Simply Red
Simply Red are an English soul and pop band that has sold more than 50 million albums since the mid 1980s. Their style draws upon influences ranging from blue-eyed soul, New Romantic and rock to reggae and jazz. From their early days, the main driving force behind the band was singer/songwriter Mick Hucknall, who, by the time the band was disbanded in 2010, was the only original member left. At the 1992 and 1993 Brit Awards, they received the award for Best British Group. The group was reactivated in 2015, and continues to record and tour.
History
Pre-history: The Frantic Elevators (1977–1984)
Simply Red's origination dates from a 1976 Sex Pistols gig at the Lesser Free Trade Hall in Manchester, England. Manchester art student Mick Hucknall was one of the few young music fans present, along with Mark E. Smith of The Fall as well as original members of the bands Joy Division, The Smiths and Buzzcocks. The first incarnation of the band was a punk group called The Frantic Elevators, whose 7-year run produced limited releases on local labels and ended in 1984 upon critical acclaim for their final single, "Holding Back the Years".

How Could I Fall
by: Simply RedHow could I fall for someone so superficial?
Funny how the things that you can never have
Needle you more
Tired of standing in the rain
Praying for sunshine again
I remember your eyes
Wish I could see through them
How could I fall
If I could
Our love was like the wind
We blew it away
Tired of dealing with your games
Praying I'll never need you again
I remember your eyes
Wish I could see through them
We could have loved so much
Why didn't we try to make it right
Would it have been enough
If I could
I remember your eyes
Wish I could see through them
How could I fall
