East London's not a bomb site It is a treasure chest We use our penguin costumes More than our evening dress She said I should come over Though the music's not my type Don't you know I'd chop a limb off Just to have a good time Shut up and move with me, move with me, or, or get out of my face I didn't queue for an hour to leave straight away Shut up and stay with me, stay with me, or, or let go of my hand The lasers fill our minds with empty plans I never knew I was a techno fan This is not a weird weekend It's an angry wormhole I'm talking like a city boy And drinking with a northern soul She said I should come over Though it's carnage at times It still seems I'd chop a limb off Before I put up a fight Shut up and move with me, move with me, or, or get out of my face I didn't queue for an hour to leave straight away Shut up and stay with me, stay with me, or, or let go of my hand The lasers fill our minds with empty plans I never knew I was a techno We are the 1980s We are the Detroit lights And I never wanna, I never wanna see this stop I'm in debt to you But don't feed me plant food Shut up and move with me, move with me, or, or get out of my face I didn't spend 20 sheets and not cut a shape Shut up and stay with me, stay with me, or, or let go of my hand The lasers fill our minds with empty plans I never knew I was a techno fan I never knew I was a techno fan I never knew I was a techno fan
