Flamboyant - Pet Shop Boys, Chris Lowe

You live in a world of excess

Where more is more

And less is much less

A day without fame

Is a waste

And a question of need

Is a question of taste

And you’re so flamboyant

The way you look

It gets you so much attention

Your sole employment

Is getting more

You want police intervention

You’re so flamboyant

The way you live

You really care that they stare

And the press deployment

Is always there

It’s what you do for enjoyment

You live in a time of decay

When the worth of a man

Is how much he can play

Every day

All the public must know

Where you are, what you do

'Cause your life is a show and

You’re so flamboyant

The way you live

And it’s not even demeaning

You’re so flamboyant

It’s like a drug

You use to give your life meaning

You’re so flamboyant

The way you look

It gets you so much attention

Your sole employment

Is getting more

You want police intervention

Every actor needs

An audience

Every action is

A performance

It all takes courage

You know it

Just crossing the street

Well, it’s almost heroic

You’re so flamboyant

There you are

At another preview

In a pose

The artist and you

To look so loud

May be considered tacky

Collectors wear black clothes by Issey Miyake

You’re so flamboyant

The way you look

It gets you so much attention

Your sole employment

Is getting more

You want police intervention

You’re so flamboyant

The way you live

You really care that they stare

And the press deployment

Is always there

It’s what you do for enjoyment

You’re so flamboyant
