Simple Minds - Street Fighting Years Lyrics
Simple Minds - Belfast Child Lyrics
When my love said to me
Meet me down by the gallow tree
For it's sad news I bring
About this old town and all that it's offering
Simple Minds - Wall Of Love Lyrics
Ooh, great wall of love, build me a great wall of love
Oh, when the blind man sings about the peaceful things
You shout that it's not good enough
Simple Minds - This Is Your Land Lyrics
This is your land, it's the way it was planned
Sky to the sea, something to see
Old ancient town, to the old people ground
I wanna know, something to go
Simple Minds - Take A Step Back Lyrics
Go tell it on the mountain, like it burst forth like a fountain
Try to shake the deep foundations of this land
High up on lover's land, they got hotel rooms so grand
And no one here knows what goes behind closed doors
Simple Minds - Street Fighting Years Lyrics
Chased you out of this world
Didn't mean to stop
I turned around
And suddenly you where gone
Simple Minds - Soul Crying Out Lyrics
Listen to the rhythm, listen to the beat
It has a cold wind blowing up through the street
Soul crying out
People crying out
Simple Minds - Mandela Day Lyrics
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
Simple Minds - Let It All Come Down Lyrics
So let it all come, let it all come down
Let it all come, let it all come down
Sweet tears roll like a river from your eyes
Simple Minds - Kick It In Lyrics
Love gives me poetry
Stays up all night
And puts a curse on me
Oh, anything you want
Simple Minds - Biko Lyrics
September '77
Port Elizabeth weather fine
It was business as usual
In police room 619
Simple Minds - When Spirits Rise Lyrics
