             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
[Chorus]
  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
[Chorus]
       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
