searching for 80's dance/pop song by male singer with "hearts on fire" in the chorus
 
The song I'm looking for has "hearts on fire" in the chorus, but it's not John Cafferty or Bryan Adams or Randy Meisner or Robin Gibb, etc. I simply cannot find anything on the net. It's a fast paced dance/pop song with the for the 80s typical electronic sound. The male singer has a fairly high pitched voice, and he takes the chorus really high towards the end.

I only have a very bad tape recording left of this song - very bad because I ruined the tape by listening to it so much way back when. So unfortunately I cannot post a video/audio reference. Additionally, I'm from Germany, so my English is not perfect and it is often very hard for me to make out lyrics, especially from a poor quality audio. That said, here are some bits and pieces from the lyrics that stood out to me:

but desire will haunt you
you keep yearning (or earning?) in the night
shadow in the fire

you could be a saint or a psychopath

no one's gonna lead you by the hand
you can take the hero's stand
or you can go higher
hearts on fire

will put my name on what is mine
all in my own time



Thanks for any help!

searching for 80's dance/pop song, male singer, "tonight's the night" in the chorus
 
The song I'm looking for has "tonight's the night" in the chorus, but it's not Neil Young or Rod Stewart, etc. It's a dance/pop song with some wolf howling in the background at some points.

I only have a very bad tape recording left of this song - very bad because I ruined the tape by listening to it so much way back when. So unfortunately I cannot post a video/audio reference. Additionally, I'm from Germany, so my English is not perfect and it is often very hard for me to make out lyrics, especially from a poor quality audio. That said, here are the lyrics as I heard them with [...] denoting parts I could not make heads or tails of:


tonight's the night i lose control
tonight's the night i satisfy my soul
tonight's the night when the moon comes out again

when the sun goes down
the strangest things happen to me
i got to be where the action is
i got to set my soul free

my feet start moving when i hear the beat
my fingers start snapping when i feel the heat
nobody's gonna stop me once i [...]
'cause i'm wild and crazy 'til the sun comes up

tonight's the night i lose control
tonight's the night i satisfy my soul
tonight's the night when the moon comes out again
tonight

i'm the first one on the scene
and always the last to go
i put the life in any party
as the moon begins to glow

my heart starts pounding as the music [...] (gets loud?)
before i know it i'm [...] in the crowd
my clothes get soaking wet from the body sweat
my hair is standing straight and my eyes [...] (dilate?)

tonight's the night i lose control
tonight's the night i satisfy my soul
tonight's the night when the moon comes out again



Thanks for any help!

searching for 80's dance/pop song, female singer, "house they call desire" in the cho
 
The song I'm looking for is a bit slower paced dance/pop song that nevertheless has a nice dance beat to it. It's got something that almost sounds like cymbals in the instrument lineup. Overall pretty typical 80s pop song sound.

I only have a very bad tape recording left of this song - very bad because I ruined the tape by listening to it so much way back when. So unfortunately I cannot post a video/audio reference. Additionally, I'm from Germany, so my English is not perfect and it is often very hard for me to make out lyrics, especially from a poor quality audio. That said, here are the lyrics as I heard them:


you'll be my lover
i don't care if it's right or wrong now
you'll be my lover
eyes that hypnotize
well i don't care i don't care i don't care
you'll be my lover

take a step in the right direction
give me love give me your affection
you can take me but don't you leave me

when the heat is on
and you don't know where to find me
on the edge of time
i'll be waiting for you
it's your destiny
throw yourself into the fire
we'll be living in a house they call desire

come on now baby
just who do you think you're fooling
come on now baby
pull back your cover
don't hide cause you're only losing
you'll be my lover

don't pretend it's a sin, don't save it
never lie to me, don't you fake it
no secrets, you need me, baby

take a step in the right direction
give me love give me your affection
you can take me but don't you leave me

i can set you free
show you things that you ain't seen
shout my name out loud
you will follow, i will lead
it's your destiny
throw yourself into the fire
we'll be living in a house they call desire

don't look back



Thanks for any help!
