  • Limited Edition Gatefold Vinyl
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Sunstone Records are proud to present a limited vinyl press of the second album ‘The Greatest Show on Earth‘ by our favourite, North Lakes troubadours Kontiki Suite.

    After initially approaching the band as fans this is the realisation of something incredibly special - their 2012 debut ‘On Sunset Lake’ was and still is a favourite and to be involved in the follow up is a majestic feeling – musically and lyrically it feels like a follow up to the debut with
    added colour and swagger: think Byrds / Emitt Rhodes / Brewer and Shipley / Beachwood Sparks / Teenage Fanclub

    The LP will be housed in a wonderful Luke Insect designed gatefold with a free digital download. This is the sound of deep Northern England and the bands love of melody, harmony, country rock and psychedelia takes us to the next level of their trip.

    Includes unlimited streaming of The Greatest Show On Earth via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

She says she loves me
She tells me all the time
I don't know why
Hasn't she seen me lately
To know what state I'm in
I no longer feel fine

It's getting pretty hard to keep
Up with my old self
Hear me plead
I never want to leave here again
Demons are waiting for me
To take my soul away

Past sins they haunt me
Stitching’s coming loose
From reality
See my reflection
It's been there all along
I just would not see

I'll never be the same again
This is for my crimes
I'm guilty of them
My knees are creaking, back aches again
Refocus my dreaming
Take that carpet ride, amen

She's all that I've been missing
All that I've been dreaming of is her
She's all that I've been missing
All that I've been thinking of is her
But they'll find
She's all that I'm hanging onto
She's all that I've been missing
All that I've been dreaming of is her

She says she loves me
She says she loves me
