THE WILD LIFE
Released in America, Canada, Australia and Japan, THE WILD LIFE was written in two days to appear on the soundtrack for the film of the same name. It did not originally appear as a track on BANANARAMA until the re-issues, but seeing as it's such a good song I put it here.

LYRICS

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

This is the wild life (wild life), it's the wild life (wild life)
Wild life (wild life), this is the wild life (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 in 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

This is the wild life (wild life), it's the wild life (wild life)
Wild life (wild life), this is the wild life (wild life)
This is the wild life (wild life), it's the wild life (wild life)
Wild life (wild life), this is the wild life (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 in the wild life

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

This is the wild life (wild life), it's the wild life (wild life)
Wild life (wild life), this is the wild life (wild life)
This is the wild life (wild life), it's the wild life (wild life)
Wild life (wild life), this is the wild life (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

This is the wild life (wild life), it's the wild life (wild life)
Wild life (wild life), this is the wild life (wild life)
This is the wild life (wild life), it's the wild life (wild life)
Wild life (wild life), this is the wild life (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 VIDEO

Intercut with segments of the film, the video features the 'Nanas standing, singing and messing around with a lot of coloured fabric. Although shot on a very obvious low budget, they do look like they're having fun.

WATCH OUT! For Siobhan's pants. Naughty Siobhan! ;)
