The Former Enfant Terrible Songtext
von Pet Shop Boys

Gimme a bandwagon and I′ll jump on it
Gimme a bandwagon and I'll jump on it

Pity him, the former
Enfant terrible
His career in aspic
Bent on pleasure
Gamely attempting
The tricky transition
From ageing outrage
To national treasure

Gimme a bandwagon and I′ll jump on it
A drum to bang and I'll thump on it
Criticism and I'll dump on it
If you don′t like it, you′ll be lumpin' it

He won′t rest while there are cameras around
He'll start a quarrel
For the moral high-ground
It′s not enough to win a brace of top awards
He won't be happy ′til he's in the House of Lords


Gimme a bandwagon and I'll jump on it
A drum to bang and I′ll thump on it
Criticism and I′ll dump on it
If you don't like it, you′ll be lumpin' it

At self-promotion he′s a master
Although the midweek's a disaster
They used to fix things so much easier
The good old days were fun and sleazier

Pity him, the former
Enfant terrible
His career in aspic
Bent on pleasure
Gamely attempting
The tricky transition
From ageing outrage
To national treasure

Gimme a bandwagon and I′ll jump on it
A drum to bang and I'll thump on it
Criticism and I'll dump on it
If you don′t like it, you′ll be lumpin' it

Bring it on
