For many years, the group presented a ragamuffin image and a vagabonding lifestyle, travelling around Europe in a double-decker bus and houseboat. Their image was enhanced by their eclectic and often homemade clothing, and the very long hair worn by both male and female members of the band. The Kelly Family began to break up in 2000 and afterwards they performed mostly as individuals or sub-sets of the whole group and took on a more mainstream look.

Thrills
The Kelly Family Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby, you know the eye is on you
Everytime I'm looking to you straight in the eye
Baby, baby,baby, I get the thrills
Why won't you leave away from my side before you break my heart
Baby, won't you lose, so please
Leave away from my side before you break my heart
It's only...(etc.)
The Kelly Family's song "Thrills" is a love song that expresses the desire and passion of the singer towards their loved one. The first line of the chorus "It's only everytime I'm looking to you straight in the eyes," suggests the singer finding solace and comfort in their lover's presence. They seem to experience a rush of emotions, which they call "the thrills," when they gaze into the eyes of their beloved. This feeling of being swept away is further emphasized in the repetition of "baby, baby, baby" in the chorus, providing a sense of urgency and eagerness to connect with their lover.
However, despite the strong affection that exists in the relationship, there is an element of uncertainty and fear present in the song. The artist begs the lover to "leave away from my side before you break my heart" in the second half of the chorus. This suggests a fear of vulnerability and the possibility of getting hurt due to their strong emotional investment in the relationship. This contrast highlights the complexities of love and the different emotions one experiences when in love.

It's only everytime I'm looking to you straight in the eyes
Every time I gaze upon your eyes, baby
Baby, you know the eye is on you
You know you are the center of my attention, baby
Everytime I'm looking to you straight in the eye
When I stare at you without any disguise
Baby, baby,baby, I get the thrills
I get excited whenever you're near me, baby
Why won't you leave away from my side before you break my heart
Please leave before you shatter my heart, it will tear me apart
Baby, won't you lose, so please
Please walk away, I can't handle this, baby
Leave away from my side before you break my heart
I cannot bear it if you decide to part
'cause baby, baby,baby, I get the thrills
You give me such a rush, baby

There's a part of my heart
Wide and open for you
The key to my heart
It could be you
And if you got the key to my heart
You got to unlock the door
And to unlock the door
You got to find the right floor
You can try you can try
To get to my heart
You can try you can try
To find the right floor
Go ahead and dream
Dream as far as you want
The key to my heart
It could be you
You can try
If you happened to try
You could do fine
But if you happen to try
Don't fall and cry
Please don't cry please don't cry
You're breaking my heart
Please don't cry please don't cry
You're breaking my heart
There's a part of my heart
You can try

The Kellys are one of those rare bands that are often as good or even better Live than in the studio . . . they gave it a their all each time, even when exhausted. GOD Bless them. But they had fans who were the greatest too.

Cały zespół jest fenomenalnie dobry, z energią, z żywiołowością z powerem, brakuje mi teraz takich talentów takich występów , to były dobre wspaniałe czasy. A Patrick to taki mega pozytywny wariat sceniczny (jak i cała reszta) mało kto tak potrafi porwac tłumy do zabawy. No cos wspaniałego chce się tego słuchac bez końca. Robili kawał porządnej roboty.
