Catwalk (A Stitch in Time) (feat. Lola Kristine & Arta Jekabsone)

Shine, glitter, sparkle, shine, shine…

Shine, glitter, sparkle, shine, shine…

She struts, out onto the runway

With, her catwalk stare, hips swaying

Fashion Queen, sequins sparkle on her stunning gown

As she prances down…

Down the platform with her catwalk pace

Heads turn, lascivious satin and lace

Her arms dangle by her sides, diamonds and pearls

Fingers loosely curled

Chic silhouettes, new fashion lines that thill, whirl and swirl, swirl and twirl

Sisyphean dreams of the beauty cameras capture

Her sophisticated style, eyes gaze with rogue in rapture

Shine, glitter, sparkle, shine, shine… shine

Shine, glitter, sparkle, shine, shine… shine

Shine, glitter, sparkle, shine, shine… shine

A stitch in time

There’s something wonderful in life, it’s a kind of folklore

 

Baby, it’s trendy, intoxicating, it’s something she wore

 

Of the many trends in life that come and go

 

Fashion takes spotlight

 

Attention seeking it’s the gist of style always in limelight

 

There’s indulgence and glamour, enchantment and much luxury

There’s rhinestones and buttons, bewitchment, fine embroidery

 

Beautiful supermodels and mannequins and something more

 

It’s to show off all the wonderful, wonderful fashion galore

 

You know what it’s for

 

It all began with Charles Frederick Worth

 

To some, the greatest razzle-dazzle thing on Earth

 

Then came the chic comète Coco Chanel

 

Madeleine Vionnet with her bias cut label

 

Fashion costs a lot of money but nothing in life is free

 

We wear it to make our day feel bright and sunny

 

But alluring pizzazz sometimes is a dizzy frenzy

 

When fads are the rage, it’s tempting

 

The elegance of Yves Saint Laurent has timeless appeal today

 

Dior’s New Look, Givenchy and Jean-Paul Gaultier

 

Worn by Marlene Dietrich, Hepburn, Hayworth, an endless array

 

They wore avant garde looks so ‘la vie est gaie’

 

We know that forecasters predict colors and shapes and textures

 

Inspired by street style, decades of art, different cultures

 

Pop Art, Twiggy and mini-skirts, Vogue and Bazar, Andy Warhol

 

Grab it while the gettin’s good, Ready-To-Wear, you can have it all

 

Battle of Versailles, nineteen seventy three, it went down in history

 

American designers stole the show

 

Everybody here has to know

 

Oscar de la Renta, Burrows, Halston, Blass, Anne Klein

 

With fearless models their classic designs outshine

 

Princess Grace, Liza and Joséphine, an unforgettable scene

Hard to believe, over the top extravaganza

 

And even though you might think it’s crazy

Minimalistic fluid fashion, is not just lazy

 

That’s all, the curtain came down, that’s all

 

So what’s this glam obsession after all

 

Models portray new looks that they display

 

We’ll never change it

 

Skirts swirl, dresses twirl in high heel shoes, accessories

 

A plethora of endless possibilities

 

Don’t you know the little pleasures that are part of this allure

 

You love the color, live the life, zip a little, crisscross couture

 

Still, we’re just all seeking happiness

 

But by the way whose hand turned the wheel, on that sewing machine

 

She makes smiles sparkle and beam on the silver screen

And silk and cotton threads, where were they spun? Knows none

 

 

So now time for truth and honesty and something more

 

Meaning fashion, what’s really in store

 

And more than talking when times are tough

 

The change needed, it’s gonna be rough

 

Still time before all is lost

So what’s the true cost...
