Elstree Lyrics - The Age Of Plastic - Buggles

Oh go Johnny kick me in the head 

Aimin' for the floorboard but they pick me up instead 

Through the ringing from the night before 

The engines running gotta pay a call 

Johnny drove the half track 

'Cause we could not find the jeep 

With me in the morning gotta get some sleep 

Driving all night out of fear 

Got in the ribs every time I changed gear 

I'm gonna take a ride, gonna pick up the team 

Gonna go where we've never been 

I'm gonna pick up the team 

(Pickin' up, pickin' up the team) 

Now you know 

How it's hard to keep the fighting clean 

Clean, clean 

Clean, clean 

Clean, clean 

Oh go Johnny gonna fight the war 

Shotgun in the morning at the local liquor store 

Oh go talking 'bout them diesel fuels 

Johnny tell the chaplain go and polish his tombs 

Lying on the waste ground with a blanket on his face 

Indicating that he's left the human race 

Hell went open when the world came in 

Gotta keep your head if you wanna win 

I'm gonna take a ride, gonna pick up the team 

Gonna go where we've never been 

I'm gonna pick up the team 

(Picking up, pickin' up the team) 

Now you know 

It's hard to keep the fighting 

Clean, clean 

Clean, clean 

Clean, clean 

Clean, clean 

Clean, clean 

Clean, clean 

Clean, clean 

Clean, clean 

Clean, clean 

Lost a million in the very first attack 

Clean, clean 

Don't you worry 

'Cause you know we'll get them back 

Clean, clean 

Lost a million in the very first attack 

Clean, clean 

Don't you worry 

'Cause you know we'll get them back
