Lyrics and translation The Kinks - Dedicated Follower of Fashion (Session Excerpt - Takes 1-3)
They
seek
him
here,
they
seek
him
there,
Ils
te
cherchent
ici,
ils
te
cherchent
là-bas,
His
clothes
are
loud,
but
never
square.
Tes
vêtements
sont
criards,
mais
jamais
carré.
It
will
make
or
break
him
so
he's
got
to
buy
the
best,
Ça
va
te
faire
ou
te
casser,
alors
tu
dois
acheter
le
meilleur,
'Cause
he's
a
dedicated
follower
of
fashion.
Parce
que
tu
es
un
fervent
partisan
de
la
mode.
And
when
he
does
his
little
rounds,
Et
quand
tu
fais
tes
petits
tours,
'Round
the
boutiques
of
London
Town,
Autour
des
boutiques
de
Londres,
Eagerly
pursuing
all
the
latest
fads
and
trends,
Avidement
à
la
poursuite
de
toutes
les
dernières
modes
et
tendances,
'Cause
he's
a
dedicated
follower
of
fashion.
Parce
que
tu
es
un
fervent
partisan
de
la
mode.
Oh
yes
he
is
(oh
yes
he
is),
oh
yes
he
is
(oh
yes
he
is).
Oh
oui,
tu
l'es
(oh
oui,
tu
l'es),
oh
oui,
tu
l'es
(oh
oui,
tu
l'es).
He
thinks
he
is
a
flower
to
be
looked
at,
Tu
penses
être
une
fleur
à
regarder,
And
when
he
pulls
his
frilly
nylon
panties
right
up
tight,
Et
quand
tu
remontes
tes
petites
culottes
en
nylon
à
volants
bien
serrées,
He
feels
a
dedicated
follower
of
fashion.
Tu
te
sens
comme
un
fervent
partisan
de
la
mode.
Oh
yes
he
is
(oh
yes
he
is),
oh
yes
he
is
(oh
yes
he
is).
Oh
oui,
tu
l'es
(oh
oui,
tu
l'es),
oh
oui,
tu
l'es
(oh
oui,
tu
l'es).
There's
one
thing
that
he
loves
and
that
is
flattery.
Il
y
a
une
chose
que
tu
aimes,
et
c'est
la
flatterie.
One
week
he's
in
polka-dots,
the
next
week
he
is
in
stripes.
Une
semaine,
tu
es
en
pois,
la
semaine
d'après,
tu
es
en
rayures.
'Cause
he's
a
dedicated
follower
of
fashion.
Parce
que
tu
es
un
fervent
partisan
de
la
mode.
They
seek
him
here,
they
seek
him
there,
Ils
te
cherchent
ici,
ils
te
cherchent
là-bas,
In
Regent
Street
and
Leicester
Square.
Dans
Regent
Street
et
Leicester
Square.
Everywhere
the
Carnabetian
army
marches
on,
Partout
où
l'armée
Carnabétienne
marche,
Each
one
an
dedicated
follower
of
fashion.
Chaque
membre
est
un
fervent
partisan
de
la
mode.
Oh
yes
he
is
(oh
yes
he
is),
oh
yes
he
is
(oh
yes
he
is).
Oh
oui,
tu
l'es
(oh
oui,
tu
l'es),
oh
oui,
tu
l'es
(oh
oui,
tu
l'es).
His
world
is
built
'round
discotheques
and
parties.
Ton
monde
est
construit
autour
des
discothèques
et
des
fêtes.
This
pleasure-seeking
individual
always
looks
his
best
Cet
individu
en
quête
de
plaisir
est
toujours
au
top
'Cause
he's
a
dedicated
follower
of
fashion.
Parce
que
tu
es
un
fervent
partisan
de
la
mode.
Oh
yes
he
is
(oh
yes
he
is),
oh
yes
he
is
(oh
yes
he
is).
Oh
oui,
tu
l'es
(oh
oui,
tu
l'es),
oh
oui,
tu
l'es
(oh
oui,
tu
l'es).
He
flits
from
shop
to
shop
just
like
a
butterfly.
Tu
voltiges
de
boutique
en
boutique
comme
un
papillon.
In
matters
of
the
cloth
he
is
as
fickle
as
can
be,
En
matière
de
tissu,
tu
es
aussi
capricieux
que
possible,
'Cause
he's
a
dedicated
follower
of
fashion.
Parce
que
tu
es
un
fervent
partisan
de
la
mode.
He's
a
dedicated
follower
of
fashion.

es
un
fervent
partisan
de
la
mode.
He's
a
dedicated
follower
of
fashion.
