When the jester sang for the King and Queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
And a voice that came from you and me
Oh, and while the King was looking down
The jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
I think the jester is a musician that performed(maybe opened) for another musician who was #1 at the time.
And the line when the king was looking down, is saying that he was becoming less popular.
The fact that he says thorny crown is a religious refference, if he was Christian or not, and I think that if we contemplated that long enough, we may know who he is talking about. It possibly means some one who is humble, or maybe some one who sings gospels?
I'm far from the era that this song reffers to so it's difficult for me to make the connections, but I think if you can figure out who the king and queen are for sure, figuring out who the jester is would be fairly easy.
The jester is probably a "rebel" because of the James Dean refference, and the voice isn't reffering to their actual voice, but to what they sang about. They probably sang about the people, "a voice from you and me."
Like youir interpretation better than the usual "buddy holly" one. For what it's worth, you can check out my explanation on this site dated "chrls1on November 26, 2013", James Dean actually had a clean-cut lonely teenage rebel persona at the time. Best, Charlie
