the song, in fact, might be about (yugoslav style) communism. the clue is provided by the lines "a rolls royce/is good for my voice/you can't fool the children of the revolution." martial tito (who DID possess a rolls royce) was once quoted as saying something similar. he said (to the best of my recollection) that he needed a rolls royce in order to have confidence in himself, that he had more confidence in himself while he was being driven around in a rolls royce than when he was at the wheel of a used yugo. tito said that a rolls royce was good for his speaking voice and that,"you can't fool the leader of the revolution." of course, tito was being sarcastic. he knew that he hypocritical, that rolls royces really had NOTHING to do with communist style revolution. thus, the bolan song is an ambiguous consideration of titoist communism. bolan admires the application of marxism within tito's yugoslavia, while at the same time acknowledging the hypocrises of the yugoslav communist system. (i may be a bit fuzzy about the tito quote. it's been a long time since he's been alive.)
