Ebm           F 
You live in a world of excess 
Ebm 
where more is more 
    F  
and less is much less 
Ebm           F 
A day without fame 
 
is a waste 
      Ebm 
and a question of need 
       F 
is a question of taste 
          Ebm 
You're so flamboyant 
Dm           Gm 
the way you look 
            Bb 
It gets you so much attention 
          Ebm 
Your sole employment 
Dm         Gm 
is getting more 
          Bb  
You want police intervention 
          Ebm 
You're so flamboyant 
Dm          Gm 
the way you live 
            Bb 
You really care that they stare 
              Ebm 
And the press deployment 
Dm        Gm 
is always there 
              Bb 
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 
 

Ebm         F 
Every actor needs 
   Ebm  Dm    
an audi-ence 
Ebm 
Every action is 
  Ebm    F 
a perfor-mance 
Ebm          F 
It all takes courage 
F        Ebm 
You know it 
 F   Ebm          F 
Just crossing the street 
Ebm        F      Ebm 
well, it's almost heroic 
          Ebm 
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 
You're so flamboyant
