Two Hearts (American Anthem)John Parr

Songwriter: John Parr

Producer: John Parr

Yeah!

You lie awake, your body aches
Livin your life under the shadow of your father
Shes flying high, you dont realize
Shes got her share of her own problems in her life

Youd better slow down, you know youre livin too fast
Youre gonna break down, they say youre never gonna last

Chorus:
Two hearts beat as one together
It may not be forever, but its for now - yeah!
Two kids, they were nothing special
But they both had the metal to say who they are

Two hearts, two hearts

The age gap, the mental lapse, livin at home can drive you crazy
But you take it
Shes workin hard to hide the scars
Nobody said it would be easy, but shes tryin

Youd better wake up, too busy livin in the past
Youd better shape up, cause this could be the chance

Two hearts beat as one together
It may not be forever, but its for now - yeah!
Two kids, they were nothing special
But they both had the metal to say who they are

Now its the showdown, theyre gonna put you to the test
You gotta break out, you gotta do your best

Two hearts beat as one together
It may not be forever, but its for now - yeah
Two kids, they were nothing special
But they both had the metal to say Here we are - yeah

Two hearts, when two worlds collide it starts - yeah
Two hearts, when two worlds collide, theres no place to hide
Two hearts

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.
