Great Leap Forwards Lyrics - Good News From The Next World - Simple Minds

I jumped up like Apollo 

Crash landed on my feet 

The sun shot like a laser through my brain 

A little death had woken up 

And put a curse on me 

But I knew that that I'd be coming back again 

Inspiration, across the nation 

There's a poverty of expectation 

All I got to do was move ahead 

It's a blue sky 

It's a while cloud 

It's a flame 

It's a blue sky 

White cloud 

Burning flame

I shot back to the mirror 

There was nothing left to see 

But a phantom with his heartbeat deep inside 

I could feel the dust of ages 

They were blowing back at me 

But I knew that I was born to get it right 

Everybody take the great leap forward 

Everybody knows the mysteries at hand 

If you've been praying all those sweet days for this 

Don't you know there is a whole different plan 

Sometimes I hear the madman calling 

He talks about some dark eternal place 

I've been waiting all my lifetime for this moment 

And now I've got to find some other ways 

Photos 

One touch ignites this eagle 

One kiss for heavens view 

I need the flame so I can feel alive 

You can tell my little brother 

No requiem for me 

I knew that I was born to make this flight 

Inspiration across the nation 

There's a poverty of expectation 

All I got to do was move ahead
