The Warrior by Patti Smyth and Scandal

Normally I would write about music on Mondays (as it’s Music Monday), but I’ve also learned that sometimes you just need to crank out a post to remember things that you love, and the one I am loving right now (and thanks Parveen Kaler for reminding me of this song) is this tune by Patti Smyth and Scandal, The Warrior. For some reason, I always confused Pat Benatar (who sang Invincible, similar kind of tune and beat) with Patti Smyth. And I love both tunes (Invincible by Pat Benatar and The Warrior by Patti Smyth and Scandal). For your listening pleasure. And if you are an 80’s music fan, you probably do remember it.

You run, run, runaway
It’s your heart that you betray
Feeding on your hungry eyes
I bet you’re not so civilized

Well isn’t love primitive?
A wild gift that you wanna give
Break out of captivity
And follow me stereo jungle child
Love is the kill
Your heart’s still wild

Shooting at the walls of heartache
Bang, bang!
I am the warrior
Well I am the warrior
And heart to heart you’ll win
If you survive the warrior, the warrior

You talk, talk, talk to me
Your eyes touch me physically
Stay with me we’ll take the night
As passion takes another bite, oh
Who’s the hunter, who’s the game?
I feel the beat call your name
I hold you close in victory
I don’t wanna tame your animal style
You won’t be caged in the call of the wild

Shooting at the walls of heartache
Bang, bang!
I am the warrior
Well I am the warrior
And heart to heart you’ll win
If you survive the warrior, the warrior
I am the warrior

Shooting at the walls of heartache
Bang, bang!
I am the warrior
And heart to heart you’ll win
If you survive the warrior, the warrior
