Simply Red

There came a time in my life
A time to move along
Left alone once more again
Yes I loved her

Images abound in my mind
They paint you like I love you
If I felt I had you
I'd open up my soul again

Now I just can't stand being turned on my head
And I don't need to be lonely in my bed
I don't wanna be around until the curtain falls
When she walks in the room the moonlight beams
From her face and all those dreams
Come along where lost love stole a parking space
And oh what a girl, what a lady

I'm here to thank the fool

Who gave me the woman I love
I hear you call her name
I really just can't thank you enough

These images abound in my mind
Painting me like I love you
I know I've found you
I've opened up my soul for sure

Now I just can't stand being turned on my head
And I don't need to be lonely in my bed
I don't wanna be around until the curtain falls
When she walks in the room the moonlight beams
From your face and all those dreams
Come along where lost love stole a parking space
And oh what a girl, what a lady

[Repeat Chorus]

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.
