Biografia:
The Boomtown Rats (1975-1984) foram um grupo de punk rock/new wave liderado por Bob Geldof que se veio a tornar conhecido por organizar shows beneficentes, tais como Band Aid (com a intenção de ajudar as vítimas da fome na Etiópia), Live Aid, e Hands Across America (com intenção de ajudar os sem-teto dos Estados Unidos).
O seu maior êxito foi “I Don´t Like Mondays”, escrito a propósito do tiroteio numa escola executado por Brenda Ann Spencer, que disse tê-lo feito por não gostar das segundas-feiras.

(I said)
Bm
Down at the street around half past nine
I heard someone scream
I found someone dying
Em
His throat was slit from ear to ear
Bm
He mumbled so low I could hardly hear
D Em
I bent down low so I could hear what he said
D Em
He said tell me the truth am I nearly that dead
D A Bm
I said you're close as you'll ever be
Oh yea you're as close as you'll ever be
Bm
Down on the beach around half past five
I saw a pretty girl on a deckchair reclining
Em
A grin split her face from ear to ear
Bm
I went up close I must have got too near
D Em
Cos I never saw the guy on the sea-front cafe
Leaving his seat come and running my way
D A Bm
Saying you're close as you'll ever be
Oh yea you're close as you'll ever be
Bm Bm Am x8
Get up close to me honey
Em x8

D A Bm
I said you're close as you'll ever be
Oh yeah you're close as you'll ever be
You've been as close as you'll ever be
Close as you'll ever be
Bm
D A Bm
C'mon you're close as you'll ever be
Oh yea you're close as you'll ever be
I said you're close as you'll ever be
Gimme as close as you'll ever be
