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".

My Perfect Love Lyrics
Simply Red
Oh boy, what a fight
We fought and the thing is
Usually we were both right
Ok I'm crazy but maybe
I hope that turning the page somehow
Reveals a note that will claim you forever
Both of us, what a sight
In the mall there screaming
Believing it could be so right
'Cause you know that you're mine baby
Gotta get back home to you somehow
And take the blame for screaming much louder
Still you're in my dreams
Ok not constantly, baby
But believe me enough
To be eternally, endlessly
Stirred but never shaken
Well turned, but never burned
By your love
Your perfect love
(Your perfect love)
Your perfect love
(Your perfect love)
Your perfect love
(Your perfect love)
Your perfect love
Through the day and the night
Thinking of you lady
Here with a love that feels so right
I know it's hazy but maybe
We've got to make it work out somehow
To keep a love that will last us forever
Still you're in my dreams
Ok, not constantly, baby
But believe me enough
To be eternally, endlessly
Stirred but never shaken
Well turned but never burned
By your love
Your perfect love
[Repeat to end]
