Questo disco pubblicato nel 1991 è uno degli esempi di quello che un artista non dovrebbe fare per sfruttare l’effimero successo commerciale di un suo brano… nel 1989 infatti usciva "Heart Shaped World" terzo disco solista del nostro Chris. In generale una buona prova dal quale venne estratto come singolo la splendida ed eterea ballata "Wicked Game".
Sull’onda del successo di questa venne riproposto questo disco enigmatico: non è una raccolta, non è la ripubblicazione del disco dell’ 89 con bonus track, non è la pubblicazione di rarità o inediti… nonostante ciò il materiale qui pubblicato, tratto dai primi tre dischi di questo cantautore americano sospeso tra Roy Orbison, Elvis Presley, la colonna sonora alla Morricone e i languidi "lenti" da cocktail lounge, è in generale di livello sufficiente.
Consigliato per chi cerca un ascolto gradevole e non impegnato e apprezzare il tentativo di questo crooner di trovare un’improbabile equilibrio tra la depressione nervosa dei suoi testi e i paesaggi ottimisti che la sua musica rievoca.

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.
