Christian Dior,
you wasted your life
on aroma and clothes
fabric and dyes

Christian Dior,
you wasted your life
on grandeur and style
and making the poor rich smile

You could have run wild
on the backstreets of Lyon or Marseille
reckless and legless and stoned
impregnating women
or kissing mad street-boys from Napoli
who couldn't even write their own name

Christian Dior
you wasted your life
sensually stroking the weaves of a sleeve

You could have run wild
on the backstreets of Lyon or Marseille
reckless and legless and stoned
impregnating women
or kissing mad street-boys from Napoli
who couldn't even spell their own name

Oh, Christian Dior
Oh, Christian Dior

When you look at me
failure is all that you see
I discipline my days just like Christian Dior

I could have run loudly and proudly
or forcible entry and
morally bankrupt
and never non-violent
and drawn to what scares me
and scared of what bores me
years alone will never be returned
Christian Dior

Lionised maverick - ah
design if you can - ah
the way to just be a man - ah
to just be a man - ah
Christian Dior
Christian Dior...
