The Natural ThingJohn Parr

Songwriter: John Parr

Producer: John Parr

Unbutton your dress
Unbuckle my jeans
Tear off the clothes of convention
Step into the dream

Got a hard on me
Got a hard on you
Seems the natural thing to do

Call out my name
Whisper you love me
Put your sweet body over mine

And heavens above me

Goin' down on me
Goin' down on you
Seems like the natural thing to do

We could be dancin' tonight
Beneath the stars and the pale moonlight
Dancin' tonight, pretty darlin' hold me tight
Dancin' tonight, everything's gonna be airtight
Shaa na na, hey now

They gave 'em a flag
They gave 'em a gun
They were the curse of the new generation
They were daughters and sons

But when the bullets flew
They bled red, white and blue
Seemed like the natural thing to do

John Parr

John Parr (born 18 November 1952) is a Grammy-nominated English musician, best known for his 1985 US #1 single “St. Elmo’s Fire (Man in Motion)” and for his 1984 single “Naughty Naughty” (US Rock #1). Parr was nominated for a Grammy award for “St Elmo’s Fire” in 1985.

Parr first entered the music scene when he was 12 years old and formed a band with two fellow schoolmates, which they named The Silence. The band had achieved some success. They eventually became professional and started to tour Europe. He then joined a band named Bitter Suite who were a huge success in the working men’s clubs in Yorkshire, he then formed a “Super Band” with musicians from other working men’s club bands, and named the band Ponders End , a band that set a new precedent for the bands in the north.

Parr secured a publishing deal with Carlin America in 1983 and in the same year Meat Loaf asked him to write some songs for his new album. It led to a fateful meeting with John Wolff, who was tour manager for The Who. Foreseeing the initial demise of The Who, Wolff was looking for a new venture and considered Parr to be a suitable partner. Parr first visited America in 1984 and worked with Meat Loaf on Bad Attitude. Meanwhile, Wolff secured Parr’s solo Atlantic recording deal in New York.
