Kim about ‘To France’

In 1984, Mike Oldfield released ‘To France’ with Maggie Reilly. She’s such a great vocalist, but I was already a huge fan of Mike Oldfield because we used to play his records at home, particularly ‘Tubular bells’ of course, everyone loves that album as they should, and ‘Ommadawn’ and I remember my dad bringing this album home, putting it on the record player and just all of us absolutely loving it, except my mum who hated the bagpipes. But I was always a huge fan of Mike Oldfield and this song has the most incredible melody. I think when people ask me ‘how did you choose the songs for the album’ I think one of the answers would have to be that I focus very much on how strong the melody was, try to separate that from a great record. A great record is very different to a great song. And that was an interesting thing that I discovered when I was choosing songs for ‘Snapshots’. (1)

Lyrics

Taking on water,
Sailing a restless sea
From a memory,
A fantasy.
The wind carries
Into white water,
Far from the islands.

Don’t you know you’re never going to get to France.
Mary, Queen of Chance, will they find you?
Never going to get to France.
Could a new romance ever bind you?

Walking on foreign ground,
Like a shadow,
Roaming in far off
Territory.
Over your shoulder,
Stories unfold, you’re
Searching for sanctuary.

You know you’re never going to get to France.
Mary, Queen of Chance, will they find you?
Never going to get to France.
Could a new romance ever bind you?

I see a picture
By the lamp’s flicker.
Isn’t it strange how
Dreams fade and shimmer?

Never going to get to France.
Mary, Queen of Chance, will they find you?
Never going to get to France.
Could a new romance ever bind you?

Three Little Pigs

Song written by Mark Levinthal and Bill Manspeaker. It was a hit for Green Jelly in the summer of 1993. They performed this song in September 1993 during a Dutch television show with a puppet show of a big bad wolf and three little pigs. Kim Wilde was handling one of the little pig puppets after having performed her own songs You Keep Me Hangin’ On and If I Can’t Have You. She was obviously enjoying herself while helping out the group.


Lyrics

Why don’t you sit right back
and I, I may tell you a tale
a tale of three little pigs
and a BIG BAD wolf

Well the first little piggy
well he was kind of hip he
spent most of his day just
dreaming on the city

and then one day he bought a guitar
he moved to hollywood
to become a star
living on the farm
he knew nothing of the city
built his house on straw – what a pity
then one day
jamming on some cords
along came the wolf
knocking on his door

Little pig, little pig, let me in
“not by the hair of my chinny chin chin”
Little pig, little pig, let me in
“not by the hair of my chinny chin chin”
well i’m huffing, i’m puffing
I’ll blow your house in
Huffing, Puffing,
blow your house in
Huffing, Puffing,
blow your house in
Huffing and I’m puffing, and I’ll blow your house in

well the second little piggy
well, he was kind of stocky
spent most of his day
just a gun just smoking

huffing and a phuffing down the venize beach
getting paid money for religious speech
built his shelter from many garbage picks
mostly made up of cans and sticks
then one day he was cracking off a Marley
along came the wolf on his big bad Harley

Little pig, Little pig, let me in
not by the hair of my chinny chin chin x2
well i’m huffing, i’m puffing
I’ll blow your house in
Huffing, puffing,
blow your house in
Huffing, puffing
blow your house in
Huffing and I’m puffing, and I’ll blow your house in

well the third little piggy
the great A student
his daddy was a rock-star
named Pig Nugent
earned his masters degree
from Harvard college
built his house from his architect knowledge
a tri-level mansion Hollywood Hills
daddy rockstart ’em
pay for the bills
then one day came the old house matcher
the big bad wolf, the little piggies slasher

Little pig, little pig, let me in
not by the hair of my chinny chin chin x2
well i’m huffing, i’m puffing
I’ll blow your house in
Huffing, puffing,
blow your house in
Huffing, puffing,
blow your house in
Huffing and I’m puffing, and I’ll blow your house in

well the big bad wolf
well he huffed
and he puffed all that he could
and hold, behold the little piggy house stood
it’s made out of concrete
the little piggy shouted
the wolf just frowned as he pouted
so they called nine eleven
like any piggy would
they sent out rambo
just as fast as they could

(Rambo:) Yo! Wolf-face, i’m your worst nightmare
Your ass is mine

well the wolf fell dead as you
can plainly see
and thats the end of the story for you and me
it still gives a lesson, you just may
hear the big wolf the little piggies say:

Little pig, Little pig, let me in
not by the hair of my chinny chin chin x2
well i’m huffing, i’m puffing
I’ll blow your house in
Huffing, puffing, blow your house in
Huffing, puffing, blow your house in
Huffing, puffing, blow your house in
Huffing and I’m puffing, and I’ll blow your house in

They Don’t Know

Song written by Kirsty MacColl.

Kirsty MacColl version

Kirsty MacColl recorded the track herself in 1979. It was a popular song on the radio at the time of release, but because of a strike at her distributors the single wasn’t shipped and promoted properly in shops, causing it to miss the UK singles chart entirely. The single was not taken from any album and only got an album release in 1995 when the compilation ‘Galore’ was released.

Tracey Ullman version

The song was covered by Amy Rigby, Bucky, Cartoon Characters, Dawn Eden & Anderson Council, Departure Lounge, Gas Giants, Gigolo Aunts, Janine Olsen, Kenny Howes and the Yeah!, Leslie Carter, Pale, Young Fresh Fellows and most successfully Tracey Ullman, who had a hit with it in 1983. On this version, Kirsty MacColl herself sang the high ‘baby’ at the start of the last verse of the song.

Kim Wilde version

Kim Wilde recorded a cover version of ‘They Don’t Know’ during the sessions for Come Out and Play in 2009. The track was not used for this album. In 2011 the song was recorded again for Kim’s album Snapshots.

Versions

There are two versions of ‘They Don’t Know’: the album version and the ‘mixed but not mastered’ version from the promotional CD of ‘Snapshots’.

Live performances

Kim performed the song live at the Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London on 10 October 2010 during a charity concert in honour of Kirsty MacColl’s 51st birthday. She also performed the song live during the Snapshots & Greatest Hits Tour in 2012.

Kim about ‘They don’t know’

(…) It was released just before my career kicked off and Kirsty is the same age as me – would be about the same as me. I remember thinking ‘Wow! She’s so young, she’s 20 years old, she’s writing these great songs, she’s on the radio, she’s so positive, so gutsy, so I wanted really to be like Kirsty MacColl. She was a great inspiration to really get in there and have my voice heard too. I subsequently got to know her, and in fact for a while we were both dating guys in the same band, Tenpole Tudor, which was great fun! No, not Eddie, you don’t date someone like Eddie. She came to the very first rehearsals that I did in North London for my very first tour. I’ve got lovely photographs that I’ve taken of her at that time. (1)

‘They don’t know’ is a song written by Kirsty MacColl and Kirsty and I were contemporaries back in the early Eighties, but before that I was a fan of hers, because I heard the song on the radio when I was still living at home. I remember being in my bedroom and listening to it and wondering who recorded it, and finding out it was someone of my own age, but not only she’d recorded it, but she’d written it. I was very impressed by Kirsty and I met her later and we became good friends. I’ve always fancied singing this song and it’s really as a tribute to her, of course, a tribute to the late Kirsty MacColl. (2)

Lyrics

You’ve been around for such a long time now
Oh maybe I could leave you but I don’t know how
And why should I be lonely every night
When I can be with you
Oh yes you make it right
And I don’t listen to the guys who say
That you’re bad for me and I should turn you away
‘Cos they don’t know about us
And they’ve never heard of love

I get a feeling when I look at you
Wherever you go now I wanna be there too
They say we’re crazy but I just don’t care
And if they keep on talking still they get nowhere
So I don’t mind if they don’t understand
When I look at you and you hold my hand
‘Cos they don’t know about us
And they’ve never heard of love

Why should it matter to us if they don’t approve
We should just take our chances while we’ve got nothing to lose

Baby
There’s no need for living in the past
Now I’ve found good loving gonna make it last
I tell the others don’t bother me
‘Cos when they look at you they don’t see what I see
No I don’t listen to their wasted lines
Got my eyes wide open and I see the signs
But  they don’t know about us
And they’ve never heard of love

No I don’t listen to their wasted lines
Got my eyes wide open and I see the signs
But  they don’t know about us
And they’ve never heard of love

They Can’t Take That Away From Me

This song was originally composed by Gerschwin and featured in two Fred Astaire films, ‘The Barkley’s of Broadway’ and ‘Shall We Dance?’. Kim performed the track for the BBC TV program ‘Showstoppers’ in 1995. She was backed by a 70 piece orchestra at the BBC TV Centre on November 4. The performance was televised on 19 November 1995.


Lyrics

Our romance won’t end on a sorrowful note,
Though by tomorrow you’re gone;
The song is ended, but as the songwriter wrote,
The melody lingers on.
They may take you from me, I’ll miss your fond caress.
But though they take you from me, I’ll still possess.

The way you wear your hat
The way you sip your tea
The memory of all that
No, no, they can’t take that away from me

The way your smile just beams
The way you sing off key
The way you haunt my dreams
No, no, they can’t take that away from me

We may never, never meet again
On the bumpy road to love
Still, I’ll always, always keep the memory of

The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you changed my life
No, no, they can’t take that away from me
No, they can’t take that away from me

We may never, never meet again
On the bumpy road to love
Still, I’ll always, always keep the memory of

The way you hold your knife
The way we danced till three
The way you changed my life
No, no, they can’t take that away from me
No, they can’t take that away
Can’t take that away
Can’t take that away from me

There’s a Ghost in My House

Song written by Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier, Eddie Holland and R. Dean Taylor.

R. Dean Taylor version

R. Dean Taylor recorded this song in 1966. Produced by Brian Holland and Lamont Dozier, it was released as a single in April 1967, but it was not a hit. After it became a popular song in Northern soul clubs in the UK, the single was reissued and reached number 3 in the UK singles chart in 1974.

Kim Wilde version

On 15 October 2011, Kim Wilde performed this track live as part of the concert ‘B.E.F. presents Music of Quality & Distinction’ at the Roundhouse in London, together with Martyn Ware and Glenn Gregory. The track previously appeared on B.E.F.‘s 1982 album of the same name in 1982, with vocals by Paul Jones.


Lyrics

There’s a ghost in my house
The ghost of your memories
The ghost of the love you took from me

Where our love used to be
Only shadows from the past I see
Time can’t seem to erase
The vision of your smiling face
Though you found someone new
I can’t get over you
There’s a ghost in my house
I can’t hide (ghost in my house)
From the ghost of your love that’s inside (ghost in my house)
It keeps on haunting me (ghost in my house)
Just keeps on reminding me (ghost in my house)

In my mind I know you’re gone
But my heart keeps holding on
To the memories of those happy times
And the love I thought was mine
Though we’re far apart
You’re always in my heart
There’s a ghost in my house
I can’t hide (ghost in my house)
From the ghost of your love that’s inside (ghost in my house)
You’re still such a part of me (ghost in my house)
Still so deep in the heart of me (ghost in my house)
I just keep hearing your footsteps on the stairs (ghost in my house)
When I know there’s no-one there (ghost in my house)
Every day I love you more (ghost in my house)
So much more than the day before (ghost in my house)

Sittin’ in my easy chair
I feel your fingers running through my hair
Lookin’ down in my coffee cup
I see your face lookin’ up
All alone in my gloom
You voice echoes through the room
There’s a ghost in my house
And I can’t hide (ghost in my house)
From the ghost of your love that’s inside (ghost in my house)
It keeps on haunting me (ghost in my house)
Just keeps on reminding me (ghost in my house)

I just keep hearing your footsteps on the stairs (ghost in my house)
When I know there’s no-one there (ghost in my house)
You’re still such a part of me (ghost in my house)
Still so deep in the heart of me (ghost in my house)
I can’t hide (ghost in my house)
From the ghost of your love that’s inside (ghost in my house)

Riddle (the)

Song written by Nik Kershaw, released in 1984 as the lead single of Kershaw’s second album of the same name. The single reached number 3 in the UK singles chart and Ireland and went top 10 in most other Euopean countries.

On 15 October 2013, he performed the song acoustically with Kim, Rick and Scarlett Wilde by his side on The Morning Show on Network 7 in Australia.

Live performances

Kim Wilde performed the song live during her Dutch tour in October 2015.

Nik Kershaw about ‘The Riddle’

What’s the answer to ‘The Riddle’?
It amazes me that people are still asking me this question. I spilled the beans a few years ago now so this isn’t exactly news.
My producer (Peter Collins) came over to my house just before we commenced recording on the second album to hear how I was getting on with the writing. He went away saying he thought it sounded great but didn’t think I had the first single. Incensed by this, I went straight up to the spare room and got the chords and melody together for the Riddle. This must’ve taken all of twenty minutes. Knowing time was short before we started recording I jotted down some jibberish with the intention of writing the real lyric as we were recording it.
About a week later we started recording and I threw a rough guide vocal down using the jibberish lyrics. As the album progressed, I tried various different lyric ideas but nothing seemed to fit as well as the guide lyric. So we decided to stick with what we had. “Let’s call it the Riddle”, I thought. Then people would think it was actually about something.
I had completely underestimated the fuss this would cause and, to make matters worse, the marketing and promotions people at MCA decided to make a competition out of it (without telling me). The response was unbelievable. We got sack loads of mail with elaborate and detailed analysis of the song. Line by line, word by word. Some were the size of small novels. Some even made sense!! People stopped me in the street to give me their thoughts and theories. On one occasion I arrived to do a live Radio 1 interview with a certain DJ only to find he’d told the great British public that I would be “revealing all” on his show. He was most put out when I wouldn’t (couldn’t) co-operate.
It all got a bit out of hand and, very quickly, passed the point at which I could come clean without pissing off a lot of people. In short, “The Riddle” is nonsense, rubbish, bollocks, the confused ramblings of an 80’s popstar. Please forgive me. I knew not what I did. (1)

Lyrics

I got two strong arms
Blessings of Babylon
With time to carry on and try
For sins and false alarms
So to America the brave
Wise men save

Near a tree by a river
There’s a hole in the ground
Where an old man of Aran
Goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon
In the veil of the night
For a strange kind of fashion
There’s a wrong and a right
But he’ll never, never fight over you

I got plans for us
Nights in the scullery
And days instead of me
I only know what to discuss
Oh, for anything but light
Wise men fighting over you

It’s not me you see
Pieces of valentine
With just a song of mine
To keep from burning history
Seasons of gasoline and gold
Wise men fold

Near a tree by a river
There’s a hole in the ground
Where an old man of Aran
Goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon
In the veil of the night
For a strange kind of fashion
There’s a wrong and a right
But he’ll never, never fight over you

I got time to kill
Sly looks in corridors
Without a plan of yours
A blackbird sings on bluebird hill
Thanks to the calling of the wild
Wise men’s child

Near a tree by a river
There’s a hole in the ground
Where an old man of Aran
Goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon
In the veil of the night
For a strange kind of fashion
There’s a wrong and a right
But he’ll never, never fight over you

Near a tree by a river
There’s a hole in the ground
Where an old man of Aran
Goes around and around
And his mind is a beacon
In the veil of the night
For a strange kind of fashion
There’s a wrong and a right
But he’ll never, never fight over you
But he’ll never, never fight over you

Name of the Game (the)

Song written by Benny Andersson, Stig Anderson and Bjorn Ulvaeus and originally performed by Abba in 1977 on the album ‘Abba – The Album’. It was released as a single in October 1977 and reached no. 1 in the UK.
On 13 January 2001, Kim Wilde sang this song as a special guest star in a live show by the Abba tribute band Fabba.


Lyrics

I’ve seen you twice, in a short time
Only a week since we started
It seems to me, for every time
I’m getting more open-hearted

I was an impossible case
No-one ever could reach me
But I think I can see in your face
There’s a lot you can teach me
So I wanna know

What’s the name of the game?
Does it mean anything to you?
What’s the name of the game?
Can you feel it the way I do?
Tell me please, ’cause I have to know
I’m a bashful child, beginning to grow

And you make me talk
And you make me feel
And you make me show
What I’m trying to conceal
If I trust in you, would you let me down?
Would you laugh at me?
If I said I care for you
Could you feel the same way too?
I wanna know
What’s the name of the game

I have no friends, no-one to see
And I am never invited
Now I am here, talking to you
No wonder I get excited

Your smile, and the sound of your voice
And the way you see through me
Got a feeling, you give me no choice
But it means a lot to me
So I wanna know…

 

Thank You for the Music

Song written by Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus and performed by Abba in 1977 on the album ‘Abba – The Album’. It’s perhaps Abba’s most famous song, but when it was finally released on single in 1983, it only reached no. 33 in the UK.

On 13 January 2001, Kim Wilde sang this song as a special guest star in a live show by the Abba tribute band Fabba.


Lyrics

I’m nothing special, in fact I’m a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke, you’ve probably heard it before
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
’cause everyone listens when I start to sing
I’m so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud

So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
She says I began to sing long before I could talk
And I’ve often wondered, how did it all start?
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a melody can?
Well, whoever it was, I’m a fan

So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

I’ve been so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair
I wanna sing it out to everybody
What a joy, what a life, what a chance!

So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

Kim sang a version of ‘Teenager in love’ with Cliff Richard in Chris Evans‘ breakfast show on BBC Radio 2 on 8 November 2013.


Lyrics

Each time we have a quarrel
It almost breaks my heart
‘Cos I am so afraid
That we will have to part

Each night I ask the stars
The stars up above
Why must I be a teenager in love

One day I feel so happy
Next day I feel so sad
I guess I’ll learn to take
The good with the bad

Each night I ask the stars up above
Why must I be a teenage in love

I cried a tear
For nobody but you
I’ll be the lonely one if you should say we’re through
Well if you want to make me cry
That won’t be so hard to do
And if you should say goodbye
I’ll still go on loving you

Each night I ask the stars up above
Why must I be a teenager in love
I cried a tear
For nobody but you
I’ll be the lonely one if you should say we’re through
Yeah
Well if you want to make me cry
That won’t be so hard to do
And if you should say goodbye
I’ll still go on loving you
Each night I ask the stars up above
Why must I be a teenager in love
Why must I be a teenager in love

Teddy Bear

Song written by Kal Mann and Bernie Lowe, originally published in 1957.

The song was a US number 1 hit for Elvis Presley during the summer of 1957, and his third of the four that he would have that year.

In 1982, Johnny Hallyday and Kim Wilde sang a cover of the song during a broadcast of the show ‘Formule 1+1’. It is the only time Kim has sung the song.


Lyrics

Baby let me be
your lovin’ teddy bear
Put a chain around my neck
and lead me anywhere
Oh let me be
your teddy bear.

I don’t wanna be a tiger
’cause tigers play too rough
I don’t wanna be a lion
’cause lions ain’t the kind you love enough

Just wanna be
your lovin’ teddy bear
Put a chain around my neck
and lead me anywhere
Oh let me be
your teddy bear.

Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word

Song written by Elton John and Bernie Taupin. Marty, Ricky and Kim Wilde performed this song at the Action for AIDS concert at Wembley Stadium in London, April 1987. A video recording of this song was released on a video called ‘Stand by me’.

In 2007, Marty Wilde released a career-spanning compilation album to celebrate his 50 years in the music business. The cd, Born to Rock ‘n’ Roll, featured a new recording of Kim and himself singing ‘Sorry Seems to Be he Hardest Word’, which was released as a promotional CD-single only.

Kim about ‘Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word’

It was nice to be able to sing with [Marty] at last. I know if I’d done it earlier in my career I’d have been flogged mercilessly, even more so than I have been. I’m not saying I want to be taken seriously, I don’t want that at all, but I do love being in music and I’d like people to believe that. Whatever you lot think about me, I’m still around.


Lyrics

What have I got to do to make you love me
What have I got to do to make you care
What do I do when lightning strikes me
And I wake to find that you’re not there

What do I do to make you want me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I say when it’s all over
And sorry seems to be the hardest word

It’s sad, so sad
It’s a sad, sad situation
And it’s getting more and more absurd
It’s sad, so sad
Why can’t we talk it over
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word

What do I do to make you love me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I do when lightning strikes me
What have I got to do
What have I got to do
When sorry seems to be the hardest word

Signed, Sealed, Delivered

Song written by Stevie Wonder, Lee Garrett, Syreeta Wright, Lula Mae Hardaway.
It was originally released in 1970 by Stevie Wonder, recorded for Motown’s Tamla label. The song spent six weeks at number one on the US R&B chart and peaked at number three on the US Pop chart. In the same year, the song was also released on the album of the same name.

Kim Wilde sang the song on 25 February 1995 in the last episode of the TV programme Don’t Forget Your Toothbrush, and once again on 31 August 2006 during the radio programme Jammin’.  On September 27, 2019 she performed the song together with Benny Smith during a charity concert in Hitchin. She has never made a studio recording of this track.


Lyrics

Like a fool I went and stayed too long
Now I’m wondering if your love’s still strong
Ooh baby, here I am, signed, sealed, delivered, I’m yours!

Then that time I went and said goodbye
Now I’m back and not ashamed to cry
Ooh baby, here I am, signed, sealed, delivered, I’m yours!

Here I am baby
Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I’m yours
(You got my future in your hands)
Here I am baby
Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I’m yours
(You got my future in your hands)

I’ve done a lot of foolish things
That I really didn’t mean, didn’t I?

Seen a lot of things in this old world
When I touch them, they mean nothing, girl
Ooh baby, here I am, signed, sealed, delivered, I’m yours!

Oowee baby, you set my soul on fire
That’s why I know you’re my heart’s only desire

Here I am baby
Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I’m yours
(You got my future in your hands)
Here I am baby
Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I’m yours
(You got my future in your hands)
