It
is the third in a loose trilogy that began with Swordfishtrombones.
Subtitled "Un Operachi Romantico in Two Acts", the album contains songs
written by Waits and collaborators (mainly his wife, Kathleen Brennan)
for a play of the same name. The play had its world premiere at the
Briar St. Theatre in Chicago, Illinois, on June 22, 1986, performed by
the Steppenwolf Theatre Company. "If I Have to Go" was used in the play,
but released only in 2006 on Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards.
The theme from "If I Have to Go" was used under the title "Rat's Theme"
in the documentary Streetwise as early as 1984. The title is derived
from "Frank's Wild Years", a track from Swordfishtrombones.
"This
rags-to-rags tale completes the trilogy that began with 1983's
Swordfishtrombones (featuring the song 'Frank's Wild Years,' in which
the protagonist torches his suburban SoCal house and heads north on the
Hollywood Freeway). Then came 1985's Rain Dogs, which mixed Brecht-Weill
drama with Captain Beefheart bizarreness for an effect that conjured up
a Saturday-night fish fry in the freak show of a decrepit circus... The
story basically follows Frank on a hazy, ill-fated Orphic journey
'Straight to the Top (Vegas)' (as one song is titled) through
'Temptation,' 'Way Down in the Hole' and, finally, out on the 'Cold Cold
Ground.' At the road's end lies 'Innocent When You Dream (78),' a moral
that is told to Frank early on but doesn't hit home until the end, when
it is heard in a lovely, tinnily nostalgic rendition.
