You don't have to be up to date Being trendy ain't de rigeur P'raps you'd like me to demonstrate Fashion goes in a blur What was once oh so very hip Simply stimulates laughter 'Cos what always comes after Is now the must have! So the cycle goes round and round 'Til you're dizzy and lost your way Take a step back and stand your ground Spot when life's a cliché Keeping up with the Jones is hard and yet I know I'll try so hard to get Ev'ry thing that will keep me up to date With you ♪ You don't have to go with the flow 'In the swim' could mean you may drown If your hope is to steal the show You must aim for the crown Fashion's not what you think it is It's what other guys follow 'Cos it's usually quite hollow Like the emperor's clothes! The agenda that others write Isn't written in blood on stone Not a matter of black and white No the script is my own 'Cos I know I can, find another way Knowing that what I have to say Isn't gonna be moved by any shove 'Cos we all know that When you're talking love I'll be so up to date with you
