Simple Minds - Take A Step Back Lyrics






Go tell it on the mountain
Like it burst forth like a fountain
Try to shake the deep foundations of this land
High up on lover's land
They got hotel rooms so grand
And no one here knows what goes behind closed doors
Take a step back to the middle of the track
Don't you know it's rumoured all around
Says you know it's come to town
Come on and take a step back to the middle of the track
'Cos the rumours are around said you're coming back to town

And with every little lie
You come and never blink an eye
You know you've got yourself all tied up
When you're around
I've got the modern world behind me
Like a needle in a haystack find me
They build you up and then they're going to burn you down

So take a step back to the middle of the track
The rumours all around
Said you're coming back to me
Come on and take a step back to the middle of the track
Says you know it's going upside, you know what's going down

I'm haunted by the wanderer deep inside
Wanted by
Haunted by
I'm haunted by the wanderer that's deep in my soul

Gonna look back to the middle of the track
And you know it's going upside
Le, le, da, le
Telling me
Ah ha, uh hu

Ooh look back to the middle of the track
And you know it's going upside
Telling me...

Don't tell me it's a bad dream
Don't tell me it's not what it seems
Don't tell me pretty soon you know

Gotta stop the roller coaster
Gotta make the most of it
Gonna pull you down

Gotta make the most of it
Better cool it down

    Go tell it on the mountain
    Like it burst 4th like a fountain
    Try to shake the deep foundations of this land
    High up on lovers land
    They got hotel rooms so grand
    And no one here knows what goes behind closed doors

    Take a step back to the middle of the track
    Don't you know it's rumoured all around
    Says you in its come to town
    Come on and take a step back to the middle of the track
    'Cause the rumours are around said you're coming back to town

    And with every little lie
    You come and never blink an eye
    You know you've got yourself all tied up
    When you're around
    I've got the modern world behind me
    Like a needle in a haystack, find me
    They build you up and then they're going to burn you down

    So take a step back to the middle of the track
    The rumours all around
    Said you're coming back to me
    Come on and take a step back to the middle of the track
    Says you know it's going upside, you know what's going down

    I'm haunted by the wanderer deep inside
    Wanted by
    Haunted by
    I'm haunted by the wanderer that's deep in my soul

    Gonna look back to the middle of the track
    And you know it's going upside
    Le, le, da, le
    Telling me
    Ah ha, uh hu

    Ooh look back to the middle of the track
    And you know it's going upside
    Telling me...

    Don't tell me it's a bad dream
    Don't tell me it's not what it seems
    Don't tell me pretty soon you know

    Gotta stop the roller coaster
    Gotta make the most of it
    Gonna pull you down

    Gotta make the most of it
    Better cool it down

    great album

  11. p.... ....

    terrible song. they were obviously out of ideas or something for this song. it sounds as if they're bored.

    p.... ....

    I agree. Either that or they were trying too hard. Still a great group but this sounds like it was made for a Miami Vice episode. Not terrible just overly dramatic.       (Not a diss Michael Mann, just a description). Lol.

    p.... ....

    Couple of bell-ends here LOL!! fucking youtube critics, world class tossers.. @Mannchild11

    p.... ....

    They've had four years to reflect on their lunacy
