First New Day

from Art & Illusion by Twelfth Night

/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    The double CD is an expanded version consisting of the original album, contemporary demos and live material, including the first ever released version of Andy singing East of Eden.

    It has some absolutely fantastic new artwork, which has been completely reworked / re-interpreted by Paul Tippett at Vitamin P (with help from our own in-built creative, Senor Sears).

    All the lyrics have been lavishly illustrated with some stunning images, and there are brand new sleeve-notes from Andy Sears, Mark Hughes and Andy Wild. Here are just a couple of the pages from the booklet, a couple of live photos, and a publicity shot for the original release in 1984.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Art & Illusion via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

about

Recorded at Amazon Studios, Liverpool - August 1984.

lyrics

how can we fight the diseases of the poor
when colour of a nation is reasoning for war
men force your surrender, then ask you to believe
with the lives of many millions embroidered of their sleeves

is this reason – a price to pay?
give us reason – a first new day

acid emotion – child of suicide
bewilderment and hunger are hurting you inside
while hopes find protection in the sanctuary of life
another voice is silenced in the quiet of the night

is this reason – a price to pay?
give us reason – a first new day

all breathe together, suffocate the fear
let each of us in comfort share the pain, the tears, the years
don’t let their hate be the dowry of a youth
too humble for importance
too honest for the truth

is this reason – a price to pay?
give us reason – a first new day
give us reason – a first new day
