After a Fashion

Don't speak to me of changing scenes

Or what you saw in magazines

I've watched you change

Follow every move, oh

A dancing clown

Where design turns you round

To spend a lifetime keeping hold

Of slipping years and not get old

You hear the cry but can't be told

You're only chasing

After a fashion

After a fashion

After a fashion

Hey-ho, you wear it well

And if you felt the sympathy

And if you saw what others see

Through different eyes

You might see something true, new

An empty shell

With no taste and no sell

You try the stance of those you know

But dance the dance of those below

You lost your grip but won't let go

You know you're chasing

After a fashion

After a fashion

After a fashion

Hey-ho, you wear it well

After a fashion

After a fashion

Hey-ho, hey-ho

Hey-ho, you wear it well

Hey-ho, you wear it well

After a fashion

After a fashion

Hey-ho, you wear it well

After a fashion

After a fashion

Hey-ho, you wear it well

After a fashion

After a fashion

Hey-ho

After a fashion

After a fashion

Ho-ho, you wear it well

After a fashion

After a fashion

Hey-ho, you wear it well
