Pet Shop Boys - The Former Enfant Terrible lyrics

[Pet Shop Boys - The Former Enfant Terrible lyrics]

"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 till 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
Bring it on
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
