Read My Lips

About Read My Lips

"Read My Lips" is a song written and performed by Scottish singer-songwriter Jimmy Somerville (formerly of the bands Bronski Beat and The Communards) from his 1989 album Read My Lips. The song discusses the need for increased funding to fight HIV/AIDS. Released in 1990 as Somerville's third solo single from the album Read My Lips, the song didn't chart as well as the previous single, "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)", a cover of the Sylvester original, which hit number 5 earlier the same year. However, it did chart inside the Top 40, peaking at number 26 on the UK Singles Chart. more »

Here we're and standing our ground
And we won't be moved by what they say

So we'll shout (shout!)
As loud as we can
And we'll shout (shout!)
'till they hear our demands
Money is what we need, not complacency

Read my lips and they will tell you
Enough is enough is enough is enough
Finding cures is not the only solution
And it's not a case of sinner absolution

So we'll fight (fight!)
For love and with pride
And we'll fight (fight!)
Standing together for the
Right to live and die with dignity

Read my lips and they will tell you
Enough is enough is enough is enough
The power within
We can use it to win
So we'll shout (shout!)
As loud as we can
And we'll fight (fight!)
'Till they meet our demands
Money is what we need, not complacency

Read my lips and they will tell you
Enough is enough is enough is enough
