Me and Howard Hughes

Me and Howard Hughes - The Boomtown Rats

Written by：Bob Geldof

Hand me down a strong panacea

One that's guaranteed to

Make me feel like Hercules

There's flies everywhere

Buzzing in the air

Filling my body with filth and disease

And I think

He thinks he should develop a complex

He thinks that he really

Owes it to himself

His friends all say he's looking sick

And unhealthy

And then he can wallow

In sweet selfneglect

Oh oh yeah

Oh oh yeah

Oh oh yeah

Oh oh yeah

He's gonna

Lock himself up in his room

Shutter the windows and bolt all the doors

Wrap himself round in his Wall Street cocoon

He's painting the ceiling

The walls and the floor

He's gonna lock himself up in his room

And when he emerges

Have a new change of style

He keeps saying things

Like it's me and Howard Hughes

You'd wana watch out

For that dangerous smile

Oh oh yeah

Oh oh yeah

Oh oh yeah

Oh oh yeah

He's gonna lock himself up in his room

Shutter the windows and bolt all the doors

Wrap himself round in his Wall Street cocoon

He's painting the ceiling

The walls and the floor

He's gonna

Lock himself up in his room

Shutter the windows and bolt all the doors

Wrap himself round in his Wall Street cocoon

He's painting the ceiling

The walls and the floor

Lock himself up in his room

And when he emerges

Have a new change of style

He keeps saying things

Like it's me and Howard Hughes

You'd wana watch out

For that dangerous smile

Oh oh yeah

Oh oh yeah

Oh oh yeah

Oh oh yeah
