Simply Red

Now I am a broken Man, Now I am a broken Man
Now I am a broken Man, Now I am a broken Man

It's no good being here with me
I'm a little scared of the things you see
It's no good having friends at all
They do me no good, they don't do me no good at all

It's no good living in the past
It's no good at all you know it don't last
It's no good making a change
There's nothing to change I don't want to rearrange

But what I wanna do is spend some time with you
But I know I can't because all you want is you

So now I am a broken man
Now I am a broken man
Now I am a broken man
I am a broken man

I saw my shadow on the wall
It looked at me then left me
I'm hoping somebody will call
But I hope they don't come and get me at all

Because what I wanna do is spend some time with you
But I know I can't because all you want is you

So now I am a broken man
Now I am a broken man
Now I am a broken man
I am a broken man

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.
