| Produced by Jimmy Harry, this Christmas single is a heartbreaking ballad. Kylie performed this hit with a Fabulous Baker Boys inspired routine at the end of 1994. | Remixed from the album by Brothers In Rhythm, the track became a sexy mid-paced number. Originally scheduled for a March release it finally appeared in July. | This surprising duet with goth rocker Nick Cave recieved critical acclaim. A murder ballad about Eliza Day and her impassioned demise by her lover is Kylie's favourite song of her own. | A disappointing chart peak for the first single released off 'Impossible Princess'. The Manic Street Preachers produced number was Kylie's first and only non top 20 hit in the UK. | A semi-humourous jibe at Kylie's personality. This schizophrenic rocky tinged song became a favourite when it was performed live during her tour of Australia in 1998. |
