This song was originally written by Marc Bolan for T. Rex and recorded on The Slider in 1972. The Bauhaus version speeds the song up and changes the lyrics a little bit.

You…you’re my main man

Golden nose slim
I know…I know where you’ve been

Purple pie Pete
His lips are like lightning
Girls melt in the heat

You’re my main man

I said Bobby’s alright
He’s a natural born poet
He’s just out of sight

I said Jungle-faced Jake
I said make no mistake
About jungle-faced Jake

I said Bobby’s alright
He’s a natural born poet
He’s just out of sight

I said automatic shoes
Give me 3D vision
And the California blues
