Cool Chameleon

Pick a colour – any colour…

Cool Chameleon        
Lyrics by Mick Evans    

I’m not fish - I’m not flesh
I’m not one thing baby
one day to the next - 
switching colours - ice-white lies      
might help you find yourself
then trick those trusting eyes        

See me now? - nothin’ inside
just looking for a place to hide

Cool Chameleon
Cool Chameleon
I’m here
but just as soon be gone - 
Cool Chameleon
Cool Chameleon
I look like everything
when I ain’t got nothing on -
Cool Chameleon

I don’t love - I don’t hate
care-free kaleidoscope
playing tricks on fate -              
changing faces - let’s pretend
bitter-sweet illusions
I’m no fairytale end

See me now? - nothin’ inside
just looking for a place to hide

Cool Chameleon
Cool Chameleon
I’m here
but just as soon be gone - 
Cool Chameleon
Cool Chameleon
I look like everything
when I ain’t got nothing on -
Cool Chameleon

Future looks so lame  
got no skin in the game -        
I’d cry out to you Girl
if only - I could remember - your name
wish I could remember your name

Cool Chameleon
Cool Chameleon
I’m here
but just as soon be gone - 
Cool Chameleon
Cool Chameleon
I look like everything
when I ain’t got nothing on -
Cool Chameleon

Everybody Says It’s So

If everybody tells a lie – does the lie come true?

Everybody Says It's So
Lyrics by Mick Evans

He ate a crow - beak ‘n’ all
kept the claws - to make a pocket comb
stuffed the feathers - in his mattress
white eyes for cuff-links set in precious stones
                                
If everybody tells a lie - does the lie come true?

Yeh everybody says it’s so  
we all heard - they all say
who cares that nobody knows?
Yeh everybody says it’s so
graffiti - clear as day  
who cares that nobody knows?
coz everybody says it’s so

He ate a crow - cooked real slow
puppy jam - n’ old Ford motor oil
ate it naked - in Sunday School
holy water made his goat skin boil

If everybody tells a lie - does the lie come true?

Yeh everybody says it’s so
we all heard - they all say
who cares that nobody knows?
Yeh everybody says it’s so
graffiti - clear as day  
who cares that nobody knows?
coz everybody says it’s so

Us Good Folk gotta stick together              
world’s full of witches and devils -
thieves ‘n’ killers - dark spirits
wide-eyed aliens from warring planets - 
yeh, Good Folk gotta stick together        

Yeh everybody says it’s so
we all heard - they all say
who cares that nobody knows?
Yeh everybody says it’s so
graffiti - clear as day  
who cares that nobody knows?
coz everybody says it’s so

Nothing Can Save Me Now

You know you had it - you know you lost it. And there’s nothing you can do about it… 
except drink responsibly.

Nothing Can Save Me Now
Lyrics by Mick Evans

Pour me out my - holy water
pour my heart out - on the floor  
I have seen my sweet Nirvana
now I’m blinded ever more

All I wanted - you have taken
all I searched for - you have found     
all that truth smiles - from the gutter
all your hope lies in the ground 

Nothing can save me now
you let me in - let me deceive me
said nothing when I was wrong - 
let me hang - judge and jury  
I’ve paid the price - for what you’ve done  -     
you broke every solemn vow
no nothing can save me now

nothing can save me now

Yeh I’m sinking - where I’m standing
I am falling - as I run  
now we’re ending - without starting
the finish line - has just begun

Nothing can save me now
you let me in - let me deceive me
said nothing when I was wrong - 
let me hang - judge and jury  
I’ve paid the price - for what you’ve done  -     
you broke every solemn vow
no nothing can save me now 

nothing can save me now

Nobody - can reach out and touch me
nobody’s gonna set me free

Nothing can save me now
you let me in - let me deceive me
said nothing when I was wrong - 
let me hang - judge and jury  
I’ve paid the price - for what you’ve done  -     
you broke every solemn vow
no nothing can save me now

nothing can save me now
