Warriors of Style (Alt version)
We're the dandy warriors of the Neo-Regency
We fight against the current trend of blandness and conformity
Our music is a blend of glam rock, disco and punk
We're here to rid the record charts of all the other boring rotten junk
We don't carry rifles or bullets or swords
The sharpest thing that we possess is our dress sense of course
We are warriors and fashion is our weapons
We are warriors and fashion is our weapons
Bad men say I'm copying the New Romantic sound
But I'm ten times more original than any other band around
I've never heard Duran Duran or Classix Nouveaux
I've got a CD by Japan but I very rarely play it though
OK, I admit
I do like them a bit
But I also like some other things
Like robots, fops and harlequins
We are warriors and fashion is our weapons
We are warriors and fashion is our weapons
And even though you fool your mates that you don't like what you see
Down below that plain white vest, you're a dandy just like me
Don't have a go at a warrior, it's not very wise
He's ten thousand miles better than the other guys
Like the American Native, he is extremely innovative
And he's very creative to boot
Don't laugh at a warrior's tights, he is not a buffoon
You'll have to eat your own words with a knife and spoon
Don't giggle at the way he's got his make-up arranged
Because there's nothing Le Funny about Gary Le Strange
