Why Call It Anything - The Chameleons
Shades (The Chameleons)
Pull The Shades Of Grey Together
One day I will move the stone
One day I will move the stone
One day I will take you home
One day I will take you home
If you can pull the shades of grey together
Pull the shades of grey together
If you want to live forever
Let's pull the shades of grey together
Do you know what I mean?
Do you?
One day I will move the stone
One day soon I'll take you home
If you can pull the shades of grey together
Pull the shades of grey together
If you want to live forever
Let's pull the shades of grey together
Together
Get it together
Together <return to top>
Anyone Alive? (The Chameleons)
Bush is back
It's a matter of fact
Bush is back
It's a matter of fact
Spark up a light
Angel it's alright.
Spark up a light.
Angel it's alright.
Oh and you're the light on me
Oh and you're the light on me
And anyone with eyes can see
I am not afraid with you
Anyone with ears to hear
I am not afraid with you
Anyone alive
Can feel the storm clouds gathering
What have you got?
Does it seem like a lot?
What have you got?
Well to some it's a lot
Where do you go?
Well I think I know
Above and beyond the energy flow
Mouth to mouth with the feminine glow
Oh you're the light on me
Yeah pour your light on me.
Anyone with eyes can see
I am not afraid with you.
Anyone with ears to hear
I am not afraid with you
Anyone alive
Can feel the storm clouds gathering in
'Cause anyone with eyes can see
I am not afraid with you
Anyone with ears to hear
I am not afraid with you
Anyone alive can see
I am not afraid of the storm clouds gathering in.
Sing it to the children
I have you. <return to top>
Indiana (The Chameleons)
I see what you see
Yeah I get what you're after
Visions of something
It turns out to be
Shades of Limboland and MTV
Don't rationalise
Your sentence lies so tenderly
She was a girl who could turn you in time
Morons they wanted more, more, more
I saw her lead the dance across the floor
Amongst the flowers and ivory towers of long ago
Hey hey, hey Anja
He, hey, hey Anja
Hey, hey, hey Anja
I see what you are after
You feel it in my laughter I know
I know it's late but I don't want to go.
The fragrance and the radiance and the afterglow.
The afterglow.
I don't want to go.
Hey, hey, hey Anja
Hey, hey, hey Anja
Hey, hey, hey Anja
Oh Anja <return to top>
Lufthansa (The Chameleons)
I'm in a spin
I won't let this darkness in
Turning around
Grinning as I leave the ground
Wanting it all
I'm tearing right through that wall
Once and for all
I'm tearing through that wall
Taking it out
A little rain's going to keep on falling on me
I'm going to keep on calling to you
I'm in a spin
Spinning at the speed of sound
I'm in a spin
Hanging with the lost and found
I'm on fire
rushing on my way to you
I'm on fire
Rushing on my way to you
Checking it out
A little rain's going to keep on falling on me
I'm going to keep on calling to you
I'm on fire
Beside you
I'm on fire <return to top>
Truth Isn't Truth Anymore (The Chameleons)
Notes by Mark - One afternoon John and I were hanging around at Suite Sixteen while the others put guitars down on a demo and we started playing together on a Casio keyboard what became the outro to 'Childhood.' Again I didn't forget it and when the time came I worked it in. I was able once again to get Reg and John to join me on backing vocals. But lyrically nothing was coming until one morning, I awoke beneath the mixing desk as usual and was given an invitation to an old school friends wedding. Being at that time more cynical, I immediately woke up the engineer, wrote the words in five minutes and put down the vocals before the Producer had arrived for work. The air is threatening
His head is a maze
And every little thing
It seems out of place
I dreamt about you last night
Why I don't know
With all the cigarettes
The pills and the shakes
With all the hypocrites
The liars and the fakes
I dreamt about you last night
Why I don't know
And his eyes are in his back
Kept his soul in a sack
And always he comes bouncing back
And truth isn't truth anymore
He's never free of it
Beyond it's command
Beyond the ravenous final demand
I dreamt about you last night
Why I don't know
And his eyes are in his back
Kept his soul in a sack
And always he comes bouncing back
And truth isn't truth anymore
Yeah his eyes are in his back
Kept his soul in a sack
And always he comes bouncing
A white ball bouncing
Back to the busted door
And truth isn't truth anymore
With his heart on his sleeve
And his soul in a sack
I dreamt about you last night
I dreamt about you last night <return to top>
All Around (The Chameleons)
Why do the moonbeams linger when you wake
why do you hold your silence for other people's sake
Why are the worlds within you whirling round
Why does the hand of love pin you to the ground
Is it getting too profound?
The answer is all around you
Yes it's all around you
Yes it's all around you
Inside and out.
Why are the wolves still scratching at the door
Why do the Gods embrace you then throw you to the floor
Why do the joys within you feed the doubt
And why do those who raise you always have to shout
What's it all about?
The answer is all around you
Yes it's all around you
Yes it's all around you
Inside and out
No I'm not weak
No I'm not weak
No I'm not weak
I still have the courage to speak out
All around you
All around you
Yes it's all around you
Day in and day out.
Yes it's all around you
Inside and out
Yes it's all around you
Inside and out
Yes it is <return to top>
Dangerous Land (The Chameleons)
I am the pride at the heart of a man
I am a refuge in a dangerous land
I am a wall or a line in the sand
I am a gathering
I am a stand
Hold, hold me
Well whose going to hold me now?
Not you
I am the daylight when darkness draws near
I am a signal that's heard without ears
I am the rapture and I am the tears
I am a centre regardless of years
Hold me, hold me
Well whose going to hold me now?
Not you. <return to top>
Music In The Womb (The Chameleons)
She played me music in the womb
So I'd learn to talk in tune
She played me music in the womb
So I'd learn to talk in tune
Dreaming of something
Waiting for something
Longing for something
Dreaming of something
They told me stories everyday
So I'd learn to think that way
They told me stories every day
So I'd learn to think that way
She played me music in the womb
She played me music in the womb
Dreaming of something
Dreaming of something <return to top>
Miracles And Wonders (The Chameleons)
So hard to understand
From one day to another you're a different man
Never cease to find it strange
How at midnight things seem hopeless
But by dawn they've changed
Another illusion
Plain to see
Miracles and wonders
Gifts for free
Light up
I'll see you there
As we enter a spirit that is everywhere
Guess I'll never know
How it feels deep inside to have another grow
Creation from fusion
Plain to see
Miracles and wonders
Gifts for free
Another illusion
Plain to see
Miracles and wonders
Gifts for free
If anything can happen then it probably will
If anything can happen then it probably will
