September '77
Port Elizabeth weather fine
It was business as usual
In police room 619
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Hiromija, Hiromija
The man is dead, the man is dead
When I try to sleep at night
I can only dream in red
The outside world is black and white
With only one colour dead
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Hiromija, Hiromija
The man is dead, the man is dead
You can blow out a candle
But you can never blow out a fire
Once the flames begin to catch
The wind will blow it higher
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Hiromija, Hiromija
The man is dead, the man is dead
And the eyes of the world are watching you now
They're watching you now, watching you now
Watching you now, watching you now
They're watching you now
You gotta waken up, you gotta face up
I think you gotta open up
The eyes of the world are watching you now
You gotta waken up, you gotta face up
You know you can never turn away
Never turn away

Simple Minds è un gruppo musicale rock britannico formatosi a Glasgow nel 1977. Considerati tra i più rappresentativi e influenti degli anni Ottanta e Novanta, hanno venduto circa 60 milioni di dischi in tutto il mondo.

Tra i brani più celebri figurano "Don't You (Forget About Me)", colonna sonora del film "The Breakfast Club", "Alive and Kicking" e "Belfast Child". Album importanti includono "New Gold Dream (81-82)" e "Sparkle in the Rain". I Simple Minds hanno collaborato con artisti come Eurythmics e Johnny Marr, influenzando generazioni di musicisti rock.
