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
Till I have to get out of here
And leave my invented life
Well already that's pretty queer
A new London boy
Like so many others
Hanging around
With my glamrock brothers
A new London boy
With screamers who dress for excess
Seeking attention and freedom
And the right people you can impress
Are they girls or boys?
Is everyone gay?
Am I just kidding myself?
I'll go all the way
I remember wondering
Human boys can't afford to be scared
You take it on the chin and win in your head
Skinheads will mock you and call you a fag
Last laugh is yours, there's a brick in your bag
Follow the style, plastic and showy
Everyone's dancing to Roxy and Bowie
People want Deco and Hollywood stars
The glamorous life, vintage cars
Like boy racers, speed is the essence
Get yourself noticed, assert your presence
Remember (remember, remember, remember)
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 glamrock brothers
A new London boy
Is everyone gay?
Am I just kidding myself?
I'll go all the way
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
Till I have to get out of here
And leave my invented life
Well already that's pretty queer
A new London boy
Like so many others
Hanging around
With my glamrock brothers
A new London boy
With screamers who dress for excess
Seeking attention and freedom
And the right people you can impress
Are they girls or boys?
Is everyone gay?
Am I just kidding myself?
I'll go all the way
I remember wondering
Human boys can't afford to be scared
You take it on the chin and win in your head
Skinheads will mock you and call you a fag
Last laugh is yours, there's a brick in your bag
Follow the style, plastic and showy
Everyone's dancing to Roxy and Bowie
People want Deco and Hollywood stars
The glamorous life, vintage cars
Like boy racers, speed is the essence
Get yourself noticed, assert your presence
Remember (remember, remember, remember)
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 glamrock brothers
A new London boy
Is everyone gay?
Am I just kidding myself?
I'll go all the way
