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".

Lady Godiva's Room Lyrics
Simply Red
Before we go on the honeymoon is over
Just because I've never known your face
Don't look at me in the wrong way
To try and pick you out from all this space
The coldest room in the whole damn place
Lady Godiva's room
The only place she ever played in tune
Lady Godiva's room
The only place she ever played her bells in
Ah this is madness
This is insane gloom
Before we go on the honeymoon is over
When I asked I was beside myself
Thought that marriage would turn out well
In this holly and ivy age
The day we kissed on the mistletoe train
The love we have is still inside us
The dreams we had have left inside and died
Lady Godiva's room
The only place she ever played in tune
Lady Godiva's room
The only place she ever played her bells in
Ah this is madness
This is insane gloom
Before we go on the honeymoon is over
Before we go on the honeymoon is over
Lady Godiva the honeymoon is over
