The Ballad of Fab Ian
Sitting here in the house of tension
Remembering the days of Fab Ian
When his flip-sides burnt down the evening
And we sons set down our lessons
And picked up our silver keys to Eden
Lying here like a con descending
Down the years with Fab Ian
When his words punched us like headlines
And we pupils would die laughing
As we bumped all about in mod heaven
Don’t follow me
Don’t love me
Don’t buy me
I'm Fab Ian
Don’t follow me
Don’t love me
Don’t buy me
I'm Fab Ian
Watching them all tell a vision
Encounters with the late Fab Ian
When his tracks were trains of thought
He dangled hooks and we were caught
A generous generation of love’s astronauts
Don’t follow me
Don’t love me
Don’t buy me
I’m Fab Ian
