London by Jetpack
   C majorC    G7G7
It can be done
          FF
What we spend on fuel
     C majorC    G7G7
We'll make on film

From the ICA

To Abbey Road in seconds

On high rooftops
      C majorC     G7G7
We'll dance the Twist

 FF    C majorC    FF   G+G
I spent August in London when
  FF    C majorC   G+G
The New Romantics reigned
  FF     C majorC   FF   G+G
And though I was oblivious then
  FF   C majorC    G+G
My love has never waned
  FF     C majorC   FF   G+G
My roots are New Romantic as
   FF    C majorC    G+G
Some critics have complained

verse 2

London by Jetpack
    C majorC   G7G7
My verse novel
         FF
When teenagers fly
    C majorC    G7G7
They change the sky
          FF  C majorC
It's not the going up
          G7G7
It's not the coming down

The speed, the sex

    FF   C majorC   FF   G+G
When I am monarch of the world
    FF   C majorC    G+G
Weighed down by matters weighty
   FF    C majorC   FF
I'll live in London once more
G+G  FF   C majorC   G+G
And decree it's 1980
   FF    C majorC   FF   G+G
That all may dress as Pierrots
  FF    C majorC     G+G
And pirates, like their king
  FF    C majorC    FF
And all will have jetpacks
   G+G    FF     C majorC    G+G
From club to club we'll go zooming

Outro
            FF
At the club with no name

We'll dance again

It's not the coming down
        FF

I'll write you yet
