The Buggles › Lyrics › Clean, Clean

Oh, go Johnny kick me in the head
Aimin' for the floorboards but they pick me up instead
Through the ringing from the night before
Said the engine's 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 it in the ribs every time it changed gear

I'm gonna take a ride, gonna pick up the team
Gonna go where we've never been
I'm gonna take a ride, 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
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 take a ride, gonna pick up the team
(Pickin' up, pickin' up the team)
God, 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, 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
