It’s 30 years since we released “Simple” on CD. It was made single of the week on BBC Radio 1 Evening Session, so to celebrate, we’ve recorded an acoustic version again.

lyrics

It never was that simple, the feelings in my head
try to rearrange the things that I had done and said
It never was that easy, trying to contend
With the anger surging through my blood right to my finger-ends

Thought that I could sort it out, tell you what I knew
Tell you what I thought about, to think I’d tell you

I never did believe you, you covered it so well
And if you ever get a life, I hope that it's in hell
I wish that I could kill you, I'd slit your ugly throat
I'd wrap you up in concrete and throw you from a boat

Oh no, oh no
Oh no

It's not that simple, it never was that simple, it's not that simple

If You push me on much further, I'm gonna lose my head
And if I focus with my eyes, I'd probably see red
You'll never feel my anger cause it happens far too quick
I'll open and I'll close up but you won't feel a prick

Thought that I could sort it out, tell you what I knew
Tell you what I thought about, y’ think I’d tell you

You say I'm being nasty, but you haven't seen the worst
I get up to my old tricks and that'll really hurt
I know that you'll be waiting, picking up on threads
Of faking information that's grown in your head

Oh no, oh no
Oh no
It's not that simple, it never was that simple, it's not that simple
