Dance With The Devil

from IN PLAIN SIGHT by Chris Fox

/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    IN PLAIN SIGHT is the eagerly awaited new album release from singer songwriter Chris Fox. With plenty of time on his hands during the lockdown of 2020 he wrote this album with the express intention of not writing about himself or his feelings. So, he sat down and diligently wrote a collection of songs…… all about himself and his feelings. Here you will find ten original songs painted on a musical backdrop of Folk and Roots, Americana, Country, Blues and contemporary Transatlantic Folk. Musical Influences (to name a few) range from the Mavericks, Paul Simon, John Martyn, Transatlantic Sessions and Willie Nelson. The album features Holly Brandon on fiddle (The Magpies, Painted Sky) and John Parker on Double Bass (Nizlopi, The Willows, Jackie Oates) and was produced and recorded by Dan Wilde at Gladeside Recordings. This album reflects the thoughts, fears and joys of the everyday inspired by a multitude of events and characters that activate his surreal and somewhat feverish imagination.

about

I once witnessed somebody engulf enough hallucinogens to fly to Saturn and stay there, his parting statement “If you’re gonna dance with the devil, you might as well lead”. As someone who dare not move past the realms of decaf beverages this stunt was mind boggling. This song is dedicated to all the agents of chaos, long may they test the boundaries.

lyrics

If you’re gonna dance with the devil you might as well lead
throw away those thing you’ve been led to believe
if you’re gonna walk on ice come on and walk with me
I sing to hell with the rules lets see what you can achieve

So you played it safe and you wound up hurt
you tried to douse the flames and wound up with your fingers burnt
you tried to live and let live with all your regrets
and now your tangled and trapped, locked inside your safety net
you kept on smiling and you played the fool
given the choice it was the easiest of things to do
Don’t be hard on yourself its better the devil you know

But the truth is you’ve been lied to
I don't know how they hypnotised you
its time to change your fortune lets begin

If you’re gonna dance with the devil you might as well lead
throw away those thing you’ve been led to believe
if you’re gonna walk on ice come on and walk with me
I sing to hell with the rules lets see what you can achieve


Cos the truth is you’ve been lied to
I don't know how they hypnotised you
its time to change your fortune lets begin


If you’re gonna dance with the devil you might as well lead
(you might as well lead)
throw away those thing you’ve been led to believe
(throw away those things)
if you’re gonna walk on ice come on and walk with me
i sing to hell with the rules and see what you can achieve
i sing to hell with the rules ………..lets see what you can achieve
