Songtext von The Former Enfant Terrible

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
