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".

Simply Red
Looking at yourself in the mirror baby
Telling yourself to be up this morning
Holding in your hand another mirror baby
One or two lines for confidence
Pretty little girls
Climb to the top
The raging takes her
Down down down
(lonely baby)
Eating alligator for dinner baby
A restaurant that made it to the top
Smoothies always get to pay for dinner
Baby
The food was the last thing you came for
Pretty little girls
Climb to the top
The raging takes her
Down down down
(see them fall)
(you can see them fall down)
(fall)
(fall down)
Pretty little girls
Climb to the top
The raging takes her
Down down down
(see them fall)
(look at them fall)
(you can see them)
(see them fall)
(you can see them)
(you can see them fall)
(see them)
(you can see them fall)
(its lonely)
