I am 75 yrs old and instantly they became my favorite group of all time in 1995
...I never really dwelled on Lyrics until I heard Mark. He is forceful, honest, speaks to the ironies of life and courage to "hang on".. And lyrics, Iike, "A half forgotten dream waits softly in my head. " stick with you. Genius.
I'm almost 60 and I can totally understand you - Best band Ever
Es una banda maravillosa ❤
Way to go pops. 😊
Mark is a great musician and individual too.. he signed my vinyl and sent me a postcard too, top bloke. Script of the bridge is a masterpiece..
Chameleons Vox still great, especially in his voice range. Check the loving innocence of Denim and Curls, and Perfume Garden. Respect for questioning youth, love and loss. Above all, Mark is a good guy.
Until Mark started singing I thought this was the studio version. Few bands are able to replicate their studio sounds without trickery but The Chameleons have. Brilliant performance, raspy voice and all.
Wow got be 33yrs later, and still sound just as good as back then. Brilliant!
The playing is almost as good. His voice is shot though
@@trentrez6643 He was sick, if you got watch their other recent live shows he sounds pretty good for his age!
a very underrated treasure of the 80s.
Excellent performance and much respect to the guitarists who nailed Smithies and Fielding's sound to a tee.....loved this..
i get shivers listening to this . So many great memories revolving around this music .
absolutely ❤️ 💯 ❤️ 💯 ❤️ 💯 ❤️ 💯 😊
These guys are so talented
Aguanten los Chameleons, banda completamente infravalorada
Hce poco descubro esta gran banda, me la perdí en los 80 y 90, una maravilla.
Saw them in San Francisco... the show was perfect. Great band still
Qué gran talento The Chameleons!! Mark Burgess adorable!!
The Chameleons !!Made in England!!Wunderbar!!Einzigartig !!Klasse!!
Apenas los conocí y dios mío que gran banda son, está canción me parte me pone melancólico
Los tres albumes de los 80 son geniales. Postpunkdreampop. Todo en una gran banda
goosebumps @2.11...ever grateful fan from the Philippines

Fantastic music!!! Made by the sons of the true gothic rock!!!
Amazing sound,it has always been my fav chameleons song.Os esperamos en Benidorm.
RIP John Lever!
Lyrics:
You can shake your hips
You can seal your lips
I can't make that trip
And all life's fears
Can invade my ears
I can handle it
I can laugh with a friend
And remember the faces
We wore at school
Making the madness
And solitary sadness
A friendly fool
I thought of stories
They told us long ago
Of how the world was a perfume garden
I haven't yet learned to tame the creature there
And that at least I think is something good
All across the town
And across the street
You could feel the heat
Let me tell you friend
They could hardly wait
To mark your sheet
It was maximum joy
For the men they employed
To hold you down
Well I hope now you know
That this isn't the bliss
That you thought you found
Endless emptiness
An endless ringing bell
I couldn't show you
But I hope to one day
Pretty promises to teach the tender child
To welcome madness every Monday
Beck and call
It didn't seem to matter at all
Beck and call
You told us how to conquer it all
Beck and call
These children have nothing at all
Listening hard
For the voice of the child
I thought I heard
An alarm bell ringing
Pulled from my sleep
By invisible hands
The distant sound of a lady singing
01:12 ??
A mantra equal to "Fear is the mind killer ..."
beatiful! dreamy music that got right in the feels!
Neil Dwerryhouse and Chris Oliver sure are channeling Dave and Reg here!

Inmortales !!!!

A lot of strain on his vocals now but i actually like the raspiness to certain extent
He was sick that day, but still went out and performed. And his raspy vocals add an extra layer to an already great song
Fave

How does this only have 14k views? Whaaaaaa???
Fantastic!
Grandiosa banda
He sounds like he is sick in this performance. Still solid tho
Yes, I remember they played Portland the following night, but he pushed through like a true rock star.
Pero que grandes... Psicodelia pura
bellissima,,,,,,
Lo mejor
Here's a decent soundboard recording! About time...most videos are pure crap recordings. Please do the band justice and post quality sound shows!
Wow
do if i want to follow this band what is the name i look for? in the 80s they were the chameleons im slightly confused what they are called now
You might see Mark going by the name of Chameleons Vox to show they are not quite the original line-up but just play the albums by The Chameleons and enjoy. So many bands ripped them off and had the success The Chameleons never had.
Я хочу слушать эту песню, если случится ядерная война и волна огня и радиации превратит меня в пепел и пыль...
The Chameleons - Perfume Garden
You can seal your lips, you can shake your hips
I can make that trip
And all life's fears could invade my ears
I can handle it
I can call on a friend, I can laugh with a friend
That I've known from school
And I saw him before work but still not discovered
The golden rule
I thought of stories I heard from long ago
As I live in a perfume garden
I have not yet learned to tame the creature there
I think I might be onto something
All across the town and across the street
You can feel the heat
Let me tell you friend, they can hardly wait
To mark your sheet
There was maximum joy for the men they employed
To hold you down
And I hope now you know that this isn't the bliss
That you thought you'd found
I thought of stories I heard from long ago
Meant for my ears and no one else's
I haven't yet learned to tame the creature there
I think I might be onto something
I think I might be onto something
Listening hard for the voice of a child
I thought I heard an alarm bell ringing
Pulled from my sleep by invisible hands
The lady dances, the lady's singing
I see their faces come into the light
A carpet of light that they wrap around me
I had the good sense to mind my time
From here on end, we must move more slowly
You can seal your lips, you can shake your hips
I can make that trip
And all life's fears could invade my ears
I can handle it
I can call on a friend, I can laugh with the friends
That I've known from school
And I saw him before work but still not discovered
The golden rule
Listen hard for the voice of the child
And you may hear an alarm bell ringing
Pulled from your sleep by invisible hands
The distant sound of a lady singing
lyrics to be taught at school
Funny how they all use cheap instruments, nice instrumental sound even though you can't hear the bass at all (in my headphones at least)
+lptomtom That's how these sounds were first crafted. Get the most from cheap instruments. Pedals and delay units were another story though...
Nirvana always use cheap stuff and yet was fucking good, same here
Im 20 years old, and i just find out this guys, fucking good
Who's the drummer?
His vocal sounds bad here. Frog in the throat. Great sound.
You can never replicate Dave Fielding. Good try though.
Music is great, but Mark's voice sounds off.
Like a cold
Schade dass Marc hier so heiser ist...endlich mal ne Aufnahme mit vernünftigem Sound!!
Amo❤❤❤❤
