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".

Look At You Now Lyrics
Simply Red
Right from the start you tried to hurt me,
But look at you now, behaving like a fool.
A long time ago you treated me so mean but
Chorus:
Look at you now.
Look at you now.
You threw me away like litter in the gutter.
I had to pick my self up and find something better.
-chorus-
I looked so hard, Im looking hard now
Looking at your head.
Dont talk about birthdays, that dont mean a thing to me.
Dont throw it in my face, its too sweet to sting.
-chorus-
I kept on looking hard (repeat)
Looking at your head, head!!!
