1991 CD WEA 72590

Matt Bianco enjoyed European chart success during the 1980's and early 90's. Their biggest hit, 'Don't Blame it on that Girl', was produced by none other than Emilio Estefan. This collection features that tune plus a Seven & 12-inch mixes of their track 'Fire in the Blood', a 1990 update of 'We've Got the Mood' & twelve more.



Brilliant - can't help but have a good time with this album!
Maybe I'm biased, I've always "got" the Matt Bianco thing, but that doesn't stop me loving this album to pieces especially! Its one of those that you always put on to make yourself feel happy, or to make yourself feel happier, and when you are totally happy already. Buy it boys and girls!

Matt's Mood
It's too bad this band has never really caught on in the States. They, along with Swing Out Sister, helped introduce a fresh new sound to the music world. They also brought us the lovely Basia. Luckily, while living in London, I was able to pick up this greatest hits collection. The album is a wonderful of blend musical influences. Pick it up if you have the chance.

T-Bone Malone from Washington, DC, July 26, 2000



The Album is Very Very Very Good
I got the album, just thinking that I knew only one or two tracks, but I knew most of them. I haven't stopped playing it in over a forthnight. It's fantastic.

A music fan from Ireland, October 20, 1999



04. Januar 1991: Die Platte ist voller Hits, die jeder kennt. Wer bisher mit Matt Bianco, aus den Achtzigern, nichts anfangen konnte, wird sich wundern wie oft man heute noch diese Musik im Radio, Fernsehn und sonst wo hört. Sicher ist diese Platte nicht eine Novum oder etwas extrem ungewöhnliches, aber die Melodien gehen in die Beine und bleiben im Kopf. Zudem findet man kaum eine "Best of..." die tatsächliche alle Hits enthält, die dann auch noch gut sind. Vergleichbar mit Sade oder Style Council. Die Musik ist über die Zeit absolut jung geblieben und hat nichts von ihrem Charme verloren. Die Platte lohnt sich auf jeden Fall.

DON'T BLAME IT ON THAT GIRL

*
In this world
Nobody you can blame
You've got to stake your claim
Make it your aim
Don't blame it on that girl
It's the only way she knows
Don't blame it on that girl
She wants a better world
Don't blame it on that girl
 
Little girl, big dreams
Read it in a magazine
Did that girl
Life's more like a beauty trip
She set off with all the tricks
Did that girl
 
Repeat   *
 
Her beauty was her saving grace
She goes far on pretty face
Will that girl
Use it for her every need
Beauty of the first degree
Was that girl
 
Repeat   *
 
Hit it!
Repeat    *
Take it down
Don't blame it on that girl
 
She's doing what comes naturally
She's not the girl she wants to be
She's doing what comes naturally


YEH! YEH!

Yeh every evening
When all my day's work is through
I call my baby
And ask her what should we do
I mention movies
But she don't seem to dig that
And then she asks me
Why don't I come to her flat
And have some supper
And let the evening pass by
And dig her records
Listen to groovy hifi
I say yeh yeh
That's what I say, I say yeh yeh
 
My baby loves me
She gets me feeling so fine
She loves me
She makes me know taht she's mine
And when she kisses
I feel the fire get hot
She never misses
She gives it all that she's got
And when she asks me
If everything is okay
I've got my answer
The only thing I can say
I say yeh yeh
That's what I say, I say yeh yeh

*
We'll play a melody
And turn the lights down low
So that none can see
We gotta do that, we gotta do that
We gotta do that, we gotta do that
And there'll be no one else alive
In all the world 'cept you and me
Yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh
 
**
Pretty baby
I never knew such a thrill
This I can tell you
Because I'm trembling still
And pretty baby
I want you all for my own
I think I'm ready
To leave those others alone
No need to ask me
If everything is okay
I've got my answer
The only thing I can say
I say yeh yeh
That's what I say, I say yeh yeh
 
Yeh yeh!
Repeat   *
Repeat   **
That's what I say, I say yeh yeh
That's what I say, I say yeh yeh
That's what I say, I say yeh yeh
Yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh....


HALF A MINUTE

What is there to say
When all the love has slipped away
In half a minute
There is always something we can blame
But in the end it's just the same
Suddenly you find yourself alone
 
Half a minute
Half a minute
 
What is there to say
When every dream just fades away
In half a minute
Every explanation we can find
Will never change it we are through
Suddenly you'll find yourself alone
 
Half a minute
Half a minute
...


MORE THAN I CAN BEAR

I thought that I was over you
How I was mistaken
Why did I bump into you
And start this chain reaction, mm
 
I felt it building up inside
When suddenly
Oh, it was more than I can bear
Mm, more than I can bear
 
When I saw you
Walking down the road with someone new
I couldn't believe it was true
It was true, yeah
 
I find it hard to sleep at night
This jealousy is burning bright
Visions of somebody else
Torments me to distraction, oh yeah
 
I think of him
Making, making love to you
It's more than I can
Oh, it was more than I can bear
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, girl
 
(it's more than I can bear)
Walking down the road with someone new
(it's more than I can bear)
I couldn't believe that it was true
(it's more than I can bear)
It was true
 
When I saw you
(it's more than I can bear)
Walking down the road with someone new
(it's more than I can bear)
I closed my eyes
I know I'm not over you
(it's more than I can bear)
Over you
 
When I saw you
Walking down the road with someone new
I closed my eyes
I know I'm not over you
Mm, I still love you, baby
 
(it's more than I can bear)
Yeah, I still love you baby
(it's more than I can bear)
Hey, I still love you baby
(it's more than I can bear)
Yeah, yeah
 
It's more than I can bear.....


SNEAKING OUT THE BACK DOOR

I don't stay long
When things are going wrong
I haven't got the time, you see
Moving from place to place
Another town, a different face
You may find me
Sneaking out the back door with a grin
 
Love I've had before
It nailed me to the floor
I prefer my own company
Love to me is being free
With no responsibility
So you may find me
Sneaking out the back door with a grin
 
Just another drink
And I'll be on my way
Sneaking out the back door with a grin
 
I move along when things are going wrong
So you may find me
Sneaking out the back door with a grin

GOOD TIMES

We with the secrets that we keep
Had the world beneath our feet
And now, as we live in changing times
When the feelings won't subside
Can we fight to keep the fire burning
 
*
(How long)
Must we carry on
(When we know)
Things have all gone wrong
(Can we show)
How it was better
Just give the sign
And take me right back to the
 
**
Good times
And let your feelings show
Bring back those good times
Let the whole world know
Bring back those oh so good times
Never never ever let them go
 
Back to a time when we were free
See the way we used to be, oh yeah
Don't let the feeling fade away
'Cause there will come a day
When everyone will be reminded
 
Repeat   *
Repeat   **
Repeat   *
Good times, good times
Repeat   **
Oh no!
(Good times)
And never never ever let them go
(Good times)
Do you remember
(Good times)
Good, good, good times
(Good times)
And never never ever let them go
Good times...

GET OUT OF YOUR LAZY BED

*
Get up, get up, get up
Get out of your lazy bed
Before I count to three
Step to it, baby
 
She goes out every night
Till the morning light
And she sleeps all day
So come on, get up
I won't say it again
I'll drag you out, yeah
 
Repeat   *
 
I don't care anymore
If you sleep on the floor
'Cause I'm locking you out
So come on get up
I won't say it again
I'll drag you out, yeah
 
Get up, get up, get up
Get out of your lazy bed
(Repeat to end)

DANCING IN THE STREET

Oh June
I've been missing you
Yeah, winter's coming
Gotta get a job real soon
And June
When I get  some money through, yeah
I'm getting out of here
And I'm coming back to you, yeah
I can hear them
 
Hear them sing, sandals ring
Everybody's dancing in the street
Yeah, dancing in the street
 
Oh June
When I think of you, yeah
Oh you've got that something
Puts me in the groove
And June
When I'm loving you, yeah
Never felt so good
Never thought I could
Oh June, yeah
I can hear them
 
Hear them sing, sandals ring
Everybody's dancing in the street
Yeah, dancing in the street
Dancing in the street
 
I'm getting out of here
I know I need you baby
 
Hear them sing, sandals ring
Everybody's dancing in the street
Yeah
 
Oh you got me
Dancing in the street
You got me, got me,
Dancing in the street
You got me now
Dancing in the street
Oh June
Dancing in the street


WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON?

One empty place
At a table for two
Our agent in Rome
A cafe Rendez-Vous
The seat is soon taken
A contact is made
Surveyed by another
Whose secret is safe
 
Whose side are you on?
Whose side are you on?
Whose side are you on?
Whose side are you on?
 
The gun reinforced
The coffee was drugged
The waiter makes an offering
The microdot
You don't have to believe
To play that double cross
Spying for the side
That pays them the most
 
Whose side are you on?
Whose side are you on?
Whose side are you on?
Whose side are you on?
 
Who's that someone on the inside
An undercover mole
Too late to use a lie detector
Now some heads will roll
So let them roll
 
Whose side are you on?
Whose side are you on?
Whose side are you on?
Whose side are you on?


SAY IT'S NOT TOO LATE

There's no use pretending
Things are just the same
When here we are now ending
The laughter's turned to pain
I know when I say sorry
Girl, that no apology
Can say how much I love you, mm
How much you really mean to me, yeah
 
*
Say it's not too late
For me to say I'm sorry
For all the hurt
I put you through, yeah
Say I'm not too late
I'm out of my mind with worry
Say it's not too late
 
Say it's not too late for us
Oh yeah
 
Losing to temptation
I was such a fool
'Cause she meant nothing to me
And I'd so much to lose
Every time I saw her
(every time I saw her)
Girl they're mentioning your name
Always there to remind me
No one could ever take your place, no
 
Repeat   *
 
Too late for us
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, oh yeah
 
Don't you know that
Oh if I could you know I would
Turn back the clock
And nothing would happen
I realize you need more time
So girl I'll wait
It's not too late for us
(Say that it's not too late)
I'll be waiting
 
(Say it's not too late) Too late
Girl, you know I'm sorry
For all the hurt
I put you through, oh
(Say it's not too late)
Out of my mind with worry
Say it's not too late
Too late for us
Too late for us
I know I've done you wrong
Not too late, it's not too late
Say it's not too late
