Lyrics[]
Anytime I need to see your face,
I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place where
your crystal mind and
Magenta feelings take up shelter
in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chic-a-cherry cola
I don't need to try and explain;
I just hold on tight
And if it happens again, I might move
so slightly
To the arms and the lips and the face
of the human cannonball
That I need to, I want to
Come stand a little bit closer
Breath in and get a bit higher
You'll never know what hit you
When I get to you
Ooh, I want you
I don't know if I need you
But, ooh, I'd die to find out
Ooh, I want you
I don't know if I need you
But, ooh, I'd die to find out
I'm the kind of person who endorses
a deep commitment
Getting comfy getting perfect
is what I live for
But a look, then a smell of perfume
It's like I'm down on the floor
And I don't know what I'm in for
Conversation has a time and place
In the interaction of a lover and
a mate,
But the time of talking,
using symbols, using words
Can be likened to a deep sea diver
who is swimming with a raincoat
Come stand a little bit closer
Breathe in and get a bit higher
You'll never know what hit you
When I get to you
Ooh, I want you
I don't know if I need you
But, ooh, I'd die to find out
Ooh, I want you
I don't know if I need you
But, ooh, I'd die to find out
Anytime I need to see your face,
I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place where
your crystal mind and
Magenta feelings take up shelter
in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chic-a-cherry cola
I don't need to try and explain;
I just hold on tight
And if it happens again, I might move
so slightly
To the arms and the lips and the face
of the human cannonball
That I need to, I want to
Ooh, I want you
I don't know if I need you
But, ooh, I'd die to find out
Ooh, I want you
I don't know if I need you
But, ooh, I'd die to find out
So can we find out?
Facts[]
AUS Music Video[]
- In the very very beginning of the video, you can see Darren's shadow against the wall and he's dancing...
- Whoa... check out the red stripes in Darren's hair! Appearently he had slight problems getting them out, and had to enlist the help of Roadshow manager and friend Kate Hudspeth to help remove them without yanking out an entire patch of hair with it. That's just too funny...
- Aww, even Daniel is singing along!
- Remember the Roxette comparisons? Roxette had a video where they were riding around...

- The switchboards that blink on and off throughout the video have words on them. If you watch it on slow motion, you can catch a few. A few examples: CYMBAL, COWBOY, and TAP.
- First in many times that Daniel throws his guitar pick in his career-- appearently he got mad at the director and flicked his pick at him.
- There's a fire extinguisher in the room the girl is in.
- Dan's guitar is fake...too bad, I thought it was cool.
- Daniel's shoe is fixing to come off at one point.
- What's with Darren's eyebrow? He must do that at least ten times.
- When the girl comes up on the screen and the guys run to it, even though Darren is closer he gets there after Daniel (He had to run around the wind machine and he kept tripping).
- You can't look for this in the video, but while filming Daz fell over on set (from tripping over the wind machine). Ouch!
