simple minds - don t you

Hey, hey, hey ,hey
Ohhh...

Won't you come see about me?
I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby

Tell me your troubles and doubts
Giving me everything inside and out and
Love's strange so real in the dark
Think of the tender things that we were working on

Slow change may pull us apart
When the light gets into your heart, baby

Don't You Forget About Me
Don't Don't Don't Don't
Don't You Forget About Me

Will you stand above me?
Look my way, never love me
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down

Will you recognise me?
Call my name or walk on by
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down, down

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ohhhh.....

Don't you try to pretend
It's my feeling we'll win in the end
I won't harm you or touch your defenses
Vanity and security

Don't you forget about me
I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby
Going to take you apart
I'll put us back together at heart, baby

Don't You Forget About Me
Don't Don't Don't Don't
Don't You Forget About Me

As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
When you walk away

Or will you walk away?
Will you walk on by?
Come on - call my name
Will you call my name?

I say:
La la la...

simple minds - alive and kicking

You turn me on, you lift me up
And like the sweetest cup I'd share with you
You lift me up, don't you ever stop, I'm here with you
Now it's all or nothing
'Cause you say you'll follow through
You follow me, and I, I, I follow you
What you gonna do when things go wrong?
What you gonna do when it all cracks up?
What you gonna do when the Love burns down?
What you gonna do when the flames go up?
Who is gonna come and turn the tide?
What's it gonna take to make a dream survive?
Who's got the touch to calm the storm inside?
Who's gonna save you?
Alive and Kicking
Stay until your love is, Alive and Kicking
Stay until your love is, until your love is, Alive
Oh you lift me up to the crucial top, so I can see
Oh you lead me on, till the feelings come
And the lights that shine on
But if that don't mean nothing
Like if someday it should fall through
You'll take me home where the magic's from
And I'll be with you
What you gonna do when things go wrong?
What you gonna do when it all cracks up?
What you gonna do when the Love burns down?
What you gonna do when the flames go up?
Who is gonna come and turn the tide?
What's it gonna take to make a dream survive?
Who's got the touch to calm the storm inside?
Don't say goodbye
Don't say goodbye
In the final seconds who's gonna save you?
Oh, Alive and Kicking
Stay until your love is, love is, Alive and Kicking
Oh, Alive and Kicking
Stay until your love is, love is, Alive and Kicking

simple minds - constantinople line

Hey Waiter
I'm first class
Hey Waiter
Where are we now?
Am I last
Am I last
Hey Waiter
Don't talk back
These tenants speak
A traveller's language
Caucasian talk
They're saying nothing
I see a land
As we crawl by night
I see a face
In the window in front

These stations are useful
These stations we love them
Newspaper
Encounter
Confusion

Hey Waiter
I'm first class
Hey Waiter
What state is this?
These reptiles scream
A violent party
All art and jazz
And League of Nations
I see a land
As we crawl by night
I see a face
In the window in front
The east is calling
I'm feeling nervous
I love the western
Style and change

These stations are useful
These stations we love them
These stations are useful
These stations we love them
Newspaper
Encounter
Confusion

simple minds - all tomorrow s parties

And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
A hand-me-down dress from who knows where
To all tomorrow's parties
And where will she go and what shall she do
When midnight comes around
She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown
And cry behind the door

And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
Why silks and linens of yesterday's gowns
To all tomorrow's parties

And what will she do with Thursday's rags
When Monday comes around
She'll turn once more to Sunday's clown
And cry behind the door

And what costume shall the poor girl wear
To all tomorrow's parties
For Thursday's child is Sunday's clown
For whom none will go mourning

A blackened shroud, a hand-me-down gown
Of rags and silks, a costume
Fit for one who sits and cries
For all tomorrow's parties

simple minds - white hot day

In time only time speak for time in time
Time calls time cries, sweet friend of mine
Time could be a place
Spirit and a face
Take drops through time
While way below the whirlwinds will blow
A pretty nation sleeps in time
The beauty of it is
We're waking up to shake the hand of time

In time only time we'll speak for time
On a quiet night of a white hot day
Whisper the things that'll come our way
On a quiet night of a white hot day
Hold back the years hold back the years

Time calls time cries, sounds like a friend of mine
Time will run to meet the slick and shiny beast
That creeps to me through time
While way below the whirlwinds will blow
A pretty nation sleeps in time
The beauty of it is
We're waking up to shake the hand of time

In time only time in time only time in time
On a quiet night of a white hot day
Whisper the things that'll come our way
On a quiet night of a white hot day
Hold back the tears hold back the tears

In time only time speak for time
Quiet night of a white hot day
Whisper the things that'll come our way
On a quiet night of a white hot day
Hold back the tears hold back the tears

In time only time
Quiet night of a white hot day
Whisper the things that'll come our way
On a quiet, on a quiet night of a white hot day
Roll back the years roll back the years

In time only time we'll speak for time
On a quiet night
Hold back the tears to another day
Quiet night of a white hot day
Hold back the tears hold back the tears

In time only time speak for time
Quiet night of a white hot day
Whisper the things that'll come our way
On a quiet, on a quiet night of a white hot day
We'll hold back the tears

In time only time speak for time
Quiet night of a white hot day
Hold back the tears to another day
On a quiet night of a white hot day
Whisper the things ...

simple minds - mandeladay

It was 25 years they take that man away
Now the freedom moves in closer every day
Wipe the tears down from your saddened eyes
They say Mandela's free so step outside
Oh oh oh oh Mandela day
Oh oh oh oh Mandela's free

It was 25 years ago this very day
Held behind four walls all through night and day
Still the children know the story of that man
And I know what's going on right through your land

25 years ago
Na na na na Mandela day
Oh oh oh Mandela's free

If the tears are flowing wipe them from your face
I can feel his heartbeat moving deep inside
It was 25 years they took that man away
And now the world come down say Nelson Mandela's free

Oh oh oh oh Mandela's free

The rising suns sets Mandela on his way
Its been 25 years around this very day
From the one outside to the ones inside we say
Oh oh oh oh Mandela's free
Oh oh oh set Mandela free

Na na na na Mandela day
Na na na na Mandela's free

25 years ago
What's going on
And we know what's going on
Cos we know what's going on

simple minds - let there be love

Secrets of lovers
Whisper tonight
Broken down angel
Got lost in the cold daylight
The city is screaming
And I look for your eyes
Someone to lean on through the night
Your music talks to me and hits me tonight
One candle burning, I hear your voice say

So let there be love
Let there be love
Love
Let there be love

It heals and it hurts
She leads you to heaven's door
And leaves you for dirt

Someone to lean on, that's your own
Some magic conquers me and lives in my soul,
She comes like an ocean and I hear you sing
Love will conquer anything

So let it be love
Let it be love
Love
Let it be love

The wall's down
They're coming down
I can't slow
I know it now
So stay now
Hold on
And I'm praying

So let it be love
Let it be love
Love
Let it be love

I know what I want
I know what I feel
I know what I want

So let there be love
So let there be love
Let there be love

simple minds - someone somewhere in summertime

Stay, I?m burning slow
With me in the rain, walking in the soft rain
Calling out my name
See me burning slow

Brilliant days, wake up on brilliant days
Shadows of brilliant ways will change all the time
Memories, burning gold memories
Gold of day memories change me in these times

Somewhere there is some place, that one million eyes can?t see
And somewhere there is someone, who can see what I can see

Someone, somewhere in summertime
Someone, somewhere in summertime
Someone, somewhere in summertime

Moments burn, slow burning golden nights
Once more see city lights, holding candles to the flame
Brilliant days, wake up on brilliant days
Shadows of brilliant ways will change me all the time

Somewhere there is some place, that one million eyes can?t see
And somewhere there is someone, who can see what I can see

Someone, somewhere in summertime
Someone, somewhere in summertime
Someone, somewhere in summertime
Someone, somewhere in summertime
Someone, somewhere in summertime

simple minds - soul crying out

Listen to the rhythm
Listen to the beat
It has a cold wind blowing
Up through the street
Soul crying out
People crying out
In through the valleys
In through the streets
Feel the whole world moving
Underneath our feet
Something's going on
I said what is going wrong

I feel them coming
So close behind
Sister says, we're next in line
The man he says, that's OK
And the Government says you're gonna pay, pay, pay
And you pay
Still you pay

It's just a soul crying out
It's just the people crying out
It's the land crying out
And I can hear you crying out

And I say, I don't know
Maybe I don't care
What I know is
I gotta get out of here
And I'm going
Going any day
Some sweet day
Some sweet day
I gotta find a way

I can hear the lovers, whisper in the street
See a crowd has gathered underneath the heat
I hear what they say
But I don't believe what they say

I see the woman, with tears in her eyes
I hear the baby, calling in the night
Something on the bed, was it something she said
Hell this is not right
What goes on through the night

I hear her coming, all in my mind
Sweet common love, so hard to find
Someone said, man that's sa
And the people walk by, cos they're so blind

And you pay
Still you pay

It's just a soul crying out
Just the people crying out
It's the earth crying out
And I can hear you crying out
And I can feel you crying out

And I say, I don't know
Maybe I don't care
All I know is, I gotta get out of here
And I'm going, going any way
Do you know, some place to go
I'm getting out of here

Where will I find some peace of mind
I'm getting out of here

I come walking to you
I come singing to you
Some sweet day
I'm gonna walk away
I'm gonna walk away

It's just the soul crying out
It's just the land crying out
It's just the children crying out
All the babies crying out

Any way, some sweet day
I'm gonna walk away
Turn away

It's just the soul crying out
It's just the land crying out

I wanna hear
I want you here
Some sweet day

Just a soul crying out
Of a land crying out anyway
When you say
Some sweet day...

simple minds - i wish you were here

Footsteps,
I can hear footsteps in the hall
I hear footsteps,
Seems like i've been through this before
Some time has come now
Some time has passed
But things still look the same
Is heaven all above
And the questions still remain
Can we see you?
Are we near you?
How could you disappear out of here?
I wish for something-
I wish you were here

Footsteps,
I can hear footsteps in the hall
I hear footsteps,
It seems like i've been through this before
Well we loved you then,
I guess we always will
We love you still from here
Birds of a feather always stay together,
And never separate,
No fear.

Footsteps,
I can hear footsteps in the hall
I hear footsteps,
Seems like i've been through this before
If all the world was turning
Blue and gold,
Like through your eyes so clear,
The time has come to celebrate our past
And crystalize this sphere.
Can we see you?
Are we near you?
How can you disappear out of here?
I wish for something
Can we see you?
Are we near you?
How can you disappear out of here?
I wish for something

There will come a day,
Oh some day or day will come,
Our day will come, our day will come

simple minds - underneath the ice

Underneath The Ice

Although every building?s standing tall,
I look to you as something that much greater.
I searched through all religion, in the hope that something would entice.
I dreamed of crossing bridges, mountain ridges,
From the Pole to the Equator,
But when I saw you skating by ? I was underneath the ice.
I woke up staring at the sun,
I searched for you in every hidden angle.
All through my imagination, every face and place, every memory inside,
High above the clouds they say there are galaxies and other destinations...
And then I saw you skating by - but I was underneath the ice.

Today I dreamed another dream, predestined to come and save me... later,
Today I dreamed another dream that you would come to take me home,
From underneath the ice

simple minds - hypnotised

I can feel the whole world spinning around
I'm losing ground
I feel it every day
And I can feel you coming inside out
I'm losing touch with all reality

I remember the look in your eyes
The way that they pulled me inside

All I've got now in my defense is my innocence
I've been hypnotised

I can hear the church bells ringing out
Reminds me of some bright and sunshine day
When all the prettyhorses you would ride would come right back
To feel your energy

I still remember the look in your eyes
The way that they filled me inside

All I've got now in my defense is my innocence
I've been hypnotised

You know it won't be easy
It's never easy
I've been hypnotised

So tell me what you think
Do you think I'll sink number one scapegoat
I'm the missing link
All I know
I've been hypnotised

It won't be easy

If you've got a heart that burns inside
Let me get inside
Let me tangle with the flames
If you've got a light that burns inside
The heat will rise and melt down once again

I still remember the look in your eyes
The way that they pulled me inside

All I've got now in my defense is my innocence
I've been hypnotised
All I've got now in my defense is my innocence
I've been hypnotised

So tell me what you think
Do you think I'll sink number one scapegoat
I'm the missing link
All I know
I've been hypnotised

I'm waiting for a sign
Help me realign
Maybe it's a sin, I know
But it's not a crime
All I know
I've been hypnotised

Maybe there's a way
I can find a way
Final hour, judgement day
All I know
I've been hypnotised

And then I realize...

simple minds - kiss and fly

Was my imagination, or they told me it was there?
But I could see.
Within that situation everything?s a cross to bear.
I feel.
Some are in a coma,
Some are without sight.
You can feel the transformation in their bodies in the night.
Gone translucent, encircled in light

So bring back the lover?s chains.
No letters need reply.
Move over what remains.
Let us go kiss and fly.

Was only one solution that was in my head,
That I could see.
Spiritual confusion so more than I could stand,
I could feel.

Like someone in a coma,
Someone without sight.
Feel it in my body, feel it every night.
Gone translucent, encirled in light.

So bring back the lovers chains.
No need letters need reply.
Move over what remains.
And let us go kiss and fly.

Bring back the lovers arms,
Oh let me go deep inside.
Cool over all remains,
And let us go kiss and fly.

Kiss and fly,
kiss and fly.

I don?t think there?s much to tell you.
I don?t think there?s much to say.
I don?t think there?s much to tell you.
I know that you know so much more.

simple minds - moscow underground

Descended from a world of darkened places,
Descended from a world that?s lost control,
Suspended between time and fractured places,
I?m waiting for the fall here on my own.
Please take me down where the rain drops,
Please take me down, down below.
Please hold me here where the dreams stop,
Please leave me here on my own.

It was fate that took me down into the place,
I want to cross the borders of control.
Take me to the shrine that?s in your basement,
And hold me in that place I?ll lose it all.

So please take me down where the rain drops,
Please take me down so far below.
Come take me down to where my dream stops.
I don?t know where else I can go.

So please take me down to where the rain drops,
Please lay me down, down below.
Please leave me here where the dream stops,
Cause I don?t know where else I can go.
