Over deze songtekst:
Een nummer geschreven door gitarist en schrijver van The Kings, Ray Davies in 1966. Het gaat over fashion, mode. In de jaren '60 was Londen het centrum van de mode met oa winkels Carnaby Street. Het nummer is een satire op al de hype rond modeverschijnselen die hij daar zag. Door de tijdsdruk die de platenmaatschappij gaf, was Davies niet helemaal gelukkig met de uitgebrachte versie. Daarom zal je op latere albums verschillende andere versies vinden.
They seek him here, they seek him there, His clothes are loud, but never square. It will make or break him so hes got to buy the best, cause hes 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 hes 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). Theres one thing that he loves and that is flattery. One week hes in polka-dots, the next week he is in stripes. cause hes 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 an 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 discoteques and parties. This pleasure-seeking individual always looks his best cause hes 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 hes a dedicated follower of fashion. Hes a dedicated follower of fashion. Hes a dedicated follower of fashion.
