Dedicated Follower Of Fashion 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.
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.
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.
They seek him here, they seek him there,
In Regent Street and Leicester Square.
Everywhere the Carnabetian army marches on,
Each one a dedicated follower of fashion.
Oh yes he is (oh yes he is), oh yes he is (oh yes he is).
His world is built 'round discotheques and parties.
This pleasure-seeking individual always looks his best
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion.
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.
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.
'Round the boutiques of London Town,
Eagerly pursuing all the latest fads and trends,
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion.
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.
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 Regent Street and Leicester Square.
Everywhere the Carnabetian army marches on,
Each one a dedicated follower of fashion.
His world is built 'round discotheques and parties.
This pleasure-seeking individual always looks his best
'Cause he's a dedicated follower of fashion.
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.

A truly fantastic song. If The Beatles had done it, we'd have never heard the end of it.
Taking the mick out of all of the swinging 60's fashionista's, that all had to have the right clothes and be seen in the right places.
In London the hotspot to buy clothes was the boutiques on Carnaby Street, and what you were seen wearing was just as important as how high your single charted!
I always thought felt Ray was having fun at Dave's expense with this song, because Ray seemed to care very little about his appearance compared to Dave who always wore outrageous get-ups and really got off on being the pop star pretty boy of the band, or the "dedicated follower of fashion" the title suggests.
Absolutely love this song. "If The Beatles had done it, we'd have never heard the end of it" agreed.
Song reminds me of all those highfalutin cool folks who think dressing fancy makes them better than you.
I agree with BoHo about the beatles thing. The kinks rock and this is one of their coolest songs along with lola and plastic man.
Brilliant song
Brilliant indeed.
"The Carnabetian Army..." Brilliant
The lines:
"He thinks he is a flower to be looked at And when he pulls his frilly nylon panties right up tight"
make me wonder if it is about a trannie
In fact it's about George Best, the football player.
"And when he pulls his frilly nylon panties right up tight, He feels a dedicated follower of fashion" are you sure its about best? seems like it's about lola a transvestite....kool
