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
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
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
I'll aim for
the stars
And learn how to swim
with the sharks
Play an electric
guitar
While studying
Plato and Marx
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?
