"With female singers being plucked from their cradles our Kim is almost a geriatric in pop terms. God knows how many times she's been written off, and then bounced back stronger and slicker than ever. This latest album is proof that Kim will still be around when her rivals are fighting it out in the bargain bins."

“When love's the culmination / of everything you feel / then it's the only thing that's precious / it's the only thing that's real”

“I watch you sleep in the still of the night / You look so pretty when you dream / So many people just go through life / Holding back, they don't say what they mean / But it's easy for me / Since you came”

“Is our time up and on to the next fire / Got my fingers burnt and cut into the wire.”

“I think that not being loved by your parents or not having a brother or not being liked at school or even wearing glasses can be a lot worse than having a famous father.”

“Snap your fingers and somebody runs / You don't care how they feel just as long as they come / Got your head in the stars now you've come this far / Just who do you think you are?”

“Being blonde now doesn't mean Marilyn Monroe vulnerability. Blonde in the Eighties means being in control.”
