white as a cotton cloud, silence, sea, and sky
innocent as the child, always asking why
i can take you there, i can show you
I can take you there, i'll be there gently catching you as you fall
hearing you when you call, smiling as we climb ... smiling, crocodiling?

Recommendation of the day: The Chameleons, October 6 at the Middle East. Borne out of Manchester in the early 80's, the Chameleons produced three wonderful albums of intricate guitar pop with moody gothic overtones, climaxing with a brilliant but final e.p. in 1987 after the death of their manager. They reunited with the turn of the millenium, playing concerts celebrating their previous glory as well as showcasing several albums worth of new material. I saw them in San Francisco two years ago, nervous as always at the prospect of seeing a beloved band's "reunion tour" ruin their previous highs (I think the only band I've seen avoid this trap was Bauhaus). However, they are still fantastic songwriters with a powerful live act. Check it out.
