Lyrics:
As High As You Can Go - The Chameleons
Out of tune boys, out of tune boys
Signposts to the sun
Single file boys, single file boys
Signposts to the sun
High as you can go
Lennon to Munroe
Claw their way to the stars
High as you can go
Lennon to Munroe
Clawed their way to the stars
I think they knew
And I don't care who you are
Just sign the line
And away you fly
Unexpectedly rejected
Safety for the few
Same excuses resurrected
None of them are true
High as you can go
Grace Kelly to Garbo
Clawed their way to the stars
High as you can go
Grace Kelly to Garbo
Clawed their way to the stars
I think they knew
No I don't care who you are
Just sign the line and away you fly
Take a chance and join the dance
And you can make the sound
Take a chance and join the dance
And we can go to ground
Go to ground
And I don't care who you are
Just sign the line and away you fly
Songwriters: David Fielding / John Lever / Mark Burgess / Reginald Hope Smithies

Drummer's configuration is one of the most strange things I've seen in my entire life. The way the hi hat and ride are positioned, the bass drums. Don't know how he learnt to play like that (was he left handed or something?). Anyway, always loved his sound, powerful guy hitting the heads.

It's not his kit.
@lastoftheurgents1965 11 ай бұрын
I dont know if he was left handed but his drum set up has the air of someone who was self taught and thought it will be easier for me to have the kit this way
@Chordrider 5 ай бұрын
Seem to remember reading somewhere that he was left *footed*? Yes, they all play borrowed kit here. Easily my favourite post punk band.

Oh, my gosh, this is fantastic. Who cares if it is lip-synched. Lip-synched Chameleons is a million times better than live every other band. Interesting gear the boys are using here. Burns bass and a Danelectro Long Horn? That stuff makes the Micro-Fret seem like an ordinary Fender.

You say ' Lip-synched Chameleons is a million times better than live every other band.' As much as I like The Chameleons, be realistic and don't talk shite.

@@thesound-chameleonman3580 Uhh, no. First off, it's the single version, not the "Script of the Bridge" version. Just listen to the muted strings intro and there's no "take a chance and join the dance" lyrics at the middle eight in this, the single, version. Secondly, he's not singing along, it is lip-synched! My god, you can't see and hear that?

Thanks for that info; I didn't realise! Possibly due to some musician union rules? I know the BBC and Top of the Pops got into silly situations with rerecording rules and live performances.

It was common back then probably for ease of production as you only had to have them in your studio once for filming and could have them record the audio anywhere. They kinda tried to make it seem live here while there were other bands like The Smiths who overacted ridiculously on purpose during filming to make it clear it's not live.
