New London boy (radio edit)

[Verse 1]
I remember wondering...
Who am I?
And what will I turn out to be?
I know where I have to go
To unlock the secret of me
Won’t be long
'Til I have to get out of here
And live my invented life
Well already that’s pretty queer

[Chorus]
A new London boy
Like so many others
Hanging around
With my glam rock brothers
A new London boy
Is everyone gay?
Am I just kidding myself?
I'll go all the way?

[Verse 2]
I remember wondering...
New London boys can’t afford to be scared
You take it on the chin and win in your head
Follow the style, plastic and showy
Everyone’s dancing to Roxy and Bowie
Don’t be afraid if it feels bizarre
This is your time, you are the star
Everyone’s watching, grab your chance
All it takes is a stolen glance
New London boy
New London
Boy

[Verse 3]
I’ll aim for the stars
And learn how to swim with the sharks
Play an electric guitar
While studying Plato and Marx

[Chorus]
A new London boy
Like so many others
Hanging around
With my glam rock brothers
A new London boy
Is everyone gay?
Am I just kidding myself?
I’ll go all the way?
I remember wondering...
