I'm listening to it now and it is the Simple Minds version. Seriously. Thats not U2.

You are correct in it being a damn good song though. Its one of my favourite Simple Minds songs.

woops lol.... the person i got it off will get a right good telling off

sounds so much like U2

I dont know how you are but back in the 80's Simple Minds were actually bigger than U2. Simple Minds were famous for that huge stadium sound. U2 were similar. lol. Simple Minds kinda died with the public though.

Simple Minds new album will be released next month if anyone cares.

As soon as I saw the title I thought Simple Minds. That's a great song. Isn't the tune meant to be an interpretation of the old folk song "And she went down to the fair" (or something like that, I'm not au fait with your folkie bollocks!)

Yes, something like that. Either the words or the music are traditional. I cant recall which. I suppose I could go and grab the album cover and read the credits but Im too busy eating blackberry toast at the moment.
