

Of my
Referring back to the beauty of the hair

I want it long, straight, curly, fuzzy
The singer wants hair that can be any of these styles

Snaggy, shaggy, ratty, matty
The singer doesn't care if their hair appears neglected with snags and tangles

Oily, greasy, fleecy
The hair may be dirty and oiler than normal

Knotted, polka-dotted
The hair may be knotted and/or have spots

Twisted, beaded, braided
The artist wants decorative elements added to their hair

Powdered, flowered, and confettied
The singer wants their hair decorated with various materials

Bangled, tangled, spangled, and spaghettied!
The artist wants their hair ornamented in various ways, possibly including jewelry like bangles, as well as more unconventional ornaments

Oh say can you see
The singer is quoting the US national anthem

My eyes if you can
The singer is asking someone to look at their eyes

Then my hair's too short
The singer's hair isn't long enough, thus the eyes can be seen

Down to here
The artist wants their hair to be at a specific length

Down to where
The desired length of the artist's hair is unclear

It stops by itself
The singer suggests their hair stops growing at a certain length without needing to be cut

They'll be ga ga at the go go
People will be excited or amazed when they see the singer

When they see me in my toga
The artist may be wearing a garment similar to those worn in ancient Rome

My toga made of blond
The artist's toga is made of blonde hair, similar to their own

Brilliantined
The artist's hair is slicked down with a product called brillantine

Biblical hair
The singer's hair is reminiscent of hairstyles depicted in biblical times

My hair like Jesus wore it
The artist is comparing their hair to that of Jesus Christ

Hallelujah I adore it
The singer loves their hair and praises its beauty

Hallelujah Mary loved her son
A reference to the bible, but the connection to the singer's hair is unclear

Why don't my mother love me?
The singer has a difficult relationship with their mother and is likely using the reference to Mary to make a joke

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
The artist repeats the word 'hair' multiple times

Flow it, show it
The artist again invites others to admire their hair

Long as God can grow it
Repeating the idea that the singer wants long hair

My hair
Referring to the singer's hair again
