Buggles, The - Johnny On The Monorail Lyrics
Down, down, they pause and walk away
Even in the streets your feet don't move
See their faces through the Perspex
Turn to stare back up at you
You--your eyes are green and mine are blue
Oh, my, my, you are so sci-fi,
Please will you let me ride?
Johnny, riding on the monorail
Johnny, riding on the monorail
Monorail
You--you know that life is terminal,
It's the Paris Pullman in your mind again
Take this dream I offer you
Johnny, riding on the monorail
Johnny, riding on the monorail
Johnny, riding on the monorail
All we cannot see we call invisible
Tracks that move on pylons through the sky
Oh, my, my, you are so sci-fi
Please will you let me ride?
Johnny riding on the monorail
Johnny riding on the monorail
Johnny riding on the monorail
Johnny on the monorail
Johnny on the monorail
Johnny on the monorail
Johnny on the monorail (Johnny goes home...)
Johnny on the monorail (Johnny goes home...)
Johnny on the monorail

Ahead of the times
Buena visión para darle ritmo a sus canciones.
i have been a buggles fan since 1980s still love it, from ncooper
He is saying COMMUNISM at the end for anyone who is wondering
I really miss this kind of music on nowadays ;-;
musical talent of this quality does not exist today.
It does. You just have to look for it.
The second half of this song is amazing
the people give all the merits at Horn but Geoff Downes?
Reitia he's a legend too in my book
I love this dude's voice. Really enjoy his work on the Yes Drama album
What a good song. I like the Buggles even in 2018
The production on this song is amazing for 1980.
Probably 1979 in reality, since the album was released on 10th January 1980. It was most likely already in the warehouses before Christmas 1979, waiting to be released in the new year.
great song from a great man
4:45 is he saying Tommy wiseau ?
"Time is Up"
Its Johnny Reslo xx
sounds like he's saying "Johnny what's up" lol
simonHDfifa f o o t b a l l
He is saying COMMUNISM
Amazing.
did Johnny on the Monorail track actually have an official video? How come this beautiful Buggles track does not have its video shown on youtibe?
It wasn't released as a single, they never made a video
It wasn't released as a stand alone single but was the B side of Video Killed A Radio Star
dude now I want to make a fan music video of this!
Back to the futur !
Trevor & Geoff are the best.
I'm curious as to whether you thought I was talking about you and Geoff the landlord. The members of Buggles are also named Trevor and Geoff.
A monorail in Canada? What is this song about? Love the 1960s western movie music component in here at 1:42.
It's a Science Fiction song, so not about anything real. The whole album is about a futuristic Age Of Plastic.
I wonder if it's perhaps referencing the 1960s World's Fairs (1962 Seattle; New York 1964). eg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RojRZDsPbw
Or possibly this promotional clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HecL2rUTnvA
great song,from a great album,thanks for uploading
What is the song about?
Basically, about this guy named Johnny, and he's riding on this monorail.
There was a video a few years back of this song with the Disney monorail. Used to show it to my grandsons when they were young and going to Disney every year or so. They loved it then. Very catchy tune.
