The line is, "What's it like to be a loon? "
double meaning is "What's it like to be alone" then "I liken it to a balloon"
Meaning floating through the air like a LOON is like floating in the air as a BALLOON but his double meaning is that being alone is, to him, similar to if one were a balloon floating above & away from everything & everyone, separate from normal life & human interaction with others. One of his many MANY double meaning lyrics. He was clever, maybe even (at times)...profound.

He was so cool, sitting on the stage singing and playing very few dead or alive have the balls to pull that off, he was way way ahead of his time, a true musical visionary.

my most favourite song in the whole wide world - never thought it would be possible to have a favourite song as there is so many brilliant ones but there is just something about "Cosmic Dancer". LOVE Marc Bolan, he's kinda like the musical dr. seuss, it makes me so happy lol

I remember being so into Trex & Marc Bolan with the slider album. I would listen over and over. A lot of my friends were not into him like I was because (i think) the flashy atrire. They made it seem gay, so being a young man I was going along with the crowd and pretended not to like the whole Marc Bolan thing when around them. Looking back at it I would have to say he is still one of my favorite artists. The sound, the look, the original style. Great.

Marc: "Genuine concern for my audience, I'd better ask them if they're okay-"
Fangirls: "HE ASKED ME A QUESTION HE WAS LOOKING RIGHT AT ME WHO ARE THESE OTHER BITCHES ANYWAY HE LOVES ME OMG"
Marc: "*poker face*"

This song was inspired by Jobriath Boone, a glam rock singer 73/74 who later died of aids in 1985

Huh...interesting. This song was included on "Electric Warrior", released in Sept. 1971. Marc must have known Mr. Boone prior to 73/74....
Cool info! XXXX
