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".

It's only love
It's only love
Don't be afraid to touch me babe
Girl let's be real
There's nothing wrong
With the way we're carrying on
So enjoy and live
Because
It's only love doing it's thing baby
It's only love that you're feeling
It's only love doing it's thing baby
It's only love that you're giving
I wanna stay with you night and day
Until the end of time
It's OK when you lay
Lay your body next to mine
Because
It's only love doing it's thing baby
It's only love that you're feeling
It's only love doing it's thing baby
It's only love that you're giving
