Mike + the Mechanics

Mike and the Mechanics (stylised as Mike + The Mechanics) are an English rock supergroup formed in Dover in 1985 by Mike Rutherford, initially as a side project during a hiatus period for his other group Genesis. The band are known for the hit singles "Silent Running", "All I Need Is a Miracle", "Taken In", "The Living Years", "Word of Mouth", and "Over My Shoulder". Initially, the band included Rutherford (the only constant member), vocalists Paul Carrack and Paul Young, keyboardist Adrian Lee, and drummer Peter Van Hooke. After a decade together, Lee and Van Hooke dropped out in 1995 and were not replaced.

Friend of mine
Friend of mine
Told me about a girl that I left behind
Said she was living on her own
And I said she needed to go home

So I tried to find
Tried to find
But she's elusive at the best of times
Best of times
I tried to get inside her head
I tried to think of what I said

Yeah, I was looking through the cold dark nights
But there was nothing to find
I asked a stranger if he knew your name
Said you nearly lost your mind

Looking for the high life
'Cause it's over now
Said that you could see it
In her eyes
Looking for the high life
Wasn't working out
But she'll be looking for the rest of her life
But she'll be looking for the rest of her life

There she goes
There she goes
It's too late but I should have told
Should have told
That she don't need to be like them
To be loved in the end

So she went off into the cold dark night
But there was nothing find
I should have held close for one last time
So she wouldn't lose her mind

Looking for the high life
'Cause it's over now
Said that you could see it
In her eyes
Looking for the high life
Wasn't working out
But she'll be looking for the rest of her life

Looking for the high life
'Cause it's over now
Said that you could see it
In her eyes
Looking for the high life
Wasn't working out
But she'll be looking for the rest of her life
Yeah, she'll be looking for the rest of her life
Said she'll be looking for the rest of her life
Her life
