about

What a wonderful country we live in. The mother of Parliament, the home of the railways, the greatest empire the world has ever seen … or perhaps not. Could it be the evil face of imperialism … a face not unlike a bulldog. Our Colonel is based upon the Colonel Blimp character … all Marquis of Queensberry rules etc. Yes, the trusty shield of British Justice and the honourable sword of fair play strikes yet another blow for Queen and country.

lyrics

If the beast is giving you trouble
Remove the tooth and nail the naked claws
Have no soul so why not destroy them
Ancients with hazy dreams and gods and dust
Christian god is always forgiving
Let’s see it happen in our life and times
Makes us think that Lords is a place where
Supremacy is shown to one and all

The heat, the heat of the night
East that East of Arabia
Sweet are the spices of India
Small, small are the souls of desire

Sergeant Major you are a cool one
Hey have you seen those native’s leap and scream
Indian Colonial hybrid
Here where they sell art nouveau western world
We’ve tried by keeping all of them happy
Feeding them karma sutra heavy dreams
Have no soul so why not destroy them
Why can’t they learn to fight on even terms

Sign your name on the dotted line
Cos Kitchiner thinks you’re just fine
Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
If you think civvie life’s a drag

Don’t you know I’m leaving
Don’t you know I’ve gone
I’ve told you many a time
And now this time is here

Damn natives got no sense of dignity
Had an uprising just before tea
Killed them all and was back for Six
In time for After Eights

Remember when we had caviar
Back in Delhi ’Twenty-four
The best Regiment in India
Won their VC’s by the score

Your body’s now broken
And your eyes they can’t see in the dark
You’re no good and evil
Yet you still walk your dog in the park
Yet you still walk your dog in the …

Forsaken Innocence
by Drifting Sun

supported by 18 fans who also own “East Of Arabia”

Soothfully a phenomenal prog rock album—an instant classic. What motivates me to say so, is the music’s incredible expressiveness & its wonderfully cinematic song structures. Jargon is a very good fit with this band. It is quite evident that the band’s current lineup have great chemistry together & that they share a common affinity to this vein of music. I look forward to their next creation. Drifting Sun are definitely one of prog rock’s brightest lights. Thank you, DS! 9+/10. Alrihkh

Heart of Darkness
by Rick Miller

supported by 15 fans who also own “East Of Arabia”

Ein so seltsames Album ist mir lange nicht mehr untergekommen. Der Track „Blood Of The Rose“ lässt den Hörer die Stirn in Falten ziehen. Eine zuckersüße, liebliche, kitschige Melodie dringt an das Ohr des Hörers. So säuselt der Song eine Weile vor sich hin, bis er plötzlich etwa bei Halbzeit (es handelt sich um einen 10minüter) komplett die Stimmung wechselt und plötzlich mit zupackender Gitarre und Sprech-Gesang in einen floydige Bluesrock-Hymne umschlägt... sehr kurios!

Trip the Life Fantastic
by Drifting Sun

supported by 15 fans who also own “East Of Arabia”

To me, "Trip The Life Fantastic" was a must-buy on "Bandcamp Friday" this time. It's one of the few "Drifting Sun" albums not already found in my collection, and an essential one, because it marks the beginning of the prolific collaboration of composer/keyboardist Pat Sanders and lyricist/singer Peter Falconer, which was, in my opinion, the best creative pairing the band ever had.

Wow! What a great album. Lots of great songs and great production. Some impressive guests as well like Jon Davison and Billy Sherwood of Yes. This album should be in every prog rock lovers collection. marcusalmightygemineye
