"Alive and Kicking" was a little more obscure when it came out. We had the music first, and it just sounded so glorious, so positive. At the time we were working in America. I remember we recorded some of it upstate in the Catskills and then we came down to finish it off. We were in New York, it was summer, Manhattan. We could feel the band was really on the verge of something, and I think that positivity and that idea of hope formed the lyrics. By JIM KERR OF SIMPLE MINDS AT SONGFACTS
When you read the lyrics you will see it's about two people. I agree with the first and second interpretation. The third interpretation, this can't be about God, Son or the Holy Spirit. Many people have pledged purity and unending faithfulness to another person around the globe. Not everyone are impure and unfaithful.
