This song is the first single of my new CD 'Million Miles Away'

When I was a boy back in the 70s
I used to read about the 21st century
Used to read about what lay ahead of me
Hi fi sci fi technology

Flying fast in flying cars
Teleporting me to Mars
High pursuits in latex suits
See the stars from Pluto bars

But now its 2003,
I want what was promised to me
I want my technology
I want my technology

I want my jet pack
I wanna fly high
I want my jet pack
See you in the sky

Used to read about astronomy
Name the planets in the galaxy
Blake 7 on the tv
Listen to space oddity

Star bus to the moon
We were told it would happen soon
Take a place in a space race
Cannot lose with my sonic boom

But now its 2003,
I want what was promised to me
I want my technology
I want my technology

I want my jet pack
I wanna fly high
I want my jet pack
See you in the sky

I want my jet pack
Like on tv
I want my jet pack
Come fly with me

But Bowie lied to me
And the Jetsons lied to me
And Judge Dread lied to me
In 2000 AD

I want my jet pack
Like on tv
I want my jet pack
Come fly with me

Come fly with me
Come fly with me
Fly fly fly with me
