The Wild Life

About The Wild Life

"The Wild Life" is a song written and performed by English girl group Bananarama. Written in two days, the track was composed for and included in the 1984 American film of the same name The Wild Life (starring Christopher Penn), and on its soundtrack. Bananarama's second, self-titled album had already been in stores for several months when this single was issued, and for a time the album was re-released with "The Wild Life" included. The song was released as a single in the U. S., Canada, Australia, and Japan. The UK was instead given the song "Hot Line to Heaven" as the album's final single. "The Wild Life" peaked at number 70 on the U. S. Billboard Hot 100 and did not chart in any other countries. The Bananarama track listing was reverted to its original sequence shortly thereafter and "The Wild Life" did not appear on CD until the 2002 hits package The Essentials. more »

What your mother don't know, she won't mind
Her good advice was a waste of time
You wanna live fast, cutting it fine
Make hay while the sun shines

No one there to say, you're wrong or right
You've waited a lifetime
Burning all your bridges tonight

[Chorus]
This is the wild life
It's the wild life
Wild life
This is the wild life

No stone left unturned
Jump in the fire you're gonna get burned
You might lose your way
When you come out to play the wild life

I may be too young but I've seen and done
Everything that they say is fun
I gotta find out for myself
In the end there's no one else

Every time I try to win I lose
I'm tired of waiting
Now I'm gonna make my own rules

[Chorus]

No stone left unturned
Jump in the fire you're gonna get burned
You might lose your way
When you come out to play the wild life

No one there to say you're wrong or right
You've waited a lifetime
Burning all your bridges tonight

[Chorus]

No stone left unturned
Jump in the fire you're gonna get burned
You might lose your way
When you come out to play the wild life

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 »
