New London boy
Pet Shop Boys
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 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
With the 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
New London boys
Can't afford to be scared
You take it on the chin
And win in your head
Skinheads will mock you
Call you a fag
Last laugh is yours
There's brick in you 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?
Don't be afraid
If it feels bizarre
This is your time
You are the stars
Everyone's watching
Grab you 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?
I remember wondering
