Buggles Elstree Lyrics

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
