"Stepping Into Line" lyrics

"Stepping Into Line"

I didn't want to a-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Out of date, coloured bad, suit not suiting, looking sad

A-You should know, it stays the same
No individuals, things ever change
A-But if it's new, it's in the past
Everything goes by so fast
Upside world, supporting cast
A-But don't cross it off and throw it away
It'll be in fashion by next friday
Hoping all clothes have something to say

(Take it away!)
(Ha-ha)

The "in vogue" clock a-goes spinning round
Space age fashion lifts off the ground
Just accept a new face
Try a new commonplace
Instead of looking at the praise
A-But can't you see I'm standing still?
Catch the future and the past tense made me ill (ill!)
