Slade - Run Runaway Lyrics






Hold on!
I like black and white
(Dreaming of black and white)
You like black and white
Run run away

See chameleon
(Lying there in the sun)
All things to everyone
Run run away

If you're in the swing
(Money ain't everything)
If you're in the swing
Run run away

See chameleon
(Lying there in the sun)
All things to everyone
Run run away

If you gotta crush
(Don't beat about the bush)
When I gotta crush
Run run away

See chameleon
(Lying there in the sun)
All things to everyone
Run run away

Oh now can't you wait
(Love don't come on a plate)
Oh now can't you wait
Run run away

See the chameleon
Lying there in the sun
All things to everyone
Run run away

Run run away
Run run away
Run run away

    My first concert was Slade at the Horden Pavilion in Sydney in the early 70's

  14. C.... R....

    I haven't heard this song since the 80's. Glad I found it. I love it.

  15. K.... L....

    I had just returned from living in Scotland for a year when I heard this. Took me right back to one of the best years of my life. That fiddle, reminiscent of bagpipes, and oh, the drums!! Went out and bought the album the next day Thank You!!

  16. J.... D....

    Only trouble with this magnificent song is that its largeness cannot be reproduced live with only the instruments and players you see here, and without many more vocalists.

  17. M.... S....

    If you have a crush,..don’t be an octopus! Honestly that’s what I sang out loud for years!!!! Who cares if it’s wrong?

  18. V.... ....

    3:14 is basically why i like this

  19. J.... N....

    We had great music video shows in the 1980's! Night Flight was my favorite, then Friday Night Video's! MTV actually played music!

  20. M.... W....

    Nod the god 🤩

  21. R.... R....

    Rock on Slade!!!!

  22. B.... B....

    2020 Still Rockin

  23. M.... S....

    Idiots always having to remind us what year they're listening to this song in. Jesus, no one cares. You just comment to try and make yourself feel special. And to pat yourself on the back for listening to a classic song that literally millions of other people are listening to as well.

  24. S.... M....

    They also perform my favorite Christmas song of all time☃️🎁🎄🍬🎅

  25. Q.... ....

    Would love to hear an Irish trad band rock out to this!

    Q.... ....

  26. J.... B....

    Slade playing a SNP party conference! Twats. Snpout

  27. P.... D....

    Oh shit, I have to get back to the Dr Who Marathon.


    *BUT WAIT..*

  28. C.... S....

    Hmm I remember liking this song a lot as a kid

  29. H.... O....

    I was raised in the 80s and I do not remember this what so ever. But I love it, I have me a new song on my playlist! 🤘

  30. 1.... ....

    I think the last time I saw the music video for this song was on MTV in the 80's. It had such a catchy sound.

  31. s.... ....

    2020 and we're still rockin to this!

    s.... ....

    Oh Fck yeah!!

  32. D.... L....

    who's listening to this IN 2020!!!!
    I AM!!!

    D.... L....

    I only found this band in late 2019, but I'll be here for a while! Happy new year and here's to great music that never gets old!

    D.... L....

    Cant beat the nostalgia of the 80s man.. ROCK ON MY FRIENDS

    D.... L....

    ME and I'm fffff'n 50 !!!! woohoo we are the last generation of fucking RIP ROARIN MUSIC !

  33. D.... B....

    Anyone here cause they love Great Big Sea?

  34. D.... ....

    First in 2020 sucka's!

  35. M.... R....

    What a tue xx having served her majesties forces for 20 + years this is one. Song that makes me feel patriotic for no reason as the lyrics are not so. Just a great tune from a great British band and an iconic slate tune xx

  36. H.... G....

    You just have to love a song everyone can sing along with during a concert...this ranks right up there with We Will Rock You by Queen for songs the fans scream out during the band's adrenaline-fueled concerts. They got this one right...just inane lyrics but great fun to sing along to.

  37. O.... C....

    1984 - Whoah - It's Quiet Riot pick with Slade covers. I wonder - They played together (at the same concert or festival , i mean) or not in 80s or later maybe ?

  38. T.... N....

    Still good in 2020.

  39. C.... P....

    Chamelian ‘cuz, all he does is change his shirt.

  40. R.... M....

    The guitaf has to be one of the greatest riff's ever.

  41. K.... Y....

    Time Capsule of the 80s

  42. L.... D....

    Slade is awesome! I'll punch anyone in the nose who disagrees with me, but then I'll buy you a beer after.

  43. J.... ....

    Sweet were already dead while Slade were still rocking living their second successful life!

  44. A.... M....

    Madness

  45. R.... ....

    Good music, but I don't get the weird trying to be funny thing they got going.

  46. R.... M....

    What’s that dude doing with his tongue? Duh!

  47. P.... R....

    Love the drums and everything. That's a huge slimjim

  48. H.... ....

    I've always enjoyed this video back in the MTV days.... the way the guy swirls his tongue back and forth...lol

  49. D.... G....

    All the 'music was better back in the day' folks.. just remember when this came out it was ' Slade using programmed drums wtf is this? , music was much better in the 70's' . Music evolves, this band evolved with the times as well.

  50. S.... ....

    Dad's pist again

  51. v.... ....

    Why was he doing that thing with his tongue in his mouth? What in the actual?

    v.... ....

    I think it's a UK thing, probably gurning and pulling.

  52. M.... G....

    I wonder how many people realize that the song that Quiet Riot is probably most famous for is a cover of a song by Slade?

    M.... G....

    Not sure. My dog doesn't seem to be able to answer that question. Will get back to you if he does

    M.... G....

    Come on feel the noize

  53. F.... B....

    Love Slade! Saw them back in the 70's multiple times. Once they were the warm up band for Pavlov's Dog, a band hailing from the St. Louis area. Slade played. Then Pavlov's Dog came on and they were boo'ed off the stage and Slade came back on and Noddy and the boys tore the house down! Not a person was in their seat! It was amazing!

    F.... B....

    Subscribe to me then. I have Pavlov's dog right here. He says hello

    F.... B....

    I know it's a trained response, but still

    F.... B....

    *booed. Yeah. It's an awkward spelling, but still, no excuse to insert an apostrophe where none is granted

    F.... B....

    *70s, for instance. Do some grammar

  54. T.... G....

    Love these guys but always thought Hill was weird

  55. F.... ....

    Ah, before the Muslim invasion.

  56. t.... ....

    Video with no sound = stupidest thing ever .
    Video with sound = better, but still perplexing.
    Song by itself = amazing.

    t.... ....

    LOL go watch the 1972 performances of Slade,

  57. R.... R....

    Dammmmmm this is such a Good song ....... memories of 84 ring like A bell

    R.... R....

    Ask your doctor if you have tinitus?

  58. R.... N....

    King Sunbetter and the sledge draggers must have been pleased. It was time. And now is the time for more fun.

  59. T.... b....

    Love it BUT could do without the mugging for the camera. It borders on Shatnerian 🙀

  60. E.... R....

    Sorry I disagree with most

    In 1984
    I was listening to Van Halen 1984
    Scorpions
    Dio
    OZZY
    Motley Crew
    Kiss
    ACDC
    Clapton
    Led Zeppelin
    To many others to list

    I am now dumb for listening to this

  61. J.... S....

    Noddy and his guys - unforgettable!

  62. M.... G....

    If you didn't move to this song when it came on the radio you were dead!

  63. D.... F....

    I want to be British RIGHT NOW, or YESTERDAY............dammit. Cannot I be British...

  64. J.... M....

    My all time favorite song by slade the hottest rock band

  65. E.... J....

    I remember this.
    Slade had gone into complete obscurity. None of the kids ever heard of them.
    Out of the blue, this song becomes a big hit.
    Then, right back into obscurity, never to be heard of again.

    E.... J....

    Not exactly true. Both Quiet Riot and Twisted Sister covered Slade hits to fame and fortune.

    E.... J....

    @TedAnt A That does not help Slade stay relevant one bit.

    E.... J....

    @Erik Johansson Its not exactly false either. ;)

  66. R.... ....

    Another band that should've stayed together.

  67. S.... L....

    Hell yeah

  68. H.... ....

    who thinks all these who thinks and who's listening now (+ year) comments of kids are stupid and a waste of time ... boring low life bitchas

  69. B.... P....

    I would have a SPASMODIC, EPILEPTIC FUCKING SEIZURE every time this came on the radio in 84!!! AWESOME!!

  70. C.... H....

    I can't stop thinking he is the perfect blend of Willy Wonka and Mad Hatter.

    C.... H....

    Do you have a willy-hat fetish? Not judging

    C.... H....

    ​@Alexander LegisNonScriptae Absolutely not. I don't even see it as a "ship" let alone that.

  71. K.... H....

    The original video is better. This one stinks!

  72. D.... F....

    as we did sht u aint done nothing that associated with this u dick

  73. L.... T....

    Haircut2020

  74. B.... C....

    Here is a mandela effect for you I remember 2 sets of drummers for this song

    B.... C....

    You may be thinking of Rock and Roll Part I by the now disgraced Gary Glitter.

    B.... C....

    @WarriorCrimson No that isn't it . I remember it being at an old castle.

  75. T.... R....

    The singer is crazier and nuttier than myself. I’m jealous

  76. l.... ....

    If there really is such a thing as good time rock and roll....this is it.

    l.... ....

    My dog says thank you. At least, that's what I think he's saying

  79. N.... 3....

    N.... 3....

    NBT 3 You mean “Safety Dance”?

    N.... 3....

    @Living Legend yes! Lol!!

  80. C.... W....

    Oh yeah bringing back memories of around 1984

  81. D.... M....

    At the end of the video the needle is still at the beginning of the record on the turntable !

    D.... M....

    That is because they are going to play it again

    D.... M....

  90. M.... ....

    Back in the seventies I was a teenager, and although I liked their songs, I thought the whole glam rock thing rather cheesy. It was years before I recognized their supreme musicianship and theatricality. Rock on, Slade.

    M.... ....

    Years before? Dont you mean after if you thought they were cheesy (so did i) when you first heard them?

    Oh, and subscribe to me. Wouldn't hurt you. And you never know. Might produce some content worthy of the term

  92. T.... D....

    This '84 album was made possible, when they sold song rights of a few songs in their past catalog to Quiet Riot, for their '83 album (Cum on Feel the Noize, & Mamma We're All Crazy Now). They were always known as comical, but had solid music.

    T.... D....

    They didn't sell the rights. Quiet riot covered the songs. Jim Lea and Noddy Holder got a shit load of money from royalties

    T.... D....

    @jayt575au , I remember the interview from back in the day, where Noddy said, selling the "rights" to Quiet Riot made their '84 album possible.

    No matter what, they got much needed funds to make a comeback album.

  93. L.... J....

    For those who don't get it: if you see someone who is friends with everyone, they are liers and you should get away from them as fast and far as possible.
    Thank you boys.
    I remember the day.
    If you have no enemy, you can't have any friends.
    That is the way of the world.

    L.... J....

    Its about a “runaway” who doesn’t face any of their problems and always runs away. They’re the chameleon and the person who beats around the bush and whatnot. Its paradoxically telling you to go out there and do it and whatnot

    L.... J....

    @Strese aerolt Whatever and whatnot.

  94. R.... t....

    This is brilliant. Music that will live on for 100 years. Brilliant group.

  95. R.... H....

    They were the original glam rockers. I saw them in the 70’s as an opening act. They were so good I can’t remember who they opened for. Perhaps Humble Pie. And they were LOUD! Ha-ha-ha. And yes, Noddy does look a lot like Tom Baker back in the day.

  96. E.... D....

    Great song. Stupid video.

    E.... D....

    @Michael Smith Glad we both like the song. In the grand scheme of things, happy that our comments are both as meaningless as the video.

    E.... D....

    I dont get the Scot with the caber wiggling it in the passage....phallic symbol representing what happens with a dick inside a woman????....Im guessing

    E.... D....

    😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

    E.... D....

    Hey Dumb Fucks its Scottish fun! 👽👷💪💚☘✌

    E.... D....

    @Shirlee Bostrom I thought Scottish fun included Velcro(tm) mitaines. And sheep intestines…

  97. S.... ....

    Anyone and everyone who posts "are you still listening in "20XX"? should be killed.

    S.... ....

    How bout 21XX?

    S.... ....

    I remember this song, I dont know if I liked it or not LOL.they were kind of silly. This is the direction Joe Elliott from Def Leppard wanted to go🤯🤣

  98. C.... G....

    No one thinks this is a good song now, I just listen to it when I'm feeling nostalgic
