Being trendy, being hip,
Selfie shots, narcisists,
The have got, the have nots,
Metamorphic mugshots,
Airbrush kits,
Keeping up with the Jones',
Exclusive brands,
They don't like phonies.
Excessive clothing, footwear caps,
Face that fits, ticks on daps,
'Harping' on about fashion queens,
Wanna be glossy, magazines,
Stick like models, far too thin,
Wanna be like her, wanna be like him,
Fashion fits, that's the game,
Spending all your money,
Looking all the same.

Can't afford fine silk or diamond rings,
Charity shop shopping,
You can buy, you can bring,
Perhaps not latest trends or emerald rings sold,
But your old new new old trade,
Help's others,
Pure gold!

They're either woven, knitted, felted or sewn,
But there are now clothing mountains,
And the mountains keep growing,
Whether they're synthetic nylons, combined polyester,
Enticing adverts,
Share holding investors,
Paying with plastic tap here please,
Buying on the never never sleaze.
People in poverty, gratuitous greed,
Fashionable fallacies, corruptable creeds,
Talk about politics, talk about fashion,
Virtue signalers, ill-founded passion.

Fashion fits, that's the game,
Fashion fits, that's to blame,
Feed the fashion, feed the fire,
Fantastic fools, their hearts desire,
Spinning yarns, spinning wheels,
Slow them down, find real deals,
Charity shops or market stalls,
Be original, walking tall,
Looking retro, looking chique,
Be yourself, a guru geek,
Too much plastic, too much clothing,
Avaricious people, wanting, owning,
Materialistic, one track minds,
Don't look what they've got,
Look at mine!

Fickle folk, capricious craze,
Future fashion's had its days
It's not what you wear,
It's the you within,
It's not a fashion fare,
The bling, ink in skin, piercings,
Be yourself, make things last,
Don't stay in vogue,
That's for the past,
Fashion in favour,
Fashion in homes,
Fashionable people,
All looking cloned,
Fashion seeking, future fads,
Keeping up with fashion's expensively sad!

Models in vogue
Fashion in film,
Fashion in adverts,
Top of the bill,
Don't be sucked in,
Let them keep it,
Fame, fads, it's no secret,
Victoria beckons,
Don't play their game,
I'll tell you what they want,
What they really really want,
Want even more money,
Corporate shame,
Don't try to be in with the in crowd,
Fashion mad queen or king,
Be proud of your personality,
The person within!

Can't afford fine silk or diamond rings,
Charity shop shopping,
You can buy, you can bring,
Perhaps not latest trends or emerald rings sold,
But your old new new old trade,
Help's others,
Pure gold!
