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'll 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
