    Lyrics
    Holding back the years
    Thinking of the fear I've had so long
    When somebody hears
    Listen to the fear that's gone
    Strangled by the wishes of pater
    Hoping for the arms of mater
    Get to me the sooner or later
    I'll keep holding on
    I'll keep holding on
    Holding back the years
    Chance for me to escape from all I've known
    Holding back the tears
    Cause nothing here has grown
    I've wasted all my tears
    Wasted all those years
    And nothing had the chance to be good
    Nothing ever could yeah, oh
    I'll keep holding on
    I'll keep holding on
    I'll keep holding on
    I'll keep holding on
    So tight
    I've wasted all my tears
    Wasted all of those years
    And nothing had the chance to be good
    Cause nothing ever could, oh, yeah
    Oh...
    I'll keep holding on
    I'll keep holding on
    I'll keep holding on
    I'll keep holding on
    Holding, holding, holding
    That's all I have today
    It's all I have to say

      To be honest I'm not a big Simply Red fan - I just haven't listened to all that much stuff and never owned an album - but like most of us who were around in the 80s/90s in the UK it's part of the scenery. For whatever reason I had this song in my head today and so I've gone on youtube to listen to it.. and I came across this. Wow! I might have passed up the next time I could have seen Mick Hucknall performing because he's been off the radar for so long - but having heard this, I'm surprised in the good way - he was always an incredible singer and it sounds like he's one of the few who hasn't lost the magic stuff over these past decades.

    Can you imagine? One song written when he was a teenager should prove to be so good, so solid and so, so dear to people that they can sing every lyric, every word, on time and in time. Better yet, to stand up there, be silent and let the crowd carry the tune - I can only imagine. How glorious.

      Not to say they could have not done better, but they were huge for around 10 years in Europe and South America. You could not open a radio for 2 hours without hearing their song and they could sell any stadium or festival at that time period. Neither did their popularity ever crash like some other pop acts after their peak.
