You’ve got to love a country that knights its artists. In honor of the final weekend of The 2012 Olympic Games, let’s rock out to and sing along with some members of Her Majesty’s Knighthood.
Sir Elton John – knighted in 1996
Sir Paul McCartney – knighted in 1997
And honorary knight, Irish singer Bob Geldof in his Boomtown Rats days with an anthemic song for insomniacs around the world.
Lyrics:
Up all night
Ooh za za
Ooh staying up all night
African jungle
Big city street
The only real difference is in
The people you meet
Up all night
Ooh za za
Ooh staying up all night
It’s an agreeable town
It’s neat and sedate
Why even the muggers are off
The streets by eight
Up all night
Ooh za za
Ooh staying up all night
Say it ain’t so Joe, say it ain’t so Joe
Polite and well spoken
Well heeded and well sane
They know they’re alive
When they start to feel pain
You’re staying up all night
Ooh za za
Ooh staying up all night
Up all night
Ooh za za
Ooh staying up all night
Say it ain’t so Joe, say it ain’t so Joe
Big city jungle
African street
The only real difference is in
The people they meet
