LYRICS:
There is no garden
There is no fall
Beyond arrival
The search is all.

We left behind us
All we had before
The migrants of the future’s shore.

The dark has spoken now the
Dawn is on our lips.
Where are the New Americas
Have you heard?

The time is broken but the
Mind has launched its ships.
Where are the New Americas
Is there word?

Doves drown
Only making landfall
Where the olive
Withers in the sand.

Waiting
A figure will be waiting
Freedom’s beacon
Blazing in her hand.

For every tempest
That we withstand
There’ll be a harvest in
That rumoured land.

There is a vision
Only seen at night
A coastline barnacled with light.

The dark has spoken now the
Dawn is on our lips.
Where are the New Americas
Have you heard?

The time is broken but the
Mind has launched its ships.
Where are the New Americas
Is there word?

Doves drown
Only making landfall
Where the olive
Withers in the sand.

Waiting
A figure will be waiting
Freedom’s beacon
Blazing in her hand.

The New Americas...

New Americas

This is a complete remix of the track we first released in 2017.  More guitars, more poppy.  Hope you like it.

New Americas - mark 2 remix

With prophetic insight into the coming darkness in his homeland, a young man stows away on the Mayflower’s return trip.  In London he meets a kindred spirit and together they shadow Lonnie Donegan along the dusty hobo trails of Route A13, before captivating the Coffee Republics of Greenwich with voices that rasp reality like unswept DIY stores.  At last they decide to sculpt rock’s vocabulary into an irresistible new direction, but fail to find the heels tall enough.  Now, 30 years on, they feel their world needs them more than ever.
