July 13th 1985 Was the day we watched Live Aid The Global Jukebox came alive 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 without any meat There was leftovers as well Everybody laughed when I said Thinking of the people either dying or dead "Let's pick up the leftovers Send them to the starving 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 thirty quid on coke I smoked a little too much dope I was wiped out from five til seven I missed Spandau Ballet and The reformed Who July 13th 1985 Was the day we watched Live Aid The Global Jukebox came alive We fed the world that day We fed the world that day The music was fucking brilliant And that Madonna she sure can move By the time Paul McCartney's microphone had failed We were all well into the Live Aid groove And Paul McCartney Paul McCartney sang... Which must have been a bit of an irony Cos if you "Let it Be" nothing will ever improve But it was one of the first times I ever heard One of the real Beatles Sing a real Beatles' song live on television I was really moved July 13th 1985 was the day we watched Live Aid The Global Jukebox came alive We fed the world that day We fed the world that day Well the powerful voice of pop music Solve the problems, feed the world So what if there weren't any blacks involved There was Everything but the Girl Bob Geldof has no ego That man should get the Nobel Prize By the time he sang the solo on Feed the World I thought he should be canonized I felt guilty about the starving but I felt good to be alive And I must admit I shed a tear or two In the very moving video for the great Cars song Drive Saint Bob made me feel like shit So I got out an envelope, opened it Put in a very crisp ten pound note It was the same one I used earlier to snort my coke And that made me feel good inside July 13th 1985 was the day we watched Live Aid The Global Jukebox came alive We fed the world that day We fed the world that day
