I know how to hurt
I know how to heal
I know what to show
And what to conceal
I know when to talk
And I know when to touch
No-one ever die from wanting to much
The world is not enough
But it is such a perfect place to start...my love
And if you're strong enough
Together we can take the world apart...my love
People like us
Know how to survive
There's no point in living
If you can't feel the life
We know when to kiss
And we know when to kill
If we can't have it all
Then nobody will
The world is not enough
But it is such a perfect place to start...my love
And if you're strong enough
Together we can take the world apart...my love
Hey boy, take a look at me
Let me dirty up your mind
I'll strip away your hard veneer
And see what I can find
The queerest of the queer
The strangest of the strange
The coldest of the cool
The lamest of the lame
The numbest of the dumb
I hate to see you here
You choke behind a smile
A fake behind the fear
The queerest of the queer
This is what he pays me for
I'll show you how it's done
You learn to love the pain you feel
Like father like son
The queerest of the queer
Hide inside your head
The blindest of the blind
The deadest of the dead
You're hungry cause you starve
While holding back the tears
Choking on your smile
A fake behind the fear
The queerest of the queer
I know what's good for you
You can touch me if you want
I know you're dying to
You can touch me if you want
I know what's good for you
You can touch me if you want
But you can't stop
The queerest of the queer
The strangest of the strange
The coldest of the cool
The lamest of the lame
The numbest of the dumb
I hate to see you here
You choke behind a smile
A fake behind the fear
The queerest of the queer
The strangest of the strange
The coldest of the cool
You're nothing special here
A fake behind the fear
The queerest of the queer
I know what's good for you
I know you're dying to
I know what's good for you
I bet you're dying to
You can touch me if you want
You can touch me if you want
You can touch me
You can touch me
But you can't stop
For a long time I was in love
Not only in love, I was obsessed
With a friendship that no one else could touch
It didn't work out, I'm covered in shells
And all I wanted was the simple things
A simple kind of life
And all I needed was a simple man
So I could be a wife
I'm so ashamed, I've been so mean
I don't know how it got to this point
I always was the one with all the love
You came along, I'm hunting you down
Like a sick domestic abuser looking for a fight
And all I wanted was the simple things
A simple kind of life
If we met tomorrow for the very first time
Would it start all over again?
Would I try to make you mine?
I always thought I'd be a mom
Sometimes I wish for a mistake
The longer that I wait the more selfish that I get
You seem like you'd be a good dad
Now all those simple things are simply too complicated for my life
How'd I get so faithful to my freedom?
A selfish kind of life
When all I ever wanted was the simple things
A simple kind of life
It's funny how
Even now
You still support me after all of the things that I've done
You're so good to me
Waiting patiently
And isn't it sad that you still have to ask if I care
I never said I was perfect
But I can take you away
Walk on shells tonight
Can't do right tonight
And you can't say a word
Cause I leap down your throat
So uptight am I
I never said I was perfect
But I can drive you home
I got down on myself
Working too hard
Driving myself to death
Trying to beat out the faults in my head
What a mess I've made
Sure we all make mistakes
But they see me so large
That they think I'm immune to the pain
Walk on shells tonight
Can't do wrong tonight
And you can't say the word cause I need to know ....
I'm praying for a miracle
But I won't hold my breath
I never said I was perfect
But can you take me home
You look so fine
I want to break your heart
And give you mine
You're taking me over
It's so insane
You've got me tethered and chained
I hear your name
And I'm falling over
I'm not like all the other girls
I can't take it like the other girls
I won't share it like the other girls
That you used to know
You look so fine
Knocked down
Cried out
Been down just to find out
I'm through living for you
I'm open wide
I want to take you home
We're wasting time
You're the only one for me
You look so fine
I'm like the desert tonight
Leave her behind
If you want to show me
I'm not like all the other girls
I won't take it like the other girls
I won't fake it like the other girls
That you used to know
You're taking me over
Over and over
I'm falling over
Over and over
Loving me one more time
Hide inside me tonight
Do what you want to do
Just pretend happy end
Let me know let it show)
Ending with letting go X3
Let's pretend happy end X4
Nervous
Dannii Minogue, Ian Masterson & Terry Ronald
Nervous
Nervous
I’m on
A wire
My pulse running high
Don’t know
I’ll fall
Or maybe I’ll fly
It’s done
It’s right
To try and be alone
It’s dangerous
Where do I go?
You’re making me feel
So nervous
I’m so
Nervous baby
Can’t you feel it?
With my eyes blindfolded
I must follow you
I’m so nervous baby
You control me
It’s getting hard to hide it
You know I like it
I breathe
Your kiss
The words on your lips
I live
To taste
Addiction like this
I’m scared
Again
I know I’ll give in
It’s dangerous
Where do I go?
You’re making me feel
So nervous
I’m so
Nervous baby
Can’t you feel it?
With my eyes blindfolded
I must follow you
I’m so nervous baby
You control me
It’s getting hard to hide it
You know I like it
Shaken
Every time I taste it
Closer I inhale it
Always, need it
Anticipation
Wondering what comes next
Now I know I’m taken
You always make me nervous
Nervous
Dwelling on corruption
Focussed on disruption
Can’t help but shiver
Swallow
I pretend to be strong
First time I discover
I am, nervous
Nervous
Nervous
I’m so
Nervous baby
Can’t you feel it?
With my eyes blindfolded
I must follow you
I’m so nervous baby
You control me
It’s getting hard to hide it
You know I like it
I’m so
Nervous baby
Can’t you feel it?
With my eyes blindfolded
I must follow you
I’m so nervous baby
You control me
It’s getting hard to hide it
You know I like it
Hide and Seek
Dannii Minogue, Ian Masterson & Terry Ronald
Feeling the ride
Don’t wanna run away
Baby don’t hide
Seek and you’ll find
When I close my eyes
I'm counting the moments
So come with me now
Let’s go outside
Falling down like rain
Falling down like rain
Hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek, hide
A twist in my mind
Whenever you call my name
Come for me now
I don’t wanna hide
The taste of your love
Is sweeter than ever
Now come and taste mine
Seek and you’ll find
Falling down like rain
Falling down like rain
Hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek, hide
Feeling the ride
A twist in my mind
The taste of your love
Come and taste mine
Seek and you’ll find
Falling down like rain
Falling down like rain
Falling down like rain
Hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek, hide
Hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek, hide
Hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek, hide
Personal Life
Dannii has enjoyed a string of high-profile relationships. Apart from tabloid whispers of a liason with Justin Timberlake at this year's Brit Awards, Dannii was briefly married to Home & Away co-star Julian McDonald (also the son of a former Australian Prime Minister), was engaged to Formula 1 star Jacques Villeneuve and recently seperated from music producer and Bros bassist Craig Logan
Apparantly Dannii is somewhat obsessed by DIY and, by extension, DIY television shows. Living in the UK now, she is well catered for in this department and is said to be addicted to shows such as 'Changing Rooms' and 'House Doctor'.
Did You Know?
Dannii's single 'Who Do You Love Now' has actually sold more copies worldwide than Kylie's much-celebrated 'Can't Get You Out of My Head'.
Dannii's long list of acting credits include 'Skyways', 'The Sullivans', 'Home & Away', 'Notre Dame De Paris', 'The Vagina Monologues', 'Grease' and a stint as Lady MacBeth in an Edinbrugh Fringe production produced by Theatrum Motanicum.
Dannii has written a song about her vibrator, called 'Vibe On', and featuring on her new album 'Neon Nights'. She describes herself as a 'vibraholic' and admits that she is frightened about how it makes her smile all the time.
Dannii doesn't like Jonathan Ross.
Cool Credentials
Dannii is a regular performer at the Mardi Gras in Sydney and at G.A.Y. in London, reflecting her status as a gay icon.
Dannii played the colourfest festival last year, where she joined Dirty Vegas and 808 State playing live on the main stage, breaking free of her pop pigeonhole.
001 // Put The Needle On It
This song was really the first single to be released from the album and it will always be very special to me. It was recorded in Sweden and is a bit dark, very dirty and very sexy. I loved the video for this song and I’d love to have one of those giant records in my lounge!
002 // Creep
This was written by Korpi and Blackcell who I also co-wrote Put The Needle On It with. A lot of people have had a good reaction to this one and I really love this song too. It sounds very American to me but I guess it’s more in line with the Put The Needle On It sound. I didn’t write this track and it’s definitely different when I listen to a song I haven’t written, as you have a totally different perspective on them.
003 // I Begin To Wonder
This was produced by JCA who is a very famous dance producer in Germany. I cried when this track reached number 2 in the UK charts – its my highest ever position! Each time I make a video I try to improve and get better and I love this video so much. Kylie’s favourite was Put The Needle On It but she tells me she has been dancing around her lounge to this one a lot!
004 // Hey! (So What)
This is one of the few tracks on the album that I didn’t co-write, but I love it so much because its got a really funky bass line. I’m really into old funk at the moment. I imagine myself dancing to this one on the dance floor – it really puts you in a great mood.
005 // For The Record
This track was also done in Sweden with the same producers as Put The Needle On It. We actually wrote both songs in the same day. For The Record was written really fast. I’m very much into 80’s music and I wanted the producers to give me some CeCe Peniston / Chicago piano chords. We sat down and quickly wrote it with the piano – it was a lot of fun.
006 // Mighty Fine
With this track I wanted to put something unusual on the album. It’s a really really fun song to sing and uses a lot of the register of vocals I was using when I did the show Notre Dame De Paris in London. In fact Terry Ronald (Friend/writer/vocal arranger) said to me Esmeralda’s back when I was singing this in the studio!
007 // On The Loop
I have great memories recording this one. I wrote it with Terry Ronald and some producers called Neďmo in Paris. Neďmo are actually a band who are about to release their own album which is influenced by punky guitar bass (I love it!). This track actually reminds me of a band called Violent Femmes that used to be out ages and ages ago. Neďmo have never produced for anyone else before so this is their first other project. I think my stuff will actually hit the shelves before theirs! They are all young and have amazing old skool equipment which gives them such a distinctive and electro feel – look out for them.
008 // Push
This is written by two mates of mine Terry and Ian who I have worked with on previous albums. We had so much fun getting together in London and writing a bunch of tracks. They also have got some songs on the b-side of I Begin To Wonder (Hide and Seek & Nervous). This song’s a pretty sexy one!
009 // Mystified
Nicknamed as Mystifried with my dancers – we have different names for all the songs! Whenever we are learning a new routine together they always change the lyrics to all the songs! This one again was done with Terry and Ian. This is very funky and my friends who listen to this one tell me it’s very reminiscent of old Prince stuff, which is good because I’m really into that.
010 // Don’t Wanna Lose This Feeling
Done in Paris with Neďmo we re-wrote the chorus to this one 3 times before we came up with this one! I’ve just finished choreographing a routine to this which I absolutely love. In the verses we do Tai Chi and in the bridges we do Double Dutch! The girls in America used to do this back in the 80’s with two skipping ropes and you have to jump very fast with your feet. Let me tell you, it’s the hardest workout ever – my calves are killing me!
011 // Vibe On
I have to be very careful about this one…. It’s about vibrations. I can’t really expand any further than just listen to the lyrics!
012 // A Piece Of Time
Also produced by Neďmo, you can really tell their stuff straight away with the great tricks they do with the vocals and instruments. It’s very big on the bass and the guitar. This track is a pet favourite of mine.
013 // Who Do You Love Now?
I have wicked memories surrounding this song. When I did the guest vocals for Riva a lot of record companies wanted to sign me and do an album so this launched me into making Neon Nights. I also went to Ibiza for the first time to promote this record and when I performed it in the clubs everyone’s hands would go in the air. It was such an amazing and energetic feeling. Hopefully I will make it back there this year.
014 // It Won’t Work Out
This is the only ballad on the album. Its amazingly heart-wrenching lyrics which I wrote with my friends Terry and Ian. I even find it hard to listen to this song sometimes as the lyrics are so strong and meaningful – it’s really beautiful. It’s about breaking up with somebody but you’re the one telling the person that you want to break up. It’s a hard position to be in.
015 // Come And Get It (Sebastian Krieg Remix)
This is a special bonus track for all you guys. It was co-written with a girl called Hannah and JCA who I did I Begin To Wonder with. We wrote this in London and wanted time to write loads of songs together but we just didn’t have the time. Its very sexy and I have loads of mixes to this one at home. This version is my favourite remix. The track might be released by JCA in Germany in the future with me as guest vocalist.
