Elton John - Fools In Fashion (1981 B-Side)

One of my all-time favorite songs by Elton John, "Fools In Fashion", which was the B-side to his 1981 single "Nobody Wins". It's a shame that such an amazing song never made onto "The Fox" album. It could have made the album even better, in my opinion.

I know that this b-side isn't exactly "rare", seeing that two other people on youtube have already uploaded it, but since I love this song so much I just wanted to be on my channel anyway, and share it with you guys.

Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin

Lyrics:

He's so sophisticated
In a critic's eye
He needs a change of habit
But then so do I
He's all Zefferelli
In cool loose clothes
He needs to be rewired
He's plugged on overload

So crisp and new
Well it had to be
I guess he needs a change
From the likes of me
If he should lose some color
When he leaves the sun
I'm sure a little Braggi
Wouldn't hurt no one

'Cause when the fool's in fashion
He's attracting everyone
He'll be the head of your list
He'll be your dinner guest
If he's the center of attention
Looks like the fool's in fashion

You had your pound of flesh
You got the driver's seat
Well you can keep the car
But I'd like the meat
'Cause there must be plenty
Down in the cutting room
It's so tough to suffer
When you want the moon

'Cause when the fool's in fashion
He's attracting everyone
He'll be the head of your list
He'll be your dinner guest
If he's the center of attention
Looks like the fool's in fashion...

Never released on CD, so it's rare enough! Thanks for uploading.
