And it's hard to break a habit

It was a milestone for "the other Minogue" this week - as Kylie's little sister Dannii hit the "big 5-0" on Wednesday!

It's customary here at Dolores Delargo Towers to greet the end of a week with relief, and a party choon - although this week, my celebrations came somewhat early as I took annual leave yesterday and today [and the weather, for a change, has been glorious! *] - and who better to provide it than Dannii?

Here's one of her biggest hits in the UK charts (it got to #3) from twenty years ago - and Thank Disco the Minogue gene-pool It's Friday!

Where do we go now? I don't know
Innocence over, fading fast
And it's hard to know what you're thinking
When you hide inside your head
You're still promising perfection, perfection
With empty words, with empty words
With empty words, with empty words

And it's hard to break a habit
You're lost inside it
Who do you love now?
And it's hard to break a habit
You're lost inside it
Who do you love now?
Who do you love now?
Who do you love now?

A moment of coldness
Cuts through me (cuts through me)
I've tried to remember
Why I don't leave (I don't leave)
And you're the cause of my confusion
Closing down the way I feel
How come I don't see so clearly, so clearly?
Fighting to breathe, fighting to breathe
Fighting to breathe, fighting to breathe

And it's hard to break a habit
You're lost inside it
Who do you love now?
And it's hard to break a habit
You're lost inside it
Who do you love now?
Who do you love now?
Who do you love now?

Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?

Have a great weekend, peeps!

Many happy returns, Miss Danielle Jane Minogue (born 20th October 1971)

  1. Dani is very underrated. I have enjoy her much over the years especially some of her club hits.

    1. She's done a lot of good stuff - but will forever be overshadowed by Our Princess! Jx

  2. Dani IS underrated. I have loved so many of her songs. Of course, when one's sister is Kylie... well... Thank you for sharing this. Have a lovely weekend.

    1. She's carved out a niche for herself as a telly host/talent show judge, so she's more "out of the shadow" nowadays. Jx

  3. I can feel a Dannii Day coming on (I have two or three of her albums which I haven't listened to in ages).
    Oh, and thanks for posting the lyrics to "Who Do You Love Now" as I'd been getting some of them completely wrong (and some I just could not decipher, so just "sang" nonsense words instead): I thought "With empty words" was "Way down to us", and "Fighting to breathe" ended up as "Finding two bees"...

    Happy weekend!

    1. Now there's a challenge - to try and find a song that actually does contain the lyric "finding two bees"! Monty Python's Eric the Half a Bee probably comes close... Jx

  4. I'm glad that the sisters get on, I enjoy hearing them warble together.
    Have a great weekend!

    1. They seem very close, although none of their duets has been a commercial success. Jx

    1. She may not be a "Patron Saint", but fab nonetheless. Jx
