The Former Enfant Terrible Lyrics - Pet Shop Boys

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 

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
