Pete Townshend - Let's Get Pretentious lyrics

Put on an act

Let's get portentous

Embroider fact

Exaggerate it

Dress up the bland

Let's overrate it

Let the critics be damned

Let's get sensuous

Put on some some airs

Let's drink kahluas

All bored on the stairs

Let's get excited

When we say hello

Let's be delighted

Though it's nobody we know

I don't know much

But I know what I like

I don't know much

But so and so said such and such

Let's find a market

For sparkling wit

Let's make a target

Of anyone with a hit

Let'skeep some secrets

Let's make them up

Put them together

Then break them up

I don't know much

But I know what I like
