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
I Remember A Time And A Place
Where Herbie Had To Hide His Face
All My Money Was Spent
And I Still Don't Get One Red Cent
One Black Face Replaced By A Base
Sown From The Seeds Of A White Disgrace
And Money Tv Made It All For Free
Did They Really Do It For You And For Me?
[chorus:]
Money Tv, Money Tv, Money Tv
You're So Good To Me
So Good To Me, So Good To Me
Money Tv, Money Tv, Money Tv
Money Is Your Baby And You Know What You Breed
So This Skateboard
Knew A Burger
Knew A Soft Drink
And They Used To Stay At Home
Playing Videos On Computers
And They Called It A Life And You Know What They Think They Were Right
Money Tv
Money Tv, Money Tv, Money Tv
Money Is Your Baby And You Know What You Breed
Dear Surfers You Ride As You See
Compute Me With Lead And Your Mercury
So I Can Eat Burgers And Live Life On Money Tv
Mr Shirty You Hide In Your Place
Sown From The Seeds Of A White Disgrace,
'cos Money's Been Spent And I Still Don't Get One Red Cent
[chorus]
Money Tv
Money Tv, Money Tv, Money Tv
You Know What You've Been
You Know What You've Been
