Amos Tori
Strange Little Girls
I Donât Like Mondays
(Bob Geldof)
The Boomtown Rats - from âThe Fine Art Of Surfacingâ (1979)
The silicon chip inside her head
gets switched to overload
and nobodyâs gonna go to school today
sheâs gonna make them stay at home
And Daddy doesnât understand it
He always said she was good as gold
And he can see no reason
Cos there are no reasons
What reasons do you need to be shown
Chorus:
Tell me why
I donât like Mondays
I want to shoot
The whole day down
The telex machine is kept so clean
and it types to waiting world.
And Mother feels so shocked
Fatherâs world is rocked
And their thoughts turn to
Their own little girl
Sweet 16 ainât that peachy keen
No it ainât so neat to admit defeat,
They can see no reasons
Cos there are no reasons
What reasons do you need to be shown
Repeat Chorus
All the playingâs stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with her toys awhile
And schoolâs out early and soon weâll be learning
That the lesson today is how to die
And then the bullhorn crackles
And the captain tackles
With the problems and the howâs and whyâs
And he can see no reasons
Cos there are no reasons
What reasons do you need to die
Repeat Chorus
