80 London By Jetpack chords by The Magnetic Fields

verse 1
             F
London by Jetpack
     C        G7
It can be done
                    F
What we spend on fuel
          C       G7
We'll make on film
            F
From the ICA
             C          G7
To Abbey Road in seconds
               F
On high rooftops
           C         G7
We'll dance the Twist

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

verse 2
                F
London by Jetpack
        C     G7
My verse novel
                 F
When teenagers fly
        C       G7
They change the sky
                   F   C
It's not the going up
                    G7
It's not the coming down
                  F
It's the zooming 'round
    C          G7
The speed, the sex

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

Outro
                       F
At the club with no name
           C     G7
We'll dance again
                F
Vivienne Westwood
     C       G7
Will be my queen
                   F
There will be no army
    C    G7
Only the Blitz
                   F    C
It's not the going up
                     G7
It's not the coming down
                F
London by Jetpack
     C             N.C.
I'll write you yet
