Simple Minds - Speed Your Love To Me Lyrics






I couldn't sleep a wink last night
I'd love to hold on
Love to see the fires in motion
Love to feel a free world turn tonight

Run till we come, until we be
Speed your love to me
Run till we come, until we be
Speed your love

Run till we come, until we be
Speed your love to me
She would like to make a wish
Twenty fourth cannot be this
He moved at the speed of light
Through the day and through the night
Fire from the flame of youth
Fire

Run till we come, until we be
Speed your love to me

Just my imagination, just my imagination
You go to my head, you go to my head
With the flames that go higher and higher
And higher and higher and higher and higher
Over and over to me, speeds your love

I couldn't sleep a wink last night
I'd love to hold on
Love to see the fires in motion
I'd love to feel a free world turn tonight

Run till we come, until we be
Speed your love to me

Just my imagination, just my imagination
You go to my head, you go to my head
With the flames that go higher and higher
And higher and higher and higher and higher
Over and over to me, speeds your love

Run till we come, until we be
Speed your love

You go to my head, you go to my head
You go to my head, over me.
Higher and higher, higher and higher
All across to me

    很好! Best song of the Eighties.

    This reminds me a lot of U2. I know they're very similar bands, but this definitely sounds a lot like them

  7. K.... M....

    My favourite track of SM. Thanks from Russia!

    Can any Australians imagine the RAGE logo rising out of the water at 1:57?

  10. R.... B....

    Minha música preferida do Simple Minds 😍

  11. J.... ....

    This should have been a hit in the US. There was so much good stuff then you'd have to pick which song to release as a single.

  12. C.... V....

    Amazing 80

  13. P.... B....

    Excellent, always been a song that takes me back..

  14. N.... J....

    From a time when it was great to be teenager...oh wish I was there again

  15. Q.... ....

    RAGE RAGE RA-RA-RAGE RAGE RAGE RAGE R-R-R-R-R-R-R -RAAAAGE

  16. P.... ....

  17. T.... V....

    Kirsty MacColl ..

  18. T.... ....

    Temazo !

  19. T.... G....

    One of the most beautiful and intense song ever. Just total brilliance ❤
    ❤❤

  20. E.... ....

    that bass

  21. S.... C....

    This song is Romantic to its core, and it soars and climbs like love and longing do. It is wound up and it is set free. It goes to my head.

  22. l.... ....

    Good music! 🔝

  23. J.... J....

    Beautiful voice

  24. R.... F....

  29. S.... ....

    My ultimate favourite Simple Minds song. Magnificent.

  30. O.... B....

    RIP GIRL'S VOICE

  31. V.... D....

    This version is good but the 12 inch version is amazing. That version flows whereas the 7 inch version sounds like it has been edited too much.

    V.... D....

    You're right. The extended ending is breathtaking and awesome. And also at the very end of 12" version you can hear some extra lyrics like "You gotta move ..."

  32. D.... S....

    A natural progression from the so called coffee table album. Their words not mine.

  33. S.... C....

    Chi ha vissuto gli anni ottanta nn dimenticherà mai i simple minds. Specialmente dal vivo a Roma nel febbraio del 1986 palaeur. Quella notte nevico addirittura. 🌨☃️

  34. M.... S....

    One of my Happy Songs. Im so glad I was young in the days of great music, out there outfits and less technology....

  35. J.... G....

    62/5000
    The greatest song of Simple Minds in the 80s.Magnificient.

  36. P.... ....

    steve lillywhite and simple minds - fantastic , like with Big Country he made the big bands sound even bigger.

  37. J.... S....

    this goes to my head

  38. M.... ....

    Kirsty mccoll was backing singer on this

  39. k.... ....

    I traveled to England as a teenager in 1987. I took my Sanyo portable radio and cassette player to record music from the radio there. It was 3 am and I found this alternative radio station, there I learned about the Ramones, The Cure and Simple Minds! They played Speed your love and I thought it was the best thing ever! I wanted to jump and dance! But i couldn’t it was too late. Back in America I showed all my recordings to my friends.

  40. S.... Z....

    Happy 60th birthday Jim💜

  41. P.... S....

    how can 99 people dislike this are you fucking mad??? you need to go throw yourself off a cliff!

  42. V.... D....

    THIS is literally my favorite song ever! When they played in Rochester NY in '86, I got my way to the front of the stage. When this song started, I was so freaking excited. During the chorus, he came to our side of the stage, crouched down and held my hand. Not sure how I didn't pass right out. 33 years later, I can remember every moment...

    V.... D....

    What a great experience

    V.... D....

    Glory days Valerie. Went to see them in Dublin a couple of years ago and they’re still class.
    My fav tune of theirs aswell 👌 🇮🇪

  43. H.... ....

    Rage brought me here. The intro that samples this song continues to be used for the Australian Music show for the past 30 years. Great song.

  44. �.... �....

    Higher and jigher...

  45. K.... C....

    You know you're Australian when you hear this on the ending credits for the show 'rage'

  46. D.... S....

    Wow. When this album was released after 81.82 ...it really was a kick in the nuts.

  47. Z.... ....

    this formation simply couldn't be beaten or replicated

  48. J.... C....

    Beautiful writing Thomas Edouard. Thank you.

  49. A.... A....

    The power of Rock.

  50. T.... B....

    Absolutely love this track

  51. J.... G....

    All these years later this song still sounds so crisp and strong. ❤

  52. T.... B....

    Wow, I still feel this. Brilliant... amazing...

  53. S.... P....

    It's positively criminal that Simple Minds have not yet been inducted into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame! Ditto for Echo & the Bunnymen and The Psychedelic Furs.

  54. I.... S....

    First they created musical iconostasis of the 80s- New Gold Dream. And two years later, this pure tsunami. Guitar-easily the strongest intro to one real r'n'r' storm. But God, wtf is going on in 1:31!? Musical Supernova? So lets make a summary: '82 New Gold Dream as absolutely the best as a whole; '84 Sparkle in the rain, with this and other bombs; and just couple of months later, in '85 Once upon a time. Did ANYONE had such a production with so many pure masterpieces. No way. Maybe I am wrong, but DD was always easy, SB had couple of direct hits to target, but because of obvious reasons, as such was, only SM deserved to enter to the real Hall of Fame. Punctum.

  55. F.... D....

    Speed your love......🙏

  56. N.... M....

    1982, i went to them concert in sicily Messina...first concert of my life...there was there 200 person...was pratically unknown group new wave..

  57. K.... A....

    Nearly one million clicks!

  58. S.... N....

    Saw Simple Minds on Sons and Fascination, New Gold Dream, and finally this tour. Blown away each time. I spent my university years wanting to be as cool and alien as Jim Kerr. I still go through S&F kicks in particular - the ethereal surreality of that output still can knock me clean out of this world.

  59. D.... F....

    Jesus Christ, this is beautiful.

  60. P.... P....

    wat een krachtig nummer

  61. U.... ....

    Everyone had their own style and personality..much simpler times when people actually communicated and weren't afraid to be emotive and put oneself out there.

  62. j.... d....

    I was a teenager in the 60s, after 73 the music went to sheet, then came the new wave to save us, but here we are once again, surrounded mostly by sheet, you have to wade through a ton of garbage to get to a life raft these days.

  63. k.... ....

    When I was a kid in the 80s, whenever Simple Minds came on, I was glued to the television. There was something incredibly magnetic about Jim Kerr. The way he looks into the camera with those eyes. Such a fantastic singer and band. I'll always love this band. 💕

    k.... ....

    @kleo8577 I agree!

  64. v.... ....

    So they had the big sound here, but it wasn't yet overblown

  65. v.... ....

    The imagery here goes well with the Sons and Fascination artwork

  66. P.... G....

    I'm a Millennial and i love 80s music compared to today's music

  67. A.... R....

    tremenda banda

  68. d.... s....

    alguem do brasil ai?

  69. B.... K....

  71. A.... D....

    I LOVE this songs 💋

  72. t.... ....

    If perfection exists, this song is as close to it as it gets....I loved this band when I was in school....and I still love them at 50...my favorite from SM

  73. C.... d....

    Promo for Burtons fashions. Very nice, must get me a pair of pleated trousers with the turn ups mmmmm

  74. M.... D....

    Semplicemente fantastici. Non serve aggiungere altro.

  75. D.... R....

    Quality tune from a quality band.

  76. V.... V....

    Love Love Them! Was 17 when New Wave started. Saw them in Miami Nov. 2018. Wonderful Concert.

  77. N.... H....

    Brilliant

  79. F.... K....

    After thirty years i still remain fan of Simple Minds!What else i can say!

  80. L.... C....

    Amazing sond, fantastic band, the best of the 80's pop culture !!!
    How i miss those times...

    ... She would like to make a wish....

  81. G.... P....

    My favorite simple minds song
    Brought the 12 inch vinyl record

  82. b.... v....

    que des bon souvenirs

  83. B.... S....

    Most of my life, all I knew about Simple Minds was "Don't you forget about me", and I'm pretty sure that's the case with most people on the planet.
    But as I listen to more of them, I realize just how incredible some of their songs are. It's not that "Don't you forget about me" is a bad song, It's good. It's just that it's all anybody plays by Simple Minds, and they have so many songs that are so much better. I absolutely fell in love with this song in particular.

    B.... S....

    Totally agreed. Same with depeche mode and duran duran. Even crowded house. I'm in my early 30s and also only ever heard their radio-played songs... until a few years ago. They all have epic stuff that many people never experience

  84. W.... D....

    ^-^ I never heard this song before rn.

  85. T.... G....

    Fantastic song and loch lomond forever Scotland in my head

  86. G.... M....

    Has anyone mentioned that this is the greatest song ever written? Well it is.

  87. Z.... ....

    Nostalgia in excelsis

  88. 1.... ....

    Great song from a great album!

  89. m.... ....

    Scotland's finest bands, typical British masterclass musicians.
    It makes my soul elevate to a different dimension!

  90. P.... M....

    A song that always reminds me of my true love .......Lindsay Reid !!!!

  91. A.... M....

    Tanks, Simple........

  92. M.... ....

    Magic Simple Minds

  93. J.... C....

    Raaaaaaaage

  94. C.... P....

    Thanks, Jim..you came to mind while studying logarithms. No idea why, but it was '..just my imagination.'

  95. g.... w....

    Apparently the late Kirsty MacColl sings backing vocals on this but I can't make out her voice anywhere on it.

    g.... w....

    When Kerr sings "Run till we come on till we be" you can hear how Kirsty continiues "beeee.."

  96. B.... S....

    Yes do it, speed your love to me. Can't wait anymore. Great song.

  97. n.... ....

    Great band, one of a kind

  98. h.... ....

    Why don't they do this song very often anymore? Or when they do, it's acoustic? This goes OFF
