Momus - Who Is Mr Jones? lyrics

Bob Dylan at the height of his fame
Got asked the same question again and again
In a forest of microphones
'Tell us, Bob, who really is Mr Jones?'

Dylan replied: 'He's a pinboy
He also wears suspenders
It's not so hard to picture him
In a room with three walls and a midget
A naked man and a geek
And I am the voice in his dream
Speaking in his sleep'

Bob Dylan at the height of his fame
Got asked the same question again and again
In a forest of microphones
'Tell us, Bob, who really is Mr Jones?'

Dylan, probably bored to death
Is also reported to have said:
'I saw him come into the room one night
He looked just like a camel
And proceeded to put his
Eyes into his pocket'

He's a real person, you know him
You don't have to be so imaginative
The answer is blindingly obvious:

Mr Jones is a man who doesn't
Know who Mr Jones is
