Inside Out Lyrics

Love and laughter fills his life today
Dragged into this world and thrown away
She never wanted you, better things to do
You won't remember...
Drawn to the door, whizzing through the week,
Dancing round the fire with the rest of the freaks

Oh no, no, things are different now
Don't let these days of doubt
Turn him inside out

His second mother holds him to her breast
She sees her children come and go
Ripping the heart from her
All of them part of her
And some will remember...
Time heals all wounds they say
She can't let them take her boy away

This son, oh, she would die without
Don't let these days of doubt
Turn her inside out

When she was young, the world was a different place...
After all

And his heart is in his home
There helplessly waiting for someone to smash his world to pieces
Ignorant and cruel,
Social student fools,
Pull him to the right, pull him to the left,
Pull him by the arms, pull him by the legs
Let go

Oh, things are different now...
Don't let these days of doubt
Turn them inside out

When you were young, they wore a different face
When she was young, the world was a different place
When you were young, they wore a different smile

THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG FROM THE ALBUM

To me, this song is about a young baby who is given up and then adopted by a loving foster parent, and the emotional complexities involved in that new relationship - and the fierce determination of the foster parent to make things work in the face of uncaring system

Baffling that The Chameleons never made it bigger when they could make songs like this one.

@uberpsycho Yeah this is a great one. They had some power pop things that just never caught on to a wide audience. Going to see them at the end of the month.
