On the day Brenda Spencer decided to open fire at the elementary school across the street, two adults died trying to protect the children and eight students were injured. The single about “shooting down” the worst day of the week ranked #1 in the UK for four weeks and became an 80’s classic despite its incredibly morbid inspiration. What reason do you need to die, die, ohoho They can see no reasons 'cause there are no reasonsĪnd all the playing's stopped in the playground nowĪnd school's out early and soon we be learningĪnd then the bullhorn crackles and the captain tacklesĪnd he can see no reasons 'cause there are no reasons Her mother feels so shocked, father's world is rockedĪnd their thoughts turn to their own little girl The song continues: And daddy doesn't understand itĪnd he can see no reason 'cause there are no reasons There’s no better example of that than the Boomtown Rats’ 1979 hit song, “I don’t like Mondays.” Brenda Spencer's remorseless response struck a chord with Geldof, who immediately came up with the song's opening lines: The silicon chip inside her head Sometimes greatness can emerge from the worst situations.
