LYRICS 
I run a comb through my hair and step out in the street
And the city's the color of flame in the midsummer heat, oh yeah
Jennifer's got her daddy's car, she's playing "Uptown" on the stereo
We go cruisin' so close, the way they did long ago
My darlin'
Turn the radio up for that sweet sound
Hold me close, never let me go
Keep this feelin' alive
Make me lose control
Baby, baby
When I look in your eyes, I go crazy
Fever's high with the lights down low
Take me over the edge
Make me lose control
We put the top down and park with the moon in the sky
And the wind is so hot in our hair, like a fire in July, oh yeah
Jennifer's singin', "Stand by Me"
And she knows every single word by heart
Was love always this good, or could this be just the start?
Oh darlin'
Turn the radio up for that sweet sound
Hold me close, never let me go
Keep this feelin' alive
Make me lose control
Baby, baby
When I look in your eyes, I go crazy
Fever's high with the lights down low
Take me over the edge
Make me lose control
"Be My Baby" comes on and we're movin' in time
And the heat from your touch
Makes me feel like I'm losing my mind, oh yeah
(And then they played) Back in my arms again
(We close our eyes) We start rememberin' when
(We start to kiss) And all the feelings return
And we just pray that this night never ends
Oh, my darlin'
Turn the radio up for that sweet sound
Hold me close, never let me go
Keep this feelin' alive make me lose control
Baby
When I look in your eyes, I go crazy
Fever's high with the lights down low
Take me over the edge
Make me lose control
Baby, baby
Turn the radio up for that sweet sound
Hold me close, never let me go
(Keep) Keep this feelin' alive make me lose control
When I look in your eyes, I go crazy
Fever's high with the lights down low
(So take) Take me over the edge make me lose control
Baby, baby
Turn the radio up for that sweet sound
Hold me close, never let me go
Keep this feelin' alive
Make me lose control

BELFAST CHILD by Simple minds

 BELFAST CHILD by Simple minds This song was inspired by the 1987 Enniskillen bombing, when a bomb planted by the IRA exploded during a Remembrance Day service at Enniskillen in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, killing 11 people and injuring at least 63. Simple Minds lead singer Jim Kerr explained to Q magazine in 1989: "In the second part of 'Belfast Child' I'm trying to relate to people in Northern Ireland who've also lost loved ones. I'm trying to talk about the madness and sadness and emptiness. I'm not saying I have any pearls of wisdom, but I have a few questions to ask. When I'm asked on American TV who my heroes are, rather than saying Lou Reed or Bob Dylan or someone who goes without saying, I say there are these people called Amnesty International and what they are doing I think is rather heroic. It only takes about 30 seconds."  The music is based on a traditional song alled "She Moved Through The Fair," which Jim Kerr hea...

Feels Like I'm in Love Song by Kelly Marie Ray Dorset, who was the lead vocalist for Mungo Jerry, wrote this for Elvis Presley, who was one of his idols. Unfortunately, Elvis' untimely death ruled this out and the song ended up as the B-side of a Mungo Jerry single released in France. In the book 1000 UK #1 Hits by Jon Kutner and Spencer Leigh, Dorset explains: "I wrote Feels Like I'm In Love in 1977 with Elvis Presley in mind and even recorded it Elvis-style on my demo. My producer, Barry Murray, was about to send it to Elvis when he got a phone call saying Elvis had died. After that, I kinda put it to bed for a while. Kelly Marie had a few minor hits in France and had been hanging around our office a bit. I thought she had a good voice, so I asked her if she wanted to record the song." This was originally released 18 months earlier but it failed to chart. It then became a northern club hit before finally topping the UK charts. Kelly Marie was born Jacqueline McK...
