Hot Line to Heaven

About Hot Line to Heaven

"Hot Line to Heaven" is a song co-written and performed by English girl group Bananarama. The song appears on their second, self-titled album and was released as a single in the UK in 1984. In its album version, "Hot Line to Heaven" is a seven-plus-minutes mid-tempo pop song. It was edited to about three-and-a-half minutes for its single release. After Bananarama recorded the soundtrack song "The Wild Life" (from the film of the same name), the edited version of "Hot Line to Heaven" was pressed onto the Bananarama album in order to make room for the late-addition of "The Wild Life". This was only a temporary pressing, however, as Bananarama's track listing was restored several months later, with the full version of "Hot Line to Heaven" intact. The single did not perform well on the charts and got very limited release outside of UK. As was the case with the Bananarama album, the dark lyrical content did not meet with mainstream acceptance and became the group's lowest charting UK single since their debut "Aie a Mwana", however it was the fourth release from the album. more »

With your smile you're making plans
You've got the world right in the palm of your hands.
Everything you touch is gold but your future life is bought and sold.
It seems to me that you've got it made
But you never show that you're afraid.
Now the voices in your head they make you scream
And drive you mad.

You're on a hot line to heaven
Now you're all alone
Riding on a hot line
Riding on a hot line to heaven

Standing all on your own.
Staring eyes as cold as stone
I want to be at the sands alone.
Reaching out to cry for help

Once a man but now you're just a shell.
You can make a deal
You make the break
But you're heading for an early grave.
You've got to find it
Got to try

Something special to get you high.
You're on a hot line to heaven
Now you're all alone
You're on a hot line to heaven
Now you're all alone

It seems to me that you've got it made
But you're heading for an early break.
But now some voices in your head
They make you scream and drive you mad.

You're on a hot line to heaven
Now you're all alone
You're on a hot line to heaven
Now you're all alone
You're on a hot line to heaven
Now you're all alone

Bananarama

Bananarama are an English female pop band who have had success on the pop and dance charts since 1982. Rather than relying on harmony, the band generally sings in unison, as do their background vocalists. Although there have been line-up changes, the group enjoyed most success as a trio made up of lifelong friends Siobhan Fahey, Keren Woodward and Sara Dallin. In The 1980s, Bananarama were listed in the Guinness World Records as the all female group with the most chart entries in the world, a record which they still hold. Since 1992, Woodward and Dallin have continued Bananarama as a Duo. more »
