[Intro]
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

[Verse 1]
Listen can you hear the distance calling
Far away but we'll be with you soon
Rocketing to outer space in orbit
Take us to the pop stars on the moon

[Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah, travel in light years
Ah, ah, ah, travel in light years

[Verse 2]
Have yourself a taste of foreign glamour
Speeding on our way to something new
Missing for a night but gone forever
The crew are here to take good care of you

[Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah, travel in light years
Ah, ah, ah, travel in light years

[Spoken]
Please fasten your seat belts
My name is Kylie
I'll be your purser
The exits are in the front and the rear of the craft

[Verse 3]
Get up to get down at discoteca
Take a breath and take the plunge my dear
Maybe things that you don't know are better
I'll take you in my capsule out of here

[Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah, travel in light years
Ah, ah, ah, travel in light years

[Spoken]
Thank you for flying KM Air
We hope you had a pleasant flight
Please, fly with us again

Kylie Minogue is an Australian singer, songwriter, and actress. Often referred to as the Goddess of Pop with a career spanning over 30 years, she has transformed from girl-next-door soap star to ‘90s pop starlet, and short-lived indie darling to bona fide superstar.

Kylie earned her first big break on the Australian soap opera Neighbours, playing tomboy mechanic Charlene Mitchell. An on-screen romance with Jason Donovan – who played Scott Robinson – blossomed into a real-life relationship, and their wedding on the soap drew in millions of viewers. However, her real ambition was a successful career in music, and by 1988 her debut album, Kylie, was released, reaching #1 in the UK and Australia. Notching up 10 UK Top 3 singles by 1993, she was one of the defining popstars of the early ‘90s. Her follow-ups to the debut album – Enjoy Yourself, Rhythm of Love and Let’s Get To It – all reached the Top 15 in the UK.

With a blossoming relationship with late INXS frontman Michael Hutchence, Kylie was encouraged to be more ambitious with her image and sound. As such, she left her former label, PWL, and released the daring “Confide In Me” in early 1994. Critics praised her re-invention, and the single restored the success she had somewhat lost with her previous album. Impossible Princess was another critical success but failed to make much of an impact on the charts, which led some media outlets to believe that her “15 minutes of fame” were over.
