Lyrics and translation The Kinks - Dedicated Follower of Fashion (Session Excerpt - Takes 1-3)
They
seek
him
here,
they
seek
him
there
On
le
cherche
ici,
on
le
cherche
là,
His
clothes
are
loud,
but
never
square
Ses
vêtements
sont
voyants,
mais
jamais
ringards.
It
will
make
or
break
him
so
he's
got
to
buy
the
best
Ça
passe
ou
ça
casse,
alors
il
doit
acheter
le
meilleur,
'Cause
he's
a
dedicated
follower
of
fashion
Parce
que
c'est
un
partisan
dévoué
de
la
mode.
And
when
he
does
his
little
rounds
Et
quand
il
fait
sa
petite
tournée,
'Round
the
boutiques
of
London
town
Dans
les
boutiques
de
Londres,
Eagerly
pursuing
all
the
latest
fads
and
trends
Poursuivant
avec
empressement
toutes
les
dernières
tendances,
'Cause
he's
a
dedicated
follower
of
fashion
Parce
que
c'est
un
partisan
dévoué
de
la
mode.
Oh
yes,
he
is
(Oh
yes,
he
is)
Oh
oui,
il
l'est
(Oh
oui,
il
l'est)
Oh
yes,
he
is
(Oh
yes,
he
is)
Oh
oui,
il
l'est
(Oh
oui,
il
l'est)
He
thinks
he
is
a
flower
to
be
looked
at
Il
se
prend
pour
une
fleur
qu'on
admire,
And
when
he
pulls
his
frilly
nylon
panties
right
up
tight
Et
quand
il
remonte
bien
haut
ses
petites
culottes
en
nylon,
He
feels
a
dedicated
follower
of
fashion
Il
se
sent
comme
un
partisan
dévoué
de
la
mode.
Oh
yes,
he
is
(Oh
yes,
he
is)
Oh
oui,
il
l'est
(Oh
oui,
il
l'est)
Oh
yes,
he
is
(Oh
yes,
he
is)
Oh
oui,
il
l'est
(Oh
oui,
il
l'est)
There's
one
thing
that
he
loves
and
that
is
flattery
Il
y
a
une
chose
qu'il
adore
et
c'est
la
flatterie,
One
week
he's
in
polka-dots,
the
next
week
he's
in
stripes
Une
semaine
il
est
à
pois,
la
semaine
suivante
il
est
à
rayures,
'Cause
he's
a
dedicated
follower
of
fashion
Parce
que
c'est
un
partisan
dévoué
de
la
mode.
They
seek
him
here,
they
seek
him
there
On
le
cherche
ici,
on
le
cherche
là,
In
Regent
Street
and
Leicester
Square
Dans
Regent
Street
et
Leicester
Square,
Everywhere
the
Carnabetian
army
marches
on
Partout
où
l'armée
carnabyenne
marche,
Each
one
a
dedicated
follower
of
fashion
Chacun
étant
un
partisan
dévoué
de
la
mode.
Oh
yes,
he
is
(Oh

Oh
yes,
he
is
(Oh
yes,
he
is)
Oh
oui,
il
l'est
(Oh
oui,
il
l'est)
His
world
is
built
'round
discotheques
and
parties
Son
monde
est
fait
de
discothèques
et
de
fêtes,
This
pleasure-seeking
individual
always
looks
his
best
Cet
hédoniste
est
toujours
tiré
à
quatre
épingles,
'Cause
he's
a
dedicated
follower
of
fashion
Parce
que
c'est
un
partisan
dévoué
de
la
mode.
Oh
yes,
he
is
(Oh
yes,
he
is)
Oh
oui,
il
l'est
(Oh
oui,
il
l'est)
Oh
yes,
he
is
(Oh
yes,
he
is)
Oh
oui,
il
l'est
(Oh
oui,
il
l'est)
He
flits
from
shop
to
shop
just
like
a
butterfly
Il
voltige
de
boutique
en
boutique
comme
un
papillon,
In
matters
of
the
cloth,
he
is
as
fickle
as
can
be
En
matière
de
vêtements,
il
est
aussi
volage
que
possible,
'Cause
he's
a
dedicated
follower
of
fashion
Parce
que
c'est
un
partisan
dévoué
de
la
mode.
