The Chameleons - Second Skin

The Chameleons - Second Skin

One cold damp evening
The world stood still
I watched as i held my breath
A sillhouette i thought i knew
Came through,someone spoke to me
Whispered in my ear
This fantasy's for you
Fantasy's are in this year
My whole life flashed,before my eyes
I thought,what they say is true
I've shed my skin,and my disguise
And cold on the naked eye
Emerged from my cocoon
And a half remebered tune played softly in my head
He said
He turns smiling...and said

I realise a miracle,is due
I dedicate this melody,to you
I realise a miracle,is due
I dedicate this melody,to you
But is this the stuff dreams are made of?
If this is the stuff dreams are made of
No wonder i feel like i'm floating on air
No wonder i feel like i'm floating on air
I realise a miracle,is due
I dedicate this melody,to you
But is this the stuff dreams are made of?
If this is the stuff dreams are made of
No wonder i feel like i'm floating on air
No wonder i feel like i'm floating on air
No wonder i feel like i'm floating on air
Everywhere
Oh, it feels like i'm everywhere
Like when you fail to make the connection,you know vital it is
Oh when something slips through your fingers you know precious it is
And you reach the point when you know
It's only your second skin
It's only your second skin
Someone's banging on my door

This video is ingenious. Props.

@HardonZ Thank you! Actually the main idea was to share this great song here, thinking secondarily at which one picture would be perfect to make companion to it... This room just haunted me. Cheers! :)

[ottov65]

one time i listened to this song 25 times in a row!

[spawnlly]

Well, definitely it's worth it! :)

[postpunkoholic]

I am obsessed with this song!...

[cosmozver]

Best sad song, a cult band!

[nativesspoken]

The Chameleons UK reached into my cavity, grabbed hold and never let go. What a band and what words that make me hope that one day, I will do the same for you! Wahi'

[31makimba]

@ukpunk1 Well, thank you, my friend! Every single facet of this song is perfect and brilliant....I included it in my playlist of my favorite obscure punk/new wave songs. I don't have them in order cuz that's just way too difficult. Several years ago I e-mailed Mark Burgess and told him just how much of a diode I thought he was and I told him my favorite songs were this and In Shreds and he wrote back and said "Really, those are my favorites too." He's a super cool dude and so are you!! Take Care

@31makimba

Most agreed!

Some of the greatest lyrics ever written:

I realize a miracle is due...I dedicate this melody to you...but is this the stuff dreams are made of? If this is the stuff dreams are made of, no wonder I feel like I'm floating on air

When you fail to make the connection, you'll know how vital it is

and when something slips through your fingers, you'll know how precious it is

and you'll reach the point and you'll know it's only your second skin

That's what you call a masterpiece everyone.

I love singing the final part drunk and slurring all the words and being as loud as I possibly can.

[Mommafia]

The best 6 minutes and 50 seconds of my life.

...the best poet in the business...The Chameleons UK, and the world deserved more of each other. I was lucky to find them!

[laendeavor]

One of the most amazing songs ever

[ADXYMOX62]

This band was too far ahead of it's time.......
