The Chameleons Vox - Perfume Garden (Live on KEXP) 

I am 75 yrs old and instantly they became my favorite group of all time in 1995

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..

Wow got be 33yrs later, and still sound just as good as back then. Brilliant!

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.

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 .

Hce poco descubro esta gran banda, me la perdí en los 80 y 90, una maravilla.

These guys are so talented

Qué gran talento The Chameleons!! Mark Burgess adorable!!

The Chameleons !!Made in England!!Wunderbar!!Einzigartig !!Klasse!!

Aguanten los Chameleons, banda completamente infravalorada

Apenas los conocí y dios mío que gran banda son, está canción me parte me pone melancólico

Saw them in San Francisco... the show was perfect. Great band still

One of my favourite bands of all time and one of there best tracks been a fan since Script of the bridge

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

I remember them so vividly ,god i missed listening to them

He sounds like he is sick in this performance. Still solid tho

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

Here's a decent soundboard recording! About time...most videos are pure crap recordings. Please do the band justice and post quality sound shows!

Я хочу слушать эту песню, если случится ядерная война и волна огня и радиации превратит меня в пепел и пыль...

Who's the drummer?

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)

His vocal sounds bad here. Frog in the throat. Great sound.

Music is great, but Mark's voice sounds off.

You can never replicate Dave Fielding. Good try though.

Schade dass Marc hier so heiser ist...endlich mal ne Aufnahme mit vernünftigem Sound!!

Amo❤❤❤❤
