Simply Red

Alright, you're right
Let's talk it over now
Talk it over now
I'm wrong, you're gone
So you're serious
Really serious
You're saying I'm insane
Oh that's craziness
Craziness
I'm trying to find
Its real meaning
Insanity

When I get home again
Everything we said
It seemed to hold us
Back again, again
When I get home then
We try to make it better
In the same
Damn way again, again

So long, you're gone
You'r really leaving me, leaving
There's no prize for goodbyes
No joy either, either
You're saying I'm insane
Oh that's craziness
Craziness
I'm trying to find
Its real meaning
Insanity

When I get home again
Everything we said
It seemed to hold us
Back again, again
When I get home then
We try to make it better
In the same
Damn way again, again

Enough
I've had enough
Oh I'm leaving

Simply Red is a British soul and pop band. The first incarnation of the band was a punk group called The Frantic Elevators, whose seven-year run produced limited releases on local labels and ended in 1984 upon critical acclaim for their final single, “Holding Back the Years”.

By early 1985, Mick Hucknall and manager Elliot Rashman had assembled a band of local session musicians and begun to attract record company attention. The group adopted the name “Red” (after Hucknall’s nickname, denoting his hair colour) but then Mick decided it would sound better with the addition of the word ‘Simply.’

Since the mid 1980s, the band has sold more than 50 million albums.
