Heart

Fast times
Fast times
Bell, bell ringing me out of my sleep
Make the world on time
Make a little money, little money to keep

When you see the light turn green
You better be the first off the line
You gotta move and move right now
Or you gonna get left behind

Fast times, fast times
Fast times, fast times

Same old school bee
I don't care too much about making those grades
Every day, every single day
I only come here just to see my babe
Night shift
Cash it out

Time clock punching me out of the door
Fire it up come on rev it, rev it up
Shoot my care into the freeway war

Fast times, fast times
Fast times, fast times

At the end of one day's race
I just got to see my darling's face
Before the day starts in again
Before the morning rings and rings
My baby's waiting anxiously
Pouring kisses over me
Always makes my nights so warm
In the loving power of his arms

Heart, lead by Ann and Nancy Wilson, is considered a — or the — Grand Dame of hard rock and heavy metal.

Not only do they have more hit singles and AOR tracks than most other bands (songs we’d go over in detail but they’re listed on this very page in order of popularity) but in some ways deeper respect than many, both for their own groundbreaking talent and appeal and some unusual recognition thereof, including having been picked to perform Stairway to Heaven for Led Zeppelin themselves at the Kennedy Center Honors in 2012, making Robert Plant and company actually cry. Not Rush, not Aerosmith, nor any of the other bands beloved rock/metal that — along with Ann and Nancy’s band — followed Zeppelin by one generation. Just Heart.

Starting in the mid seventies, Heart forged a unique and powerful sound outstanding in their field, and was unusual in topping the charts well into their own second decade in the late eighties, becoming a staple of MTV’s rotation, albeit sometimes crammed by the industry into music videos that the bandmates despised and comment on to this day.
