about

Originally intended as a B-side, it's about a serial killer who gets his kicks from murdering people who wear anything and everything that is considered 'fashionable' by celebrity style gurus etc. - Tom

lyrics

Cut price ties so cheap they’re hanging from the rack
Slave labour stitched so neat and tidy packed
I’m buying one to strangle you when you turn your back

Another fashion victim neutralised
Gotta love those cut price ties

Cut price shoes they shine a method of attack
Secret weapon hidden bruising steel toe-caps
I’m wearing some to kick you lifeless for a laugh

Another fashion victim black and blue
Gotta love those cut price shoes

Y-fronts no-one wants, their prices slashed
I’m stealing some to smother you while you’re in the bath
Easy pickings for a willing psychopath

Another fashion victim neutralised
Gotta love those cut price ‘y’s

Tie you down in your dressing gown
Mangle you with sandals
Get reckless with your necklace
Leave your head at a funny angle

Another fashion victim neutralised
Another fashion victim neutralised
Another fashion victim neutralised…

… You shouldn’t be seen dead in that dress.
