Lyrics
The road opens wide,
There’s space here for two of us.
If I could slip under the wire
We’d wait here, just stay here a while.
Slumped, my body’s tired
And this fear never lets me sleep.
Your smile this trial elates,
In your eyes I see mothers open gates.
If fortune could smile
There’d be room here for two of us
And I would burn myself through the wires.
With hate concentrated, unearthed, disparate, in time.
Once in a while,
If peace held for two of us,
If we could show mercy awhile,
With patience transcending this cold never ending through time.
And if home still matters,
If these bones were not so shattered,
What state, so desperate,
Within a hollow shell, in a forgotten state.
Come tear the dirt from my eyes.
Simple Minds have been musical pioneers for 40 glittering years. Catching the mood of the post-punk era, when the angry sounds of 1977 were splintering into a thousand different shapes, they emerged with a style rooted in the art-rock of David Bowie and the electronic dance of Donna Summer. They went on to become one of the great bands of their generation, deploying rousing choruses and booming atmospherics to provide a soundtrack that has endured. They topped the American chart with Don’t You (Forget About Me) and followed suit in the UK with the Ballad Of The Streets EP (featuring Belfast Child). In selling over 60 million records, they have seen three of their 20 studio albums reach number one in the UK – Sparkle In The Rain, Once Upon A Time and Street Fighting Years – a chart-topping feat equalled by their live album Live In The City Of Light and the compilation Glittering Prize. A spellbinding touring band, they have graced the world’s biggest stadiums. They starred at Live Aid and played three momentous London shows in honour of Nelson Mandela. The past decade has also seen a remarkable resurgence, their world-class credentials acknowledged by a Q magazine Inspiration award in 2014 and an Ivor Novello in 2016. They are now marking their 40th anniversary with a world tour, live album and career-spanning compilation.
