Chris Chambers Lyrics
it sickens me to see the photograph in front of me
carnation couloured pink stand aside and take a drink
night club another scene 31st its halloween
slave to each new trend up town junkies push again
the lovers and the wannabe's they don't know how
the radio's and the tv they don't know how
the newspaper story reads they don't know how
cheap girl magazine they don't know how
stand aside and cry never wonder why
ask themselves why the river has dried
laughter after three shaped up to be free
number one the most missed chart
must have broke a thousand hearts
parallel with the scene tarnished star evergreen
lived life disguised
the lovers and the wannabe's they don't know how
the radio's and the tv they don't know how
the newspaper story reads they don't know how
cheap girl magazine they don't know how
stand around and cry and never wonder why
ask themselves why the river has dried
hoo hoo hoo hoo
hoo hoo hoo hoo
hoo hoo hoo hoo
carnation couloured pink stand aside and take a drink
night club another scene 31st its halloween
slave to each new trend up town junkies push again
the lovers and the wannabe's they don't know how
the radio's and the tv they don't know how
the newspaper story reads they don't know how
cheap girl magazine they don't know how
stand aside and cry never wonder why
ask themselves why the river has dried
laughter after three shaped up to be free
number one the most missed chart
must have broke a thousand hearts
parallel with the scene tarnished star evergreen
lived life disguised
the lovers and the wannabe's they don't know how
the radio's and the tv they don't know how
the newspaper story reads they don't know how
cheap girl magazine they don't know how
stand around and cry and never wonder why
ask themselves why the river has dried
hoo hoo hoo hoo
hoo hoo hoo hoo
hoo hoo hoo hoo

is the title of the song not "coal Chambers" ?? i few ppl i tlked to thought it was chris chambers to. or maybe i'm rong but in the phonics book "high times and headlines" it seys coal chambers ???????? hmmmmm curious....
I always thought this song was about River Phoenix and his death. The like "ask themselves why the river has dried" kinda gave me this feeling and plus Chris Chambers was his charater name in Stand By Me.
Yes, it's about River Phoenix.
Thought so. Cool! I was just thinking that the line "suck my banana" in Doorman reminded me of Stand By Me when the kid says "you can suck my fat one." Obviously they have some kind of stand by me thing going down.
yep it's about River 'night club another scene 31st its halloween ' he died at the vipers club halloween morning the photograph might reference the picture that was taken of his rearanged body RIP River x
