About Love Blonde

"Love Blonde" is the first single from the Kim Wilde album Catch as Catch Can, released in 1983. The song sold moderately, restoring some of the ground lost from her previous release "Child Come Away" and is reputedly about Wilde herself. It features Gary Barnacle on saxophone. It marked the first occasion where Wilde released a 12" extended version of one of her singles, and the first time she released a 12" single in her home country (she had previously released 12" singles in Europe, but merely featuring the normal version of the single). The UK edition of the 12" single included a free poster. The version on the 7" single was slightly shorter than that on the original LP.

Something's coming down the street
Something static under your feet
Never looking left or right
'coz she'll just blow you out of sight

She's never waiting on your smile
Devastating, what's in her style ?
Situation no-go zone
But she'll cut loose when she's alone

[Chorus:]
She's a love Blonde
She's a love Blonde
She's a love Blonde
She's got that sensuality for love

When the boys say "how you been
What you doin', Can we get in ?"
Eyes'll flash and lips will smile
And she'll just tease them for a while

'coz now you see her, now you don't
You could be there, only you won't
If you've got that "Savoir Faire"
Well that girl knows and she's aware

[Chorus]

Oooh, well if she fills your dreams tonight
Oooh, just lay back and hold on tight

[Chorus]
