  • 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

All I can say is I'm feeling let down
And I can't believe how it hurts
One fine day I was on a crest of a wave
Oh man I must be cursed

And I don’t need someone hanging 'round
‘Cause I just need something that makes me proud

All I can say is my pride's in the way
And I know a fall is coming
'Cause rose tint nostalgia is all that I have
I can't keep up for running

I don't need someone hanging 'round
And I just need something that makes me proud

And all I can say is wasting away in my head
Words can't be said
And all that I know will remain unknown 'til it's said
And it leaves my head
It leaves my head

I don't need someone hanging 'round
And I just need something that makes me proud

And all I can say is wasting away in my head
Words can't be said
And all that I know will remain unknown 'til it's said
And it leaves my head
It leaves my head
