The Colour Field - Armchair Theatre

Encantadora, hermosa, fantastica,,, en realidad sin palabras para genial canción...

Armchair Theatre

i'm sitting on the fence again
drawing straws and pulling strings
demonstrations pass me by
this must be the age of something
a time where each prediction
makes me feel like going to the beach
a time when men of wisdom
never seem to practice what they preach
behind each reason there's a lie
behind each answer lies a cheat
well you can take me for a ride
but only if i get the window seat
colour me creep

the coldness of your power chills my soul
you're more than welcome to your throne
but when you're playing god leave me alone
you've spent fortunes on houses that haven't been built
then offer excuses to cover your guilt
but i don't want the earth and all that it's worth
you get on my nerves
i'm getting very bored indeed
with your false passion and your greed
get me the next train out of town
take me away from this maddening crowd
and colour me gone

just before the revolution starts
you'll find out what they really are
i hear their anthems play
as nasty things go whistling through the air
although it breaks our hearts
to see the world just fall apart
sit and rest beneath the shooting stars
so let's exchange our loving kiss
the winter storms are drawing near
if they destroy our every bliss
we can wait until the clouds have disappeared
the fires will burn i'm dreaming of you
but when they return they'll colour me blue

i could be the one thing there
in your our of need
so if you decide to change your views
i'm thinking of you

@RudeGirlMargie Well I got the Cd's yesterday & I just stopped playing them, LOL!!! The remastering is great & I'm hearing stuff on songs that weren't detectable before. But there was 3 disappointments. The little intro part to "Faint Hearts" was left off, as it was on the U.S. CD release. The single version of "Castles In The Air" isn't there. And although Deception has "Things Could Be Beautiful" & "Frosty Mornings" they left the 2 live tracks off, that were on that EP.

@NickCave13 Hey NC13, cool about the CF re-release score! I didn't see the actual Fallon show, but saw the clip on Facebook, posted on a page you might want to check out: Slicing Up Eyeballs - the Legacy of 80s College Rock. Still hoping for a nearby Specials tour date!

[NickCave13]

@RudeGirlMargie Did you see the Specials on Jimmy Fallon? I finally ordered both Colourfield re-releases today, got em both new for $25 total, what a deal!!!

I adore Terry Hall, but this song reminds me of Aztec Camera. Not that that's a bad thing. I adore Roddy Frame too. Did they know each other around V&P, Love time???

[RudeGirlMargie]

I've admittedly done a lot of stupid things in my life. But at least I'm not so idiotic as to antagonize Al Jourgensen.

Hang in there NickCave13 of NW Arkansas.... thankfully there's YouTube!

[NickCave13]

@RudeGirlMargie No it wasn't me but you can see most of the incident here on YT. Type in Ministry Fight and it will be the second video down. My chat with the videographer in the comments section, explains more. The spitter was dragged away but you can't see that.

[NickCave13]

The big ouch occurred in 86, when I found out that The Colourfield performed at a Huntington Beach, CA club called The Golden Bear, in 85. It was a small roadhouse type place, that didn't have a bad seat. Very tragic, as it was a 7 mile trip from my home. I live in a small NW Arkansas town now and you have to travel some to see anyone good. I did see Ministry in Springfield, MO in 2003. It was a tiny place and Al J. dove into the crowd, to punch up a spitter. Glad you saw The Beat, WH'APPEN?!

[RudeGirlMargie]

Thanks - I'll be on the lookout for new Specials dates. Did see English Beat this past June, and Wakeling's voice was as great as ever. (Ouch about those reunion gigs *after* you left...)

Here's to great music rude boy!

[NickCave13]

There are dates for Calif. and N.Y. for sure and I think they said more, may be added. It seems since I left S. Calif. 15 years ago, that every band that seemed impossible for reuniting, has played there. Bauhaus, The Cult, Bow Wow Wow and Dave Wakeling lives 15 miles from where I used to live!

[RudeGirlMargie]

I had meant to thank you in my first message for the heads-up on Virgins & Philistines being re-released - Yes, I knew about the Specials reunion tour, but last I'd checked there weren't any dates listed in the States. Dare I go look again...? Will mark 4/13 on the calendar at least. Don't let that parka outta your sight!
