Simple Minds - Kiss The Ground Lyrics
I'm in a golden temple,
In a bombed out street,
Feel the rough and tumble
Down where the borders meet.
I hear a sandstorm falling
And there's a west wind calling,
But I get no reply.
And I kiss the ground,
I kiss the ground,
Nothing around.
There is no hidden karma,
There is no sacred plight,
There is no special armour
I kiss the ground,
I kiss the ground,
Nothing around,
I kiss the ground.
I kiss the ground,
Nothing around.
Into the space between us,
Into the words that say
That every law demeans us
Then every price you pay.
There is no hidden karma,
There is no sacred plight,
There is no special armour
To take me through the night.
I kiss the ground,
I kiss the ground,
Nothing around,
I kiss the ground.
I kiss the ground,
I kiss the ground,
Nothing around,
I kiss the ground.
There is no manna-mania,
There is no banquet here,
There is only ghettoes.
I kiss the ground.

Simple Minds Kiss The Ground Comments
Best band from the 80s..
Beautiful. Spectral. Soaring. The 'Minds ++ slam dunk.
GRANDE STILE SOLO (SIMPLE MINDS)
This arrangement keeps my head just above the clouds - unable to kiss the ground.
SORRY, i remember this band but cant seem to remember the songs
bellissima...simple mind dream!!!!
brilliant band brilliant sounds
On this album they have went back to their early 80's funky artrock sound and the bass can breath, sounds so good <3 ! Eddy Duffy is the Man!
The most underrated track on Black and White 050505
I agree with you as awesome a band that they are, I myself don't compare them to U2 because where U2 to MY ears are exclusively a alternative band and to MY ears Simple Minds are a Prog/Alternative mix and I LOVE both styles so I DO like U2 but I LOVE Simple Minds!!
Dude, you speak wise words... it's like you just read my mind. "Sons and Fascination" as well as there first 8 albums were beyond words.
It pisses me off every day how under-appreciated Simple Minds are.... album after album after album... their music stands the test of time and never gets old.
Never be pished off Andrew, best band on the planet and as long as we know it who gives a stuff what other people think
Dream on u2 dolhings best band ever Jim Charlie mick mcneil
I am SM as they come and to me this is feeble lazy weak predictable and just a rehash of other mediocre efforts
Simple Minds has been at the very TOP first on my fav list since I first heard them in 1982, and still counting.
Fantstic song!!!!!!
This should have more views. It's a strong song that builds up nicely. And to those people who don't rate Kerr's lyrics then i suggest you listen carefully to this or just read the lyrics -helpfully put up here.
It really pisses me off that a lot of people either are barely aware of who SM's are or they dismiss 'em or simply don't realise how rich, varied and innovative this great Scottish band are. There is not one bad or..medicore..song on their last album. Compare that with u2's last album which is poor in comparison. And i am saying that having been a huge u2 fan once upon a time!
It's true! :(
