August was a heavy month


I'll take another photograph
Before the old one fades
It reminds me of those things that past
And quickly passed away
But it comes on in the early night
Creeping up on you
Those scenes of devastation
Crushing down on cue
These days are growing colder now
The light is growing dim
August was a heavy month
And now the nights are drawing in
Poor Baby Blue's wrapped up again
Inside her final painI'd help her if I could I say
She puts us all to shame
Alright, alright I know I've got a lot
Left to answer for
But am I the only one to blame
And anyway who's keeping score
But the grass seems so much brighter nowShe's spilled her blood again
August was a heavy month
Wash it down September rain
Baby Blue picks up her life tonight
And rushes for the Chelsea train
All the stars shine down on her tonight
And August was a heavy month
The photograph is cracked and torn
From being picked up, put down
Like some holy relic
Whose worshippers are found
Searching through their sacred books
For the holy grail of "why"But the total sum of knowledge
Knows no more than you or IAlright, alright says Baby BlueWho doesn't really understand
August was a heavy month
But winter came at last.

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

The Boomtown Rats are an Irish rock band formed in Dublin in 1975. The group is led by frontman and songwriter Bob Geldof, also known for his humanitarian work. The Boomtown Rats' music is characterized by energetic and melodic punk-rock sound, with often satirical and political lyrics. Among their most famous hits are "I Don't Like Mondays", "Rat Trap" and "The Boomtown Rats". In 1984, Geldof founded Band Aid, a supergroup of British and Irish artists who recorded the song "Do They Know It's Christmas?" to raise funds in aid of the famine in Ethiopia. The Boomtown Rats have sold millions of records worldwide and are considered one of the most influential rock bands of the 1970s and 1980s.
