Yes Second Skin is a classic. Note at the end of the song, Mark Burgess sings " Last night I say these words to my girl " from Please please me from...the Beatles. He's a huge fan from Lennon as you maybe know.

Yes I did Adrian, and I thought you were dead?

I'm 16 and God do I wish I was born 30 years earlier. The Chameleons are so underrated it's unreal, while Zane Lowe spews bollocks with his "masterpiece" series (I won't trust him until he plays "3 Feet High and Rising"), their albums get overlooked almost totally by the mainstream media. Where's the justice? It seems to take an untimely suicide for people to wake up to a great band; people never appreciate what we have whilst it's here - and isn't that the message of this song?

My God that guitar intro gives me chills...

Man i love the chameleons but i can bearly here marks bass, which is pretty important to the sound of the song if you ask me.

@BorlandRIP7 Oh man... I cried reading this...

I was 17 years in 1985 and was playing drums in a band in Paris...All the band's members were Chameleons huge fans..This was in 1985..Then 16 years passed , we found jobs , some had kids , some divorced...Suddenly In 2001 , The same band members call each other to see the Chameleons live in ..Paris for a unique show..Ungorgettable moment..We nearly cried at this end........We are now all 42 years old and still listen to this legend band

Liked them for a bit ay the time despite their one dimensionalness.

@WayToSaveTheWorld Thats also what makes them so great...a little secret for those with good taste. They haven't been ruined by mainstream fame..something to be said about that...

[HawK047]

One of their very best songs, even though almost all their songs are great.

The best gig of my entire 38 years on this land - 3 June 2000, yep - even better than the Monday night of the Witchwood reformation gigs, just prior.
