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
