[Buggles cover]


Every day my metal friend

Shakes my bed at 6am (Wake up!)

Then the shiny serving clones

Run in with my telephones


Talking fast I make a deal

Buy the fake and sell what's real

What's this pain here in my chest?

Maybe I should take a rest


They send the heart police

To put you under cardiac arrest

And as they drag you to the door

They tell you that you've failed the test


Living in the...

Living in the plastic age

Looking only half my age

Hello doctor lift my face

I wish my skin could stand the pace


In the bed I read my mind

Remember how the mice were blind

I watch them fighting in their cage

Could this be the plastic age?


They send the heart police

To put you under cardiac arrest

And as they drag you to the door

They tell you that you've failed the test


Living in the...

Plastic age

Plastic age

Plastic age


They send the heart police

To put you under cardiac arrest

And as they drag you to the door

They tell you that you've failed the test


Living in the...

Plastic age

Plastic age

Plastic age
