Well it was July the 13th 1985
The Global Jukebox came alive
well we fed the world that day
we fed the world that day
it was a day for a party
we made a lot of food and we ate it sure as hell
vegetarian salads they had no meat
there were leftovers as well
everybody laughed when i said
think of all the people dying or dead
lets pick up the leftovers and send them to the dying children in Ethiopia
My mother used to say that
Sure I was pleased to give money cause it was not a political cause
I just remember the smiling faces, the music and the applause
I spent 30 quid on coke
I smoked a little too much dope
I was wiped out from 5 to 7
I missed bands like bally and u2
It was July the 13th 1985
was the day we watched live aid
The global jukebox came alive
and we fed the world that day
what about the music?
yeah the music was fucking brilliant
and that madonna she sure can move
by the time paul macartney's microphone failed yeah
we were all well into the live aid groove
Paul macartney he sang
well it must have been a bit of an irony
because if you let it be nothing will improve
but it was the first time i heard.........
..................
..............
I was really moved
It was July the 13th 1985
was the day we watched live aid
The global pukebox came alive
and we fed the world that day
Well the powerful force of pop music
solved the problems fed the world
so what if there weren't any blacks involved
there was everybody but the gold
bob geld has no ego that man should get the nobel prize
by the time he sang a solo on feed the world I
thought he should be canonized
I felt guilty about the starving but i felt good to be alive
but i must admit i shed a tear for the moving video of that great car song
Drive
saint bob made me feel like shit
so i opened an envelope and got out a very crisp 10 pound note
it was the same one i used earlier to snort my coke
that made me feel good inside
sending the money, not snorting the coke
It was July the 13th 1985
was the day we watched live aid
The global jukebox came alive
and we fed the world that day
I personally with my 10 pound note that i used to snorth the coke fed the world that day
the night goes on
who's gonna take me home
who's gonna drive you home
