'80: London by Jetpack |
| London by Jetpack |
| It can be done |
| What we spend on fuel |
| We’ll make in film |
| From the ICA |
| To Abbey Road in seconds |
| On high rooftops |
| We’ll dance the Twist |
| I spent August in London when |
| The New Romantics reigned |
| And though I was oblivious then |
| My love has never waned |
| My roots are New Romantic as |
| Some critics have complained |
| London by Jetpack |
| My verse novel |
| When teenagers fly |
| They change the sky |
| It’s not the going up |
| It’s not the coming down |
| It’s the zooming 'round |
| The speed, the sex |
| When I am monarch of the world |
| Weighed down by matters weighty |
| I’ll live in London once more |
| And decree it’s 1980 |
| That all may dress as Pierrots |
| And pirates, like their king |
| And all will have jetpacks |
| From club to club we’ll go zooming |
| At the club with no name |
| We’ll dance again |
| Vivienne Westwood |
| Will be my queen |
| There will be no army |
| Only the Blitz |
| It’s not the going up |
| It’s not the coming down |
| London by Jetpack |
| I’ll write you yet |
