  • 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

I heard the news today
A friend of mine she ran away to be someone
She wanted to be a star
But I'm not that kind
I'll keep dreaming of the things I could have
Should haves don't spring to mind

As the years roll on
My feet get stuck in the mud
But rock’n'roll it stays in my blood

When the Sunday summer sun
Shines right through my window
Well I think of you
And wonder where you are
Even though I'm glad for you
Jealousy it eats away from out the blue
And not much else remains

As the years roll on
My feet get stuck in the mud
But rock’n'roll it stays in my blood

And I’ll write a song that no one will hear
All my blood, sweat and my tears
And how I might be broken
None of it matters anyway
Not a single word that I say
I'm the book you haven't opened

As the years roll on
My feet get stuck in the mud
And all I've learned ain't done me good

There's not much left for me
So I'll keep playing all those little melodies
And dream of might have beens

As the years roll on
My feet get stuck in the mud
But rock 'n' roll stays in my blood
