Edwards, Kathleen - Chameleon / Comedian Lyrics






I know your heart
It is a sacred thing
And you're a comedian
You hide behind your funny face
Every time, every time

Out of the shadows
Out of the cameras and the lights
You're a chameleon
And you hide behind your darker side

Every time, every time
I don't need a punchline
Don't need a punchline

Everybody's watching
The way that I see you could not change
I'll be your medium
For everything you wanted to say
'Cause out of the shadows
Out of the cameras and the lights
I'm a chameleon
I just hide behind the songs I write

See me smile
It's not for a funny joke
See me smile
It's not for a funny joke
It's for...

Every time, every time
I don't need a...
Don't need a punchline
Every time, every time
I don't need a punchline

See me smile
It's not for a funny joke
See me smile
It's not for a funny joke
It's for...

Every time, every time
I don't need a punchline
Don't need a punchline
Every time, every time
I don't need a punchline
Don't need a punchline

Every time, every time
I don't need a punchline
(I don't need, I don't need, I don't need)

Every time, every time

Edwards, Kathleen Chameleon / Comedian Comments
  1. J.... B....

    This song is for about everyone on the planet earth. Love you Kath!

  2. R.... S....

    The timing of the skill saw blade hitting a few seconds after 3:40 is the best!

  3. M.... R....

    This song is so beautiful

    M.... R....

    I love all of her music. Stories about her life too.

  4. B.... ....

    Grey's anatomy, Love, loss and legacy

  5. R.... S....

    Still love the street scene with all the kids dressed up as cats at 2:38

  6. S.... S....

    IDK if I should enjoy this, but I did...

  7. R.... S....

    I've watched this video about 100 times I bet.

  8. T.... M....

    An allegory (appropriate word) for a time of trouble.... and perhaps redemption in the end. Such a great talent.

  9. c.... ....

    Shame label, vid director, wardrobe, et that let this vid garbage live on. KE's such a talent and this type of production shames her work.

    c.... ....

    Awesome video I think.

  10. p.... e....

    Wonderful smiles through-out this video
    Awesome indeed - beautifully painful song (and video)
    Shocker to get that blood out !
    Canadian wonder

  11. a.... ....

    Dammit Kathleen come back!!!!✌👏❤

    a.... ....

    Really! Its been since 2012.
    Getting famous has to suck in ways. No more of the just being a face in the crowd. Maybe that's why we hear of just the rare appearances across Canada. Her last album ratings was her best. Peaked at #2 on the Canadian charts. Hope she's not worried about trying to top that. Or worse yet, a new album that sucks.

    She can't make bad music.
    Please come back Kitty.

  12. D.... ....

    MAJORKOOL !!!!

  13. M.... L....

    Love her songs...but she had better put that blouse to soak.

  14. S.... M....

    that blouse is ruined...just sayin'

  15. L.... W....

    Wow, bad day.

  16. K.... N....

    Great video, songwriting and that voice!

  18. T.... F....

    torontoooooooooooo

  19. g.... ....

    Love the song, all of her albums & the dark humour & even met her a couple of years ago... It's everything I would expect from Kathleen... Top Draw!!!!

    g.... ....

    I'm jealous!

  20. K.... N....

    Kathleen❤

  21. n.... ....

    "The fork with the torque."

    You gotta get a pretty good running go at it to get those eating utensils properly jammed in.  Would like to have seen (as long as we're getting really goofy with this) about a five-foot long missile sticking out of her at the end.

    But a decent showcase I guess for her great legs and thighs.  Yeah, her flesh is just luscious from head to toe.  Much lust.

    This song...unfortunately, totally forgettable.  So we'll just forget this one and concentrate on the wonderful tunes she's written and performed.

  22. p.... ....

    Fail!!! This is not funny. Way too violent even if in jest. Running gags like this get boring after the second knife is thrown.

    p.... ....

    @panther105 I think you're missing the point. It isn't supposed to be a gag; it's about self-loathing.

    p.... ....

    Man! I don't even remember commenting on this video....Damn!! It's happening too early.....

    p.... ....

    Ha Ha!  You too?  Gets us all in the end!!!!

  23. J.... B....

    Talented, gorgeous and a (slightly dark) sense of humor. Gotta love Kathleen.

  24. J.... D....

    And Canadian's seem so nice. I see they are resilient! Good thing they have National Health!
    Interesting song and video.

    J.... D....

    *Canadians (Why would you put an apostrophe?)

  25. A.... B....

    beautiful.

  26. W.... O....

    I've listened to this song with my eyes closed over and over....then I just had to go and watch this video.....yikes. Why did I do that?

  27. A.... G....

    I think this video/song is about being stabbed in the back and being hurt by people who you think you know but are actually "chameleons" changing to whatever is around them. And also about people who think it's funny to hurt people.. so by the literal stabbed and graphic depiction of the lyrics I think this is a perfect video for the meaning I take from the song?? Anyone else see/hear what I do?

    A.... G....

    Arianna Gardow I'm shocked that no one commented yet after 4 plus years.

    Read reviews of this album and all of them say the same thing.....it's the album of her break up with Colin Crisp. Everyone plays a chameleon in life to some degree. Getting that person to drop the defense is I believe impossible in life nowadays.

    This all being said, I'm guessing she tried to crack his defenses to make the relationship work. Notice in the video that after every injury she endures, she gives that smile that to me says " what the fuck? Are we still doing this?"

    I've sent this video to friends and most don't get it. But then people I know hated the last episode of Quantum Leap, so what do they really know?

    On a brighter note, I liked the kids and Kitty all dancing. I think that's her way of saying "I'm still happy"

    I've only discovered her music in the past year or so, even though I heard Back to me when it was released. Her music is like water in a desert.....you finally find water and drink it all up, then it's back to a void.

    If she never releases another album I'll consider myself lucky.

  28. J.... F....

    What was the budget for this video?.. lol

  29. V.... S....

    I want to get married to one guy and for once to be able to depend on him.

  30. t.... ....

    Great teeth...

  31. k.... ....

    Song is amazing but the video is too weird!

  32. B.... F....

    So... a few hundred metal heads and emo kids, who don't care about her music, are gonna pass this vid around and snicker amongst themselves.. while 99% of her actual fan base are left going "uh.... wtf? O.o". I'd like to say this is the epitome of what "indie" music is all about; self expression, but this goes so far as to suggest that she doesn't even care about her career. Maybe she's like "I had Bon Iver... but I lost him. Fuck everything. I'm living on whims now."

  33. c.... ....

    Kathleen is so talented, I don't quite understand the video unless it means she feels like everyone is taking shots at her?

  34. l.... ....

    is it really important to tell everyone how much you dislike this video?

    maybe you don't understand the artistic concept behind it? or how it relates to the actual story that lead to this song?

    great song!!!

    l.... ....

    I can't go a week without this song. Video rules too like all of her videos.

  35. A.... R....

    This video changed the way I see her. Like, I still love her to death, but this video is just so..... ridiculous.

  36. H.... ....

    No Kitty was harmed in the making of this video, I hope!. Great song, and one to which I can relate (in a certain sense).

  37. T.... L....

    i love this song, I love her, but this video is ridiculous.

  38. Q.... ....

    Really like this

  39. H.... ....

    Goddamn, this woman is sexy.

  40. b.... ....

    Kathleen is beyond amazing. Stunning!

  41. J.... S....

    God I want to kiss her so badly.

  42. D.... M....

    or not

  43. A.... A....

    Wow. There's a subtle point here... but what is it?

  44. t.... ....

    Okay, the picnic basket utensil attack in the park seals the deal ROFLM@O :)

  45. a.... ....

    The creativity just keeps.....flowing

    TheRumRunner

  46. i.... ....

    L.... H....

    I wonder if that gal whose utensils take off flying is a friend or relative.

  54. K.... M....

  55. K.... M....

    i dont like to see the gore on the girl i love, but i syre to luke the smirk on her face that says "Ha!, Really man? Is that, the best you can do?"

  56. M.... M....
