I got the same one a few weeks ago. My old washed out shirts look better.

The new shirts are a lot paler, bit like the colour we used to have in the 80's.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Probably old stock because I'm sure they were doing away with the shirts and only supplying the red polo shirts?

I hope they dont as I am not keen on the red shirts esp this time of year.
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........
