MARKS AND SPENCER A/W 2012

For many years Marks and Spencer was the high Street benchmark for whether the economy was doing well.  You were once not too shabily dressed if you bought your clothes from M&S, but can the same still be said.

With so much competition on the high street for our disposable income, does Marks and Spencer still have it when it comes to fashion ?

    Hal David with Burt

    Song lyrics ; Walk on by

    If you see me walkin' down the street
    And I start to cry, each time we meet
    Walk on by, walk on by

    Make believe that you don't see the tears
    Just let me grieve in private
    'Cos each time that I see you, I break down and cry
    Walk on by, walk on by, just walk on by

    Oh, 'cause I just can't get over losin' you
    And if I seem broken and blue
    Walk on by, walk on by

    Foolish pride is all that I have left
    So let me hide the tears and all the sadness
    That you gave me when you said, "Goodbye"
    Walk on by, walk on by
    Walk on by, just walk on by

    Walk on by, walk on by
    Foolish pride is all that I have left
    So let me hide the tears and all the sadness
    That you gave me when you said, "Goodbye"
    And walked on by, just walk on by

    Now you really gotta go so walk on by
    Now you really gotta go so walk on by

    Baby, leave me never see the tears I cry
    Baby, leave me never see the tears I cry

    Just walk on by
    Walk on
