Jason B. Sad Marc Bolan and Miller Anderson- guitars Herbie Flowers- bass Tony Newman- drums Dino Dines - keyboards and synthesizer Bud Beadle- baritone sax Chris Mercer- tenor sax Marc Bolan- vocal
A distant friend of Johnny B. Goode
Jason B. Sad was a lonely lad His head was a bed for everyone His clothes was his life but his heart was a knife Inscribed on it was 'rock 'n' roll is cruel'
Take me to school, boy Leave me alone, boy Slice me a bone of the Universe
Take me to school, boy Leave me alone, boy Slice me a bone of the Universe *
Jason got weird and he pierced his ears A gypsy alone in his gallantry He met Shaky Sue, who wore only blue And they shared in their teenage misery
* Repeat
Then Jason read books and wore hard looks He swapped Sue for an artisan His winters were long and a fantastic song Grew from his head like a marigold
