After The Fire - It's High Fashion lyrics

rate me

It's high fashion, first they sell you a lie

And let you think if you try perhaps they'll let you find it

It's high fashion, like tomorrow I say

Forever one day away, you'll always be behind it

They show us pictures in a glamour book

And say that next year this is how we will look

I think it's time we got ourselves of their hook

It's high fashion, I'm the face of the week

Someone to smile but not speak, this is a silent feature

It's high fashion, who's that face of the year

No-one who comes from round here, they build a special creature

Then everyone must try and look like their fake

With help from buying all the products they make

That way they get the biggest slice of the cake

Just at the point when all your money is spent

On trying to keep up with the latest of trends

They o and change 'round all the fashions again

It's high fashion, but it's all back to front

They've got us just where they want, that's why we pay their prices

It's high fashion - they know if it was gone

We would all suffer from an identity crisis

And when I told them that I thought it a shame

To have to pay so much for looking the same

They laughed and said it's really only a game - Ho Ho Ho!

(Refrain) If they think that they can sell it - they will
