Simply Red

Ooh shiny eyes
You've broken down a wall
Reach for the skies
Now I feel ten feet tall

The sun is shining on us baby
Play that song so we can dance
Our love is shining on us baby
Let's play the song so we can dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance

(Ooh you make me feel so young)
Shine on, shine on, shine on
(Ooh you make me feel so young)
Come on and shine on, shine on

Ooh shiny eyes, we can have a ball
Reach for the skies
You make me ten feet tall

The sun is shining on us baby
Let's sing the song and we can dance
Our love is shining on us baby
Let's play the song so we can dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance

(Ooh you make me feel so young)
Shine on, shine on, shine on
(Ooh you make me feel so young)
I want you to shine on, shine on, shine on

Ooh shiny eyes, we can have a ball
I want you to shine on, shine on
Ooh shiny eyes, now I feel ten feet tall
Shine on, shine on, shine on

(Ooh you make me feel so young)
Shine on, shine on, shine on
(Ooh you make me feel so young)
I want you to shine on, shine on, shine on

(Ooh you make me feel so young)
(Ooh you make me feel so young)

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.
