Deep Dead Blue
(25 June 1995)
A live collaboration with Bill Frisell, this is a most interesting disc. It features a couple of old favourites (Love Field and Poor Napoleon), a couple of collaborations and some just plain good music. If you're a fan of acoustic Elvis then you'll love this, but beware, it is an import and ran me about 18 bucks for the disk which only contains 7 tracks.

Lyrics
Weird Nightmare (Written By Charles Mingus, Submitted by Craig Ciccone)
Weird nightmare You haunt my every dream Weird nightmare Tell me what's your scheme? Can it be that you're a part Of a lonely broken heart? Weird nightmare Why must you torment me? Weird nightmare Pain and misery In a heart that's loved and lost Take away the grief you've caused Can't sleep at night Twist, turn in fright With the fear that I'll live it all again In my dreams You're there to haunt me When you say she doesn't want me I've been hurt Do you know what that means? Weird nightmare Take away this dream you've born Weird nightmare Mend a heart that's torn That has paid the price of love A thousand fold Bring me a love With a heart of gold Weird nightmare
Shamed Into Love (The Bugs Are Taking Over) (Written by Elvis Costello, Submitted by Craig Ciccone)
I fear, my dear We've forgotten the things strangers do If we could look back To the terrible thrill that we knew Am I imagining a world without you? Must we be shamed into love? What can I say? Will you pardon my stupid embrace? Sometimes I'm desperate While you're wiping the smile from your face Am I surrendering, or am I replaced? Must we be shamed into love? Shamed into love You're once a fool for having it Twice for letting it go Somewhere, my love, there's a feeling deep inside of me That I can't let go Oh, you'll never know But then, my darling I've forbidden myself to confess I've looked around now But I always return to your face In a world where everything I once cursed, I bless It must be you who shamed me into love Must we be shamed into love?
Gigi (Written by Lerner and Loewe, Submitted by Craig Ciccone)
Gigi Am I a fool without a mind? Or have I nearly been too blind to realize Oh, Gigi While you've been growing up before my eyes Gigi You're not all that funny or quick little girl I knew No, overnight there's been a breathless change in you Oh, Gigi While you were trembling on the brink Was I out yonder somewhere blinking at a star? Oh, Gigi Have I been standing up too close or back too far? When did your sparkle turn to fire? And your warmth become desire Oh, what miracle has made you the way you are? When did your warmth become desire? And your sparkle turn to fire? Oh, what miracle has made you the way you are? Oh, Gigi
Deep Dead Blue (Written by Costello/Frisell, A Bolan Transcription)
Deep dead blue Deep dead blue Deep dead blue that nightly shades I'm lost in deep dead blue Deep dead blue Beyond the deep dead blue
