Simply Red are an English pop band, formed in the mid 1980s. Simply Red's roots originate from the notorious 1976 Sex Pistolsgig at the Lesser Free Trade Hall in Manchester. Manchester art student Mick Hucknall was one of the many young music fans present (along with original members of The Falland lesser luminaries such as Joy Division, The Smithsand Buzzcocks) who was inspired to form a band after witnessing that gig. The first incarnation of the band was a punkgroup called The Frantic Elevators. This band existed for 7 years, with limited releases on local labels, but split in 1984 with only limited local attention and critical acclaim for their final single, "Holding Back the Years".

Debris Lyrics
Simply Red
I Left You On The Debris
At The Sunday Morning Market
You Were Sorting Through The Odds And Ends
You Was Looking For A Bargain
I Heard Your Footsteps At The Front Door
In That Old Familiar Love Song
Cause You Knew You'd Find Me Waiting There
At The Top Of The Stairs
I Went There And Back
Just To See How Far It Was
And You, You Tried To Tell Me
But I Had To Learn For Myself
There's More Trouble At The Depot
With The General Workers Union
And You Said They'll Never Change A Thing
Well, They Won't Fight And They're Not Working
Oh You Was My Hero
Now You Are My Good Friend
I've Been There And Back
And I Know How Far It Is
But I Left You On The Debris
Now We Both Know You Got No Money
And I Wonder What You Would Have Done
Without Me Hanging Around
