| Comments: |
We started writing "Hearts On Fire" in 1984, towards the
end the "Reckless" sessions,
but writing wasn't completed and the song wasn't recorded and released until two years later for Bryan's Into
The Fire album. In fact, to my ear, the song seems out of context on "Into The Fire", being more a companion piece to "It's Only Love" than "Native Son". |

| In the mid-90s a Vancouver radio station recorded a "twisted" spoof of the song, re-titled "This Cab's On Fire" (see audio, below). The re-worked lyric refers to the fact that many of Vancouver's taxi cabs are mechanically unsound and driven by recent immigrants with minimal knowledge of the English language, and even less knowledge of Vancouver's streets and addresses. | |||||||||||||

| Lyrics: | Some other time Some other place We might not have bin here Standin' face to face I just wanna tell ya Made up my mind You know I can't help the way I feel inside Oh this heart's on fire Right from the start it's bin burnin' for you Oh this heart's on fire One thing honey - this heart's true The streets are empty The lights are down Ain't nothin' movin' This side of town So come on over I ain't hard to please Oh baby - what you get ain't always what you need Oh this heart's on fire It's getting hotter now can't you see Oh this heart's on fire From now on babe it's gonna be you and me Risin' to my feet I can feel the heat It's tryin' to pull me under Runnin' through the night I can make it right Its comin' on like thunder Some got it good some got it bad But you're the best I ever had I never worry you're so fine From now on babe I'm gonna be by your side Oh this heart's on fire Right from the start it's bin burnin' for you Oh this heart's on fire One thing honey - this heart's true | ||||||||||||
