ES-335 Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 QUOTE (Slaine mac Roth @ Aug 26 2005, 04:55 PM) QUOTE (Trance @ Aug 26 2005, 09:18 PM) Boomtown Rats - Rat Trap I have never heard of that song or group The Boomtown Rats, led by Bob Geldoff, were quite well known in the UK during the Punk era of the late 70s-early 80s. They had a few hits like She's So Modern, Like Clockwork, Someone Looking At You as well as two number ones (the aforementioned Rat Trap and I Don't Like Mondays). Out of all the Punk bands, they were, along with The Stranglers, The Clash, Elvis Costello and the Attractions and The Buzzcocks, one of the melodic Puink bands, relying on their music rather than screaming and spitting at the audience to gain popularity. I must confess that Rat Trap (which I think I still have on an original 7" single) was a fantastic song. Also, Geldoff was the actor in the movie "The Wall" by Pink Floyd. And, he is the organizer of the original Live Aid and the subsequest Live 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Peart: "Sorry - we could not find the song that was number 1 on your birthday." ... guess he is too old Geddy Lee: "Eddie Fisher - I'm Walking Behind You."

Hmmm...I've heard of Don, but not that song. I remember that one...it is Don's second biggest song (after American Pie of course)...it's about Vincent Van Gogh... Starry starry night paint your palette blue and grey look out on a summer's day with eyes that know the darkness in my soul. Shadows on the hills sketch the trees and the daffodils catch the breeze and the winter chills in colors on the snowy linen land. And now I understand what you tried to say to me how you suffered for your sanity how you tried to set them free. They would not listen they did not know how perhaps they'll listen now. Starry starry night flaming flo'rs that brightly blaze swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue. Colors changing hue morning fields of amber grain weathered faces lined in pain are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand. And now I understand what you tried to say to me how you suffered for your sanity how you tried to set them free. perhaps they'll listen now. For they could not love you but still your love was true and when no hope was left in sight on that starry starry night. You took your life as lovers often do; But I could have told you Vincent this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you. Starry starry night portraits hung in empty halls frameless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the world and can't forget. Like the stranger that you've met the ragged men in ragged clothes the silver thorn of bloddy rose lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow. And now I think I know what you tried to say to me how you suffered for your sanity how you tried to set them free. They would not listen they're not list'ning still perhaps they never will.
