Lyrics
The former enfant terrible
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
From
Did you see me coming?
Lyrics T
- That's my impression
- The boy who couldn't keep his clothes on
- The calm before the storm
- The dumpling song
- The end of the world
- The former enfant terrible
- The ghost of myself
- The loving kind
- The man who has everything
- The night I fell in love
- The only one
- The resurrectionist
- The Samurai in autumn
- The Sodom and Gomorrah show
- The sound of the atom splitting
- The survivors
- The theatre
- The truck-driver and his mate
- The view from your balcony
- The way it used to be
- This must be the place I waited years to leave
- This used to be the future
- Time on my hands
- To face the truth
- To speak is a sin
- To step aside
- Together
- Tonight is forever
- Too many people
- Tranquilizer
- Transparent
- Try it (I'm in love with a married man)
- Twentieth Century
- Two divided by zero
