Five-minute fashion's never here to stay
Five-minute fashion's always going away
Spending all your money down your local High St.
Spending all your money to look so neat

Five-minute fashion's never here to stay
You worry about the fashions changing every day
You was a punk
You was a mod
What are you now?

See me pissing up and I'm totally high
Spending all your pennies, you can change your ways
Used to be a mod then you took some speed
Now you're broke and you look so mean

Five-minute fashion's never here to stay
You worry about the fashions changing every day
You was a skinhead
You was a mod
Punk rocker!

Is it really worth it spending all your dough on clothes?
You look just so neat from your head to your toes
Why be the smartest looking in the world
You know you're always changing just for the girls

Five-minute fashion's never here to stay
You worry about the fashions changing every day?
You was a punk
You was a mod
You're a skinhead

Can you stay in fashion for just a night?
Then we'll have something to show our fight
Isn't it enough that you've been ???
You're a five-minute fashion every Friday night

Five-minute fashion's never here to stay
You worry about the fashions changing every day
You was a punk
And a mod
What are you now?
