London Boys

The Go-Gos

Seen your pictures in the 'zines
And you look real good
Pale blank faces - black and white keen
London boys - cigarette lean

London boys
Wish you were here
London boys
Wish we were there
London boys
Seem real cool
London boys
Wish you were here
London boys
Wish we were there
London boys
Seem real cool
London boys

If we had the money
If we were only rich
We'd take a jet plane get outa this scene
And make the switch

London boys
Wish you were here
London boys
Wish we were there
London boys
Seem real cool
London boys
Wish you were here
London boys
Wish we were there
London boys
Seem real cool
London boys

Go go go

Seen your pictures in the 'zines
And you look real good
Pale blank faces - black and white keen
London boys - cigarette lean

London boys
Wish you were here
London boys
Wish we were there
London boys
Seem real cool
London boys
Wish you were here
London boys
Wish we were there
London boys
Seem real cool

London boys
London boys
London boys

@[Kahiara:35260] Actually I think the husband passed away, "She sang for you last night She heard you were calling" Many people say they have felt, heard, or seen their loved ones after they have passed. "Don't be scared now Close your eyes She holds guard tonight Go on forward no remorse Life will take it's course" This is said to the late husband by a third part (never named), who encourages him to pass on. Because life will eventually continue. The phrase "holds guard" refers to the ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake_(ceremony) ) which is a Christian ceremony held after someone dies. Now it is usually held right after the funeral, but in most celtiic countries the wake is held before the funeral. "She danced with you last night so you will remember All you have shared, a lifetime." This sentence feels as if the only thing it wants to convey is their history together, namely, husband and wife. For the rest it just refers back to the first verse.

Moyet later described how her song "Goodbye 70's" had been inspired by her disillusionment with how the late-1970s punk scene had turned out, saying, "'Goodbye 70's' is about punk and not caring how you were dressed, and then I discovered that so many of my friends that I'd thought it all really meant something to just saw it as another trend... That's what 'Goodbye 70's' was all about, about how sour the whole thing became."
