Biography

Scottish post-punk pop group formed in Glasgow in 1979. Originally comprising Clare Grogan (vocals), Tony McDaid (guitar), John McElhone (bass), Gerard "Caesar" McInulty (guitar) and Michael "Tich" Anderson (drums). McInulty left in 1981 to form [a=The Wake] with Jim McKinven (guitar/keyboards) replacing him. They soon adopted synthpop stylings under the influence of producers including Martin Rushent and Mike Chapman. The group split in 1983 (Anderson and McKinven had already left the previous year). Clare (who had already appeared in the hit film "Gregory's Girl" in 1980) was also an actress appearing under the name CP Grogan. In December 2021, [a388950] announced that the first Altered Images album in over 38 years would be released in 2022, titled [Link]. [a388950] and with tracks co-written with Texas member [a396847] (who was the band's original bass player).

LYRICS

I would like to climb high in a tree
I could be happy, I could be happy
Or go to Skye on my holiday
I could be happy, I could be happy
Maybe swim a mile down the Nile
I could be happy, I could be happy

All of these things I do
All of these things I do
To get away from you
Get away, run away, far away, how do I
Get away, run away, far away, how do I
Escape from you?

I would like to climb high in a tree
I could be happy, I could be happy

Or go to Skye on my holiday
I could be happy, I could be happy

Maybe swim a mile down the Nile
I could be happy, I could be happy

All of these things I do
All of these things I do
To get away from you
Get away, run away, far away, how do I
Get away, run away, far away, how do I
Escape from you?

I would like to climb high in a tree
I could be happy, I could be happy

Or go to Skye on my holiday
I could be happy, I could be happy

Maybe swim a mile down the Nile
I could be happy, I could be happy

Get away, run away, far away, how do I
Get away, run away, far away, how do I
Get away, run away, far away, how do I
Get away, run away, far away, how do I
Escape from you?
