I walk a mile with the smile I don't know, I don't care where I am But I know it's alright
Jump the tracks Can't get back I don't know anyone around here But I'm safe this time
Cos when you Tell me, Tell me, Tell me Stupid things, like you do Yes, I Have to, have to, have to Change the rules I can't lose
Cause I shiver I just break up When I'm near you It all gets out of hand Yes I shiver I get bent up There's no way that I know you'll understand
We talk and talk 'round it all Who'd have thought We'd end up here But I'm feeling fine In a rush Never trust You'll be there If I'd only stop and take my time
Cos with you I'm running, running, running Somewhere I can't get to Yes I
have to have to have to Change the rules I'm with you
What if you get off at the next stop Would you just wave us I'm drifting off And if I never saw you again Could I keep all of this inside
» Australian singer Natalie Imbruglia is "terrified" of becoming a mother. The Torn star wants to savour her marriage to Silverchair frontman Daniel Johns before they embark on parenthood. Imbruglia, 30, says, "I just want to enjoy being married first. "Having tried my hand at babysitting, I found myself terrified of the responsibility. "Thankfully, it's not a question of one of us wanting kids while the other doesn't. We're both in the same head space." Contactmusic
» Australian star Natalie Imbruglia credits husband Daniel Johns's positive influence on her life for the "uplifting music" on her new album. The antipodean beauty believes her new disc Counting down the days completely encapsulates her upbeat mood, which she attributes to the SILVERCHAIR frontman whom she married in 2003 after a four-year courtship. The
three-year recording session is in marked contrast to her second album, White lilies island, which was released in 2001 and heavily influenced by the deep depression she was suffering from. She says, "My new album, which Dan and I worked on together, is proof that I'm in a good place. "The songs refer to Dan because he's been at the forefront of my mind during the three-year recording process. "And this is evidence of how happy I've been - and remain. It's all uplifting music." As for the public reaction, she comments, "Finally, I think I've got to a place where I can cope with it." Contactmusic

Biography Courtesy of BMG Records for the "Counting Down the Days Release"
Natalie Imbruglia is back with a sensational, brand new studio album; ‘Counting Down the Days’, released April 4th on Brightside Records.
Stuffed with contemporary pop anthems as well as tender, beguiling and utterly winning ballads, the album eloquently showcases Natalie’s talents as both a songwriter and wonderfully expressive vocalist. Natalie co-writes 10 of the 12 tracks on the album including the infectious first single, ‘Shiver’, released March 21st.
“I am so happy and truly proud of this album,” says Natalie. “With me it’s always about feeling genuinely comfortable with the music I am working on as well as with the people and producers around me and on ‘Counting Down the Days’ I worked with some amazing people and I am so pleased with this record.”
Natalie’s last album, ‘White Lilies Island’, was released in November 2001 and featured the singles, ‘That Day’ and ‘Wrong Impression. ‘White Lilies Island’, followed the massive worldwide success of 1997’s ‘Left of the Middle’ album and the phenomenally successful single ‘Torn’.
Initial writing for, ‘Counting Down the Days’ began in 2002. Enough material, according to Natalie was assembled for two albums and the recording process was really a matter of refining ideas and identifying the direction Natalie wanted to take the album in.
“The process is always very organic. I didn’t go in with too many set ideas, except that I wanted it to reflect the place I am in at the moment and to have fun with it. My mindset with this album was all about enjoying myself and feeling confident in my own abilities. Hugh Goldsmith was instrumental in helping me find the direction of the album and assembling a wonderful team.”
Hugh Goldsmith is one of the most respected A & R men/label bosses in the UK. He has formed a new record company, ‘Brightside’, in association with Sony/BMG after considerable success with the ‘Innocent’ label he founded at EMI/Virgin.
The team assembled includes producer Ben Hillier who worked on Blur’s album, ‘Think Tank’, writers/producers, Ash Howes, Martin Harrington, Daniel Johns, Eg White and David Koston aka Faultline, who collaborated with Natalie on one of her favourite tracks on the album, ‘Honeycomb Child’.
Other album highlights include the triumphant ‘Counting Down the Days’, ‘Satisfied’ , ’Slow Down’, ‘Come on Home’ and ‘Starting Today’ – a
song, as the title implies, about new beginnings, and of course the addictive first single, ‘Shiver.’
Natalie was born in New South Wales on February 4th, 1975. Her father is Italian and her mother Australian. She began her career in television at the age of 17, in the hugely popular soap ‘Neighbours’. It was through this programme, in which she appeared until 1994, that she first made a name for herself.
In 1997, whilst living in the UK she recorded her first album, ‘Left of the Middle’, which was a massive global success, selling more than six and a half million copies worldwide. ‘Torn’, her first single, made her an overnight star and brought worldwide fame. With the help of Phil Thornalley (of The Cure), she developed her own particular style, which captivated the whole of Europe.
In November 2001, she released her second album, ‘White Lilies Island’ which she wrote while touring and travelling back and forth between the UK and the United States.
In 2002, her music featured in the film, ‘Stigmata’, in which she sang a song composed by Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins. In December 2002, Natalie took part in the Rumba Festival in Australia and New Zealand. The same year Natalie also became one of the faces of L’Oreal and took her first steps in the world of cinema, starring alongside Rowan Atkinson and John Malkovich in the Working Title Feature film, ‘Johnny English’.
Natalie is looking forward to the year ahead, promoting and touring ‘Counting Down The Days.’
Aussie pop babe Natalie Imbruglia has been a model, singer and actress - and now she's shown she's a dab hand at DJing.
The former Neighbours star jetted into Scotland yesterday for an exclusive interview with Radio Clyde DJ Suzie McGuire. But rather than just babbling on about herself, the 29-year-old was more interested in getting her hands on the mixing desk. Suzie said: 'She's got the world at her feet - and to add to it all, she makes a great DJ. 'She had a go while she was in the studio. She even got the timing and everything right introducing songs.'
Natalie was in Glasgow for the first UK radio play of her new single, Shiver, the first release from new album Counting Down the Days. The singer's hubby, Daniel Johns from Silverchair, produced the record and inspired many of the lyrics. But Natalie ruled out a full-on collaboration with her partner. She said: 'My husband produced on the record and wrote on one of the songs. But recording a song together isn't something we'd do. He's got his own things going on.'
Natalie is hoping Counting Down The Days matches the success of her critically acclaimed first album, Left of the Middle, from which the single Torn became an anthem worldwide. The new disc has taken four years to complete and in that time the singer has changed her management and musical team, switching to Sony BMG.
Natalie said: 'I like being away from it all and having time to get it right. But now I'm ready to go - I'm looking forward to getting back into it.'
The video for Shiver was shot in Europe and features a very sexy looking Natalie as a spy.
The singer, who starred in the spy-spoof Johnny English, said: 'It's really exciting and a lot of unexpected things happen in it. 'It looks like an advert for a film that doesn't really exist.'
Natalie is planning a tour for later this year and promised Scotland will be included.
She said: 'I haven't got any dates in yet, but I'm sure I'll perform here.'
Shiver is released March 21, followed by Counting Down The Days on April 4. Daily Record
