Simple Minds – I travel 1980

Simple Minds – I travel 1980

(Instrumental)

Cities, buildings falling down
Ideal homes falling down
These pictures I see on the wall
Timeless leaders stand so tall
Assassin in a hit and run
Asia steals a new born son
Evacuees and refugees
Presidents and monarchies

Travel round
I travel round
Decadence and pleasure towns

Tragedies, luxuries, statues, parks and galleries

Travel round
I travel round
Decadence and pleasure towns

(Instrumental)

Europe has a language problem
Talk, talk, talk, talk, talking on
In central europe
Men are marching
Marching on and marching on
Love songs playing in the restaurants
Airport playing bi some lo lo lo lo ..

Travel round
I travel round
Decadence and pleasure towns

Tragedies,luxuries,statues,parks and galleries

Travel round
I travel round
Decadence and pleasure towns

(Instrumental)

Travel round
I travel round
Decadence and pleasure towns

Tragedies,luxuries,statues,parks and galleries

Europe has a language problem

And in central europe
Men are marching

    @TheNouveauxdecadence – I agree whole-heartedly. I like Real to Real Cacophony lp the best.

    I think they eventually caught U2 fever. That’s another band that could have been great. Now they’re the biggest and most boring band on the planet.

    I recall the hype right before Live in the City of Lights was released. Yawn……

    Oh well.

    What a pity after …
    What a pity after New Gold Dream Simple Minds started going complete crap MINUS “Up On The Catwalk” and “Speed Your Love To Me’ which are great tracks. “I Travel” is so uttttterly AMAZING, the extended version in particular is one of THE best dance records EVER made. Such pure delight + Simple Minds were SO original in their day. Stunning track forever, music will NEVER be the same as this again!

    where was I in those days, listening to the wrong music?
    Coldplay, Snowpatrol can even come near to the SM!
    They are still good, saw them last week, and they respect their fans, what not can be said about for example Oasis, they disrespect their fans at a live show….
    Simple Minds forever

    Oh, don’t lecture me on good behaviour. So you don’t think it’s annoying that everyone speaks English and then someone speaks German, knowing we don’t understand (well, I do a bit) but expects us to DO understand?

    Just speak English. If you don’t get it on school learn it elsewhere, simpleton.
