'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 |
