Coming In for the Kill

Coming In for the Kill is the second and last album by British pop duo Climie Fisher, released in October 1989. The album was less successful than its predecessor Everything, peaking at #35 in the United Kingdom. The track "Facts of Love" would later be covered by Christian pop singer, Kim Boyce three years later on her 1992 album of the same name.

In 2009 the record company Edsel re-released and remastered both Climie Fisher albums, and included all the original b-sides, with the notable exception of the original version of "Love Like a River".
