Duran Duran과 New Order, Depeche Mode들이 재전성기를 맞이하면서 팝씬은 80년대의 사운드를 다시 재현하고 나섰다. 그리고 여기에 25년의 음악 활동으로 한 세대를 규정지을 수 있는 Simple Minds가 그들의 고전 New Gold Dream 이래로 최고의 앨범이 될 Black and White 050505로 영향력을 과시하며 재등장한다. 포스트펑트 아트락을 표방하며 등장한 이들이 U2와 같은 대서사적 사운드를 거쳐 종착한 곳은 좀 더 친숙한 팝스타일로, 당신의 오감을 만족시킬 것이다.
The road opens wide There is space here for two of us If I could slip under the wire We'd wait here Just stay here a while Slumped, the 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 a while With patience Transcending This coldness, never ending, thru time
And if home still matters And 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
God gave me travelling shoes God gave me the wanderer's eye God gave a few gold coins to help me to the other side Looked around and said - be careful how the small things grow God gives me travelling shoes And I knew that it was time to go. He then sent in the ship at night To take me to the hidden port Found me the key at last To open up the prison door Brought down blackbirds wings Gifted me with beggars eyes Sent in the jackals To tell me I should say bye, bye, bye I'm home Home Home, Home, Home And I'm home Home Home, Home, Home But I'm miles and miles and miles and miles and miles away Oh where can I hide ? God gave me one last chance Gave me one last reprieve He then gave me hunger Gave me the air to breath Gave one suit case Gave one last goodbye Gave me travelling shoes And without them I would surely die, die ,die
Home Home Home, Home, Home Home Home Home, Home, Home Miles and miles and miles and miles and miles away Miles and miles and miles and miles and miles away Oh where do I go ? Oh where can I hide ? Home Home Home, Home, Home
And I'm home Home Home, Home, Home And I'm miles away Miles away Im running far away
Tell me why. Do you know what were looking for? Any truth in the rumours I ignore? Tell me why, I still deny? Anytime secrets, in every sound. I can keep my feet up off the ground. I'm in the air, reeling everywhere. There's something new and I must say. It makes me feel so super real. Just look and you'll find. We are drifting through space and time.
Stranger, beautiful stranger, Come tell me if you are, the silent star, Explain! Stranger, beautiful stranger, I wonder if you are the silent star, Explain.
Tell me why, do you know what we're looking for? Any truth in the rumours I ignore? Then tell me why I still deny?
Summertime, Winter, Moonlight, And the Sun. I get the feeling this has just begun, And yet it feels so super real. Look and you'll find, We are moving through space and time.
It's all right. It's all right. Let me go high. Let me go high.
Let me go high into a different world. Let me go high into a different world.
It's all right, it's ok to believe in something. You find the spark inside yourself. It begins from nothing, from the man of the cave to the soul of the brave, for the love of God. Let me go now.
Let me go high into a different world. Let me go high into a different world. Let me go high into a different world.
It's all right, it's ok to believe in something, but if it falls between ourselves could kill like nothing. From the man of the cave to the soul of the brave. For the love of God, let me close now.
Let me go high into a different world. Let me go high into a different world. Let me go by into a different world. Let me go high into a different world. Let me go high into a different world.
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 a" 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,
I'm in a golden temple, in a bombed out street, feel the rough and tumble down where the borders meet. I hear a sandstorm falling down where the tears have dried and there's a west wind calling, but I get no reply.
And I kiss the ground, I kiss the ground, nothing around.
There is no hidden karma, there is no sacred plight, there is no special armour to take me through the night.
I kiss the ground, I kiss the ground, nothing around,
I kiss the ground. I kiss the ground, nothing around.
Into the space between us, into the words that say that every law demeans us then every price you pay.
There is no hidden karma, there is no sacred plight, there is no special armour to take me through the night.
I kiss the ground, I kiss the ground, nothing around,
I kiss the ground. I kiss the ground, I kiss the ground, nothing around,
I kiss the ground.
There is no manna-mania, there is no banquet here, there is only ghettoes.
