80 London By Jetpack Chords & Lyrics - The Magnetic Fields

[VERSE 1]
London by Jet[F]pack
It ca[C]n be done[G7]
What we spend on fue[F]l
We'll make[C] on film[G7]
From the ICA[F]
To Abbey Road[C] in seconds[G7]
On high rooftop[F]s
We'll dance[C] the Twist[G7]

[CHORUS]
I [F]spent Au[C]gust in [F]London [G]when
The [F]New Roman[C]tics re[G]igned
And [F]though I w[C]as obli[F]vious [G]then
My [F]love h[C]as never [G]waned
My r[F]oots are N[C]ew Rom[F]antic [G]as
Some [F]critics h[C]ave compl[G]ained

[VERSE 2]
London by Jetpac[F]k
My verse[C] novel[G7]
When teenagers fl[F]y
They cha[C]nge the [G7]sky
It's not the going [F]up [C]
It's not the coming [G7]down
It's the zooming '[F]round
The [C]speed, the [G7]sex

[CHORUS]
When I [F]am mon[C]arch o[F]f the [G]world
Weighed [F]down by[C] matters [G]weighty
I'll [F]live in L[C]ondon o[F]nce more
[G]And [F]decree [C]it's 19[G]80
That [F]all may [C]dress a[F]s Pierr[G]ots
And [F]pirates, [C]like their [G]king
And [F]all will [C]have jet[F]packs
From [G]club to [F]club we'll[C] go zoom[G]ing

[OUTRO]
At the club with no nam[F]e
We'll dance[C] again[G7]
Vivienne Westwoo[F]d
Will [C]be my qu[G7]een
There will be no ar[F]my
Only[C] the [G7]Blitz
It's not the going [F]up [C]
It's not the coming d[G7]own
London by Jetpac[F]k
C N.C.
I'll write you yet
