First of all "Second Skin" is one of my all time favorite songs ! I discovered a Chameleons acoustic cd titled "This Never Ending Now" with "Second Skin" on it. WOW what a fantastic version ! This one is their best.I know of three studio recordings.Which version do you like ?
From:
Script of the Bridge
Tripping Dogs
This Never Ending Now

"One cold damp evening
The world stood still
I watched as I held my breath
A silhouette I thought I knew
Came through
And someone spoke to me

Jfiber,
Thanks for replying.Of all the post to read--yours here is one of the most interesting.I could only wish that my wife shared the same passion for this music--she see's nothing in it at all and frankly does not understand it.Might seem barbaric

One of my most favorite memories is when Mark Burgess played at The Whiskey in Hollywood in, like, 1993 (or something). It was the first time Mark had played in the US since The Chameleons split (who I didn't get to see - back then). When he started playi

I wish someone would write a biography about these guys. They have been my favorite bands for a long while and I know very little about them other than there recordings. I have no idea what their personalities are like, etc.
