Dedicated Follower Of Fashion
Written by: R. D. Davies
Lyrics:
They seek him here, they seek him there,
His clothes are loud, but never square.
It will make or break him so he's got to buy the best,
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion.
And when he does his little rounds,
'Round the boutiques of London Town,
Eagerly pursuing all the latest fads and trends,
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion.
................................................................................................................
I guess that I have always had an interest in fashion ever since I could afford to buy my own clothes. Like most people I have at times been a victim of it as in the seventies I was wearing Platform flipflops with my patched Levi Flares and shoulder bag. Even though I am 6'6" tall.
............................................................................................................
Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).
He thinks he is a flower to be looked at,
And when he pulls his frilly nylon panties right up tight,
He feels a dedicated follower of fashion.
...............................................................................................................
This was followed by a period of leather bike jackets and slogan tee shirts with sneakers and pins. Punk was cool and I was a wannabe.
..............................................................................................................
Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).
There's one thing that he loves and that is flattery.
One week he's in polka-dots, the next week he is in stripes.
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion.
...............................................................................................................
In the eighties I was wearing shoestring ties and leather jackets with white socks and loafers. Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music were the coolest band on the planet.
...........................................................................................................
They seek him here, they seek him there,
In Regent Street and Leicester Square.
Everywhere the Carnabetian army marches on,
Each one an dedicated follower of fashion.
...............................................................................................................
In the nineties I decided to create my own space with bright shirts matched with faded jeans. I was a retro-cowboy.
................................................................................................................
Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).
His world is built 'round discoteques and parties.
This pleasure-seeking individual always looks his best
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion.
..............................................................................................................
Now I just like a sharp suit and a more downbeat image and the latest fashions are no longer a must have.
...............................................................................................................
Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).
He flits from shop to shop just like a butterfly.
In matters of the cloth he is as fickle as can be,
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion.
He's a dedicated follower of fashion.
He's a dedicated follower of fashion.
.................................................................................................................
At the same time I have always loved watching women's fashions. The one fashion that has never quite made it from the catwalk to the street however is the sheer blouse.
I think this is a crying shame, as being a committed perve, I think that women have let the side down badly here. It is also the only way that you can print a picture of a woman's exposed breast in any major newspaper.
The flipside of watching women's fashion is that sometimes you can just have a bloody good laugh at the idiocy that some designers think women would want to wear.
And the very thought that a guy would want to go out with a woman dressed like a bad rehash of Ronald MacDonald has got to make you wonder where their heads are at.
My thanks to Big Mike for the format concept of this post.

I like the way you put this together daking.
I was pissed that there weren't pics of you during the time periods you specified. That would have been so cool.
I too wore platform shoes. At the time I was 6'2" tall.
