This album, released in 1991, is one of the examples of what an artist should not do to exploit the fleeting commercial success of a song… in 1989, in fact, "Heart Shaped World," the third solo album by our Chris, was released. Generally, a good effort from which the splendid and ethereal ballad "Wicked Game" was extracted as a single.
Following the wave of success of this, this enigmatic album was re-released: it's not a compilation, it's not the reissue of the '89 album with bonus tracks, it's not the release of rarities or unreleased tracks… despite this, the material published here, drawn from the first three albums of this American singer-songwriter suspended between Roy Orbison, Elvis Presley, Morricone-soundtrack-style, and languid cocktail lounge "slow" songs, is generally of sufficient level.
Recommended for those looking for a pleasant and unpretentious listen and to appreciate this crooner's attempt to find an improbable balance between the nervous depression of his lyrics and the optimistic landscapes his music evokes.
Tracklist Lyrics and Videos
01 Wicked Game (04:49)
The world was on fire no-one could save me but you
Strange what desire will make foolish lovers do
I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
No, I don't wanna fall in love
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don't wanna fall in love
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
With you
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
What a wicked game to play to let me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do to let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say you never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do to let me dream of you
And I don't wanna fall in love
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don't wanna fall in love
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
With you
The world was on fire no-one could save me but you
Strange what desire will make foolish lovers do
I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
No, I don't wanna fall in love
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don't wanna fall in love
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
With you
(this world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
Nobody loves no one
06 Funeral in the Rain (03:22)
I wait, too long, I'll die, If I'm alone.
I wait, too shy, love dies, I'm alone to cry.
I'm walking, I keep on walking down the street.
I'm watching, I keep on searching every face I meet.
I loved her but now I've lost her, loves in vain.
I watch a funeral in the rain.
I'm walking, I keep on walking around the world.
I'm talking, I keep on talking about a girl.
I loved her but now I've lost her, loves in vain.
I watch a funeral in the rain.
I watch a funeral in the rain.
All the world, knows the girl.
All the world, knows she's gone.
She's gone...... She's gone....
I'm walking, I keep on walking around the clock.
They're watching, they keep talking let them talk.
I loved her but now I've lost her, loves in vain.
I watch a funeral in the rain.
I watch a funeral in the rain.
I watch a funeral in...... the rain.
She's gone........She's gone.......She's gone........She's gone.
08 Dancin' (03:45)
I keep on dancin'
Dancin'
Nothing left to say
Nothing left to do
I find myself alone
And thinking just of you
You got me dancin'
Dancin'
Why don't you help me?
Why don't you guide me?
Why don't you promise
To stand beside me?
There was a man in a foreign land
In love with a woman that he didn't understand
Love is not a thing you command
Love is something that keeps you, keeps you
Dancin'
Dancin'
Why don't you help me?
Why don't you guide me?
Why don't you promise
To stand beside me?
I keep on dancin'
Dancin'
Nothing left to say
Nothing left to do
I find myself alone
And thinking just of you
You've got me dancin'
Dancin'
Why don't you help me?
Why don't you guide me?
Why don't you promise
To stand beside me?
Dancin'
Dancin'
Dancin'
You've got me
Oh
Help me
Guide me
Why don't you promise
To stand beside me
Help me
Oh
10 Voodoo (02:42)
I know what to do when your sad and lonely,
I know what to do when you love her only.
I know what to do when no one needs you,
I know what to do you do voodoo. Voodoo.
You do voodoo.
I know what to do when the world decieves you,
I know what to do when no one needs you.
I know what to do when your whole heart breathes you,
I know what to do when your lover leaves you Voodoo.
You do voodoo.
Dance in a ring of flames, shadows fall the same, fire, love and pain.
Do voodoo, voodoo, voodoo.
I know what to do when your sad and lonely,
I know what to do when you love her only.
I know what to do when no one needs you,
I know what to do you do voodoo,
I know what to do you do voodoo, voodoo, you do voodoo, you do voodoo, you do voodoo.
