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".

Fake Lyrics
Simply Red
Watching love drifting away
And I feel like Im someone else
The hurting is rough
Long are the days
And you have hurt me enough
Youre scared to be loved
You know thats your way
Your youth has made you too tough
Youre hurting for love in so many ways
The truth has hurt you enough
I read a book
And its your face
Fake its your face now
Still my love for you was no mistake
Fake I will always love you
Fake
Hoping for love
Day after day
And its always someone else
The hurting is rough
Long are the days
And you have hurt me enough
Youre burning your hair
On your cigarette, oh baby
Turning your nose up
At the clothes your girlfriend wears
I dont care
Always, always, always I will love you
