Anthem for the Straight Leg Rejectionists
(She Wears Flares)

We hope to have a recording of this song available soon; until then, try to hum along on your own, or make up your own tune. Ours is based on the chords G major and A major, with some use of D major in the chori. Sing it on the bus if you catch buses, sing it at work if you work, sing it in the shower if you shower, and, most of all, sing it at people wearing non-flared trousers. Until they submit. We never wanted to out-flare the world, but the world under-flared us. Let's spread some equality, by all wearing flares. Maybe this song can help.

INTRO	There's a massive shadow on the pavement; There's a mass of colour, not the ground — A display almost enough to make you famous When there's only straight conservatives around.
VERSE	Her trousers end in cones and that's the only sort she owns. She wouldn't dream of wearing things with no degree of flaring. If she's given half a choice then you won't mistake her voice saying SHE WEARS FLARES.
VERSE	There's no need for condescension at our sometimes frequent mention Of the trousers angling out below the knee. You may see it as a throwback; if you do we'll get our own back When you realise the basic Quality when WE WEAR FLARES
CHORUS	She wears flares She wears flares And flares Are all that she wears
VERSE	If it's straight then she can't bear it 'less you find some way to flare it. No, those trouser-legs aren't well unless they end in a gathering bell… Now, boot–leg, that will do for a day or two, But before the week is out she'll get her bell-bottoms out, And show the world at large that she's in charge And SHE WEARS FLARES.
CHORUS	She wears flares She wears flares And flares Are all that she wears
VERSE	Be you hippie, goth or townie, vicar, postman, judge or brownie, When there's flaring to discuss, we hope that you'll agree with us That you'll only be happy when the ends are huge and flappy and we ALL WEAR FLARES
CHORUS	She wears flares She wears flares And flares Are all that she wears
