Stepping Into Line - BBC Live Session - 27/8/79 John Peel Show
I didn't want to
I 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Pretty boring, pretty drab, out of date, colours bad
Suit not suiting, looking sad
You should know, it stays the same
No individual's things ever change
But if it's new, it's in the past
Everything goes by so fast
Upstaged by a supporting cast
But I dust it off don't throw it away
It'll be in fashion by next Friday
Hoping our clothes have something say
Saxophone!
The En vogue clock goes spinning round
Space age fashion lifts off the ground
Just accept the new faith
Try and look common place
Instead of looking out of place
But can't you see I'm staying still?
That rich little bastards make me ill
I 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Pretty boring, pretty drab, out of date, colours bad
Suit not suiting, looking sad
You should know, it stays the same
No individual's things ever change
But if it's new, it's in the past
Everything goes by so fast
Upstaged by a supporting cast
But I dust it off don't throw it away
It'll be in fashion by next Friday
Hoping our clothes have something say
Saxophone!
The En vogue clock goes spinning round
Space age fashion lifts off the ground
Just accept the new faith
Try and look common place
Instead of looking out of place
But can't you see I'm staying still?
That rich little bastards make me ill
