I didn't want to a-leave you behind
But your clothes weren't stepping into line
Too much self-pity, not enough nitty-gritty
And just when you were looking pretty
Pretty boring, pretty drab
Out of date, coloured bad
Suit not suiting, looking sad

 a-You should know it stays the same
No individual things ever change
a-But if it's new it's in the past
Everything goes twice as fast
Upside world, supporting cast
a-But don't cross it off and throw it away
It'll be in fashion by next Friday
Hoping all clothes have something to say
Take it away!

 Ha ha

 The in-vogue clock goes a-spinning round
Space age fashion lifts off the ground
Just accept a new face
Try and look commonplace
Instead of looking at the praise
a-But can't you see I'm standing still
Catch the future and the past tense made me ill, ill!
