    Holding Back the Years

    Simply Red was at #1 with this song 40 years ago today.

    “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”
