(I Fell In Love With A) Fashion Victim Lyrics

In an effort to impress me,
He grew his hair like Bobby Gillespie
He didn't see that they had tricked him
I fell in love with a fashion victim

Bought more clothes than he could wear
Stayed up all night taking in flares

Met a girl who works in Topman,
took his old clothes back to Oxfam
He didn't see that they had tricked him
I fell in love with a fashion victim

Now his jeans flare (...?)
He heard flares will be the new thing
And now I know I am unhappy
Now I know why he never smiles
'Cos when you love a fashion victim,
Happiness keeps going out of style
Happiness keeps going out of style

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
