Biography

An Australian dance/rock group. Had a hit in 2003 with a reworking of INXS's "Need You Tonight"; retitled "One Of My Kind"; but were unable to follow the success of this song until 2005; when with the addition of singer/actress Natalie Bassingthwaighte on vocals they scored a massive hit with "Voodoo Child". (Guitarist Tim Henwood and Drummer Cameron McGlinchey were then added to the lineup for live shows). Further success followed with the singles "Way To Go" and "Watching You" reaching the top 10; although they experienced something of a backlash from critics in Australia (who felt the group had "sold out" and that Bassingthwaighte -- well known for her role on popular soap opera "Neighbours" -- had been added to the lineup more to generate publicity than for her musical abilities). Media overexposure, the departure of founding member Steve D, a tour with manufactured pop group Girlband and some less-than-spectacular live performances from Bassingthwaighte did little to dispel these critics; but "Voodoo Child" managed to repeat its success across Europe. Natalie left the band on the 25th of June, 2008. Cameron also left the same year. Tim Henwood returned as guitarist on the 13th of August, 2009, replacing Danny Spencer who had assumed the role in his absence. On the 14th of November, 2009, Melinda 'Mindi' Jackson was recruited as the new lead singer along with Peter Marin as the new drummer.

LYRICS

Paroles de la chanson Watching You par Rogue Traders
Take me downtown
It's where the people rock,
Three-hundred sixty five days we never stop.
Take me downtown
Cos' peoples runnin' wild.
See how we kick it in a brand new style.
Take me downtown
It's where I wanna go.
Everyone I know is going to my show-
Take me downtown
Where the city hum,
Then get your head numb to the beat of the drum cause,

I see you watching me watching you,
And now you see just where you gotta be.
I see you watching me watching you,
And now you see just where you gotta be.
Take me downtown
Cause baby wants to rock.
I need a little edge with my electro-pop
Take me downtown
So everybody sees
I know my moves like my ABCs
Take me downtown
It's time we made it right
This show ain't going nowhere we'll just party all night

Take me downtown
Where the city hum,
Then get your head numb to the beat of the drum.
I see you watching me watching you,
And now you see just where you gotta be.
I see you watching me watching you,
And now you see just where you gotta be.
Baby rock, never stop,
Round and round the clock.
Lover's rock, give it up,
Never, never stop.
Baby rock, get on top,
Take it take it all.

I'm not the kind of girl, who's scared of you at all cause,
I see you watching me watching you,
I see you watching me watching you ROCK!
I see you watching me watching you,
And now you see just where you gotta be.
I see you watching me watching you,
And now you see just where you gotta be.
