said: "I was having a miserable time. I basically ran away to sea." Supported by T Bone Burnett, Costello played stripped-down versions of Goodbye Cruel World tracks, his back catalogue and several covers he had yet to record. The tour was acclaimed for Costello's enthusiastic playing, above average vocal performances and as a lyrical showcase. "Peace in Our Time" was released as a single under the pseudonym the Imposter through Costello's own IMP record label on 15 April 1984. It was his second release under the guise and label following "Pills and Soap" a year prior. However, unlike the politically-led release of that single, Elvis said that for the release of "Peace in Our Time": "It's just a song I wanted out right now for reasons I think will be obvious when you hear it." Backed by a rendition of Richard and Linda Thompson's 1973 folk song "Withered and Died", the single reached number 48 in the UK. Melody Maker named it their single of the week, and Costello performed it on NBC's The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson in the US, although the performance was belittled by the studio audience. Following his solo tour, Costello reunited with the Attractions for dates in New Zealand, Australia and Japan. By early June 1984, both his marriage and affair with Buell fell apart. The same month, "I Wanna Be Loved" was released as the first single, backed by "Turning the Town Red". It was supported by a music video shot in Australia during May. Featuring Costello alone, slumped in a photo booth whispering the song's lyrics as several men and women enter the shot to kiss him, Costello believed it was one of the only instances where a song of his was improved by the video. During a performance of the single on BBC's Top of the Pops, he and the Attractions were banned from the programme after Pete Thomas mimed to a drum fill on his head, revealing they were not actually playing live. Released on 18 June 1984 through F-Beat in the UK and Columbia Records in the US, Goodbye Cruel World sold poorly, reaching number 10 on the UK Albums Chart and number 35 on Billboard Top 200 Albums chart in the US. Elsewhere, the album charted at number 20 in Sweden, 32 in New Zealand, 52 in Japan and 53 in Australia. Costello himself presented no enthusiasm upon
