"Someone's Looking at You" was the third and final single from The Boomtown Rats' album The Fine Art of Surfacing.[1] It peaked at number two on the Irish Singles Chart and number 4 on the UK Singles Chart in February 1980.[2]
It is an organ-based song that paints a humid picture of 1984-style government surveillance and has been described as a "gently humorous song about paranoia".[3] The second verse starts "They saw me there in the square when I was shooting my mouth off about saving some fish. Now could that be construed as some radical's views or some liberals' wish". This refers to singer Bob Geldof's participation in a Greenpeace anti-whaling rally in London's Trafalgar Square.[3] Geldof's website describes the song as a personal statement on fame.[4]
