Bananarama
- Bananarama are an English girl group who have had success on the pop and dance charts since 1982.

Cruel Summer
Album:
Bananarama
(1983)
Song Details:
"Cruel Summer" is a pop song originally written and performed by Bananarama that was a top ten hit in Britain in 1983. SingerSara Dallin said the song "played on the darker side (of summer songs): it looked at the oppressive heat, the misery of wanting to be with someone as the summer ticked by. We've all been there!"
Lyrics:
Hot summer streets
And the pavements are burning
I sit around
Trying to smile but
The air is so heavy and dry
Strange voices are saying
Things I can't understand
It's too close for comfort
This heat has got
Right out of hand
(Chorus)
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Leaving me here on my own
It's a cruel, cruel summer
Now you're gone
The city is crowded
My friends are away
And I'm on my own
It's too hot to handle
So I got to get up and go
(Chorus)

Lyrics:
Goddess on the mountain top
Burning like a silver flame
The summit of beauty and love
And Venus was her name
CHORUS:
She's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire
Her weapons were her crystal eyes
Making every man a man
Black as the dark night she was
Got what no-one else had
Wa!
CHORUS
(Venus)
CHORUS
Goddess on the mountain top
Burning like a silver flame
The summit of beauty and love
And Venus was her name
Wow!
CHORUS
(Venus was her name)
Yeah baby she's got it
Yeah baby she's got it
