Jet Set Willy Lyrics by The British IBM

2017

[Verse 1]
It's been nearly 32 years since I first saw your title screen
And even though I never got that far
I'd lay awake most every night
And think about the rooms ahead
Where everything just seemed to get so hard
[Chorus]
I never got this close before
I never got this near
To completing Jet Set Willy
So go get me another beer
[Verse 2]
I blew the dust from my cassette, I even fixed the attic bug
That screwed me over all those years ago
I played it on my BBC
I never liked those rubber keys
But everyone’s a critic I suppose
[Chorus]
I never got this close before
I never got this near
To completing Jet Set Willy
So go get me another beer
[Bridge]
I'm not using emulation, I'm using the real thing
No save state, no pausing, no waiting for God
I’m not using a walk-through, it's all intuition
No YouTube, no forums, no scanning through blogs
[Chorus]
I never got this close before
I never got this near
To completing Jet Set Willy
So go get me another beer
