Tales of Boomtown Glory - born to burn lyrics
(Preview)
I was getting really excited when I saw Born to Burn lyrics in the book - sadly its only the 1st verse and 2 lines of the 2nd verse. The other lyrics he mentions- "piano player thumping keys" and "Man these walls are gonna blow" aren't in the song. I think these were alternative lyrics to some of the vers...

Did Mondo Bongo cause the Rats to lose popularity?
(Preview)
Hi, I'm a big Rats fan. I wasn't around at the time so I've been very lucky to see them about 10 times since the reunion in 2013. I know 'Mondo Bongo' was their highest charting album at number 6 but it seems a much poorer effort that the first three records. 'Banana Republic' and 'Elephant's Graveyard' a...

Rain and Charmed lives
(Preview)
In my opinion the two worst songs geldof has ever written. Still don't get why the hell. Charmed lives was played live just as much as rat trap.
