Bob Geldof is one of the best lyricists of the 20th century.

One of the first rock videos that I remember was this song. I would like to see the video to this again.

Late to the party here......based on daughter of Barbara Cartland.
I was just singing this song the other day.
bob truly fab songwriter
You gotta give Geldoff his props - only Sir Bob could pull off singing a song about a debutante hanging herself on national TV.

the sexiest man alive!
Supposedly about Paula Yates, whom Bob had just met and who wanted fame at any cost. You can see her in the crowd scenes on the promo video.
possibly you are right-
altho keep it up- from the 3rd lbum is prety good too,
@bigbosscentral90 And the sexiest man alive!
Why does he miss half the lyrics out?
what was the date this was on parky?
He's old he forgets things now and agaian and it's Bob FFS he can sing what he wants.
I think that in this one his hair just looks fucked up... However, the song is still great.
Oh, Bob-what happened? what a shame, to see him mangling his own song like this. Wish I´d never clicked on ti. Oh, well...
Pants...never even sang half the song
