Metropolis
Paradise
High
speed, high level transit systems
Man
on high wire mimics the human condition
Flick
on the lights
Reduce
radar signature
Are
we ready?
London
calling from outer space.
Turn
on the telly for a drama with a baying mob of rioters
And
a bunch of shouty Northern slags ‘avin’ a right go’
At
the Sloppy South where everything is cushy not like ‘ere
And
all that stuff
Looking
for serenity?
Phone
‘em up ask: what’s the story?
Are
we ready?
Light
up the radar
This
is Metropolis Paradise where the fun never stops
You’ve
seen it on the telly
Like
this bimbo presents the weather
And
– I couldn’t take my eyes off you,
You
high level twister
You
flower of my youth,
You
sassy starlet.
You’re
a hyperdrive experience,
You’re
a sign of the times,
In
this time of signs,
In
this electronic paradise.
