Kid Kapichi ft. Bob Vylan - New England

  

  A big hello today to the first great song of 2022. A song that covers similar territory to some of the best tracks that already grace this blog. A song that takes aim at Fool Britannia, that drips with scorn but which combines that ire with a groove that's as good as anything you'll hear anywhere. Who'd have thought punk rock music could be as good, or as relevant 4 and a half decades down the line. Sit up, take note...this is the real deal. 

  Hailing from Hastings, Kid Kapichi (https://www.facebook.com/KidKapichi/) are an ascendant 4 piece featuring a line up of Jack Wilson & Ben Beetham (joint lead guitar/vocals), George Macdonald (drums) & Eddie Lewis (bass). They've already attracted the attention of big hitting media outlets such as the BBC & NME so no doubt this new single will be everywhere that matters very soon... 

  ...Especially as it also features Bob Vylan (https://www.facebook.com/BobVylan). 

  It's a song about patriotism. About the yearning for a time that never actually existed. It's about being sold a dream by agenda pushers. It's a song that wonders if people are so entrenched in their beliefs, does it matter anymore what our leaders do? Are we going to carry on regardless or are we ready for change? 

  It's called New England... 

Welcome to the new world The New England Come witness the greatness of Britain Driving around in a German car Stop for lunch in a sushi bar Get my news from the daily star Get my kicks from the tits and arses Never mind about social classes I’ll cast my vote regardless Is it you can’t change, Or that you won’t change Is it you can’t change, Or that you won’t change Welcome to the new world The New England All heroes, no villains Double decker bus and a bowler hat Bob the Builder Postman Pat Social change, no I don’t want that, just sitting eating crisps in my one bed apartment Politics that’s not my department But I’ll cast my vote regardless Is it you can’t change, Or that you won’t change Is it you can’t change, Or that you won’t change You’re such a fool Britannia Britannia fooled again Britannia you’re so vane You’ve gone insane ‘Coz you’ve been fooled Britannia Britannia fooled again Britannia you’re so strange You’ve gone insane Welcome to the new world The new normal Look at us queuing up, so formal Sunday roast God save the Queen Man United with the boot cut jeans Money in my pocket no I’m not too keen That’s why I keep voting for the rich and heartless Bored of all these moaning artists So, I’ll cast my vote regardless Is it you can’t change, Or that you won’t change Is it you can’t change, Or that you won’t change You’re such a fool Britannia Britannia fooled again Britannia you’re so vane You’ve gone insane ‘Coz you’ve been fooled Britannia Britannia fooled again Britannia you’re so strange You’ve gone insane Too many idiots breathing up the air Huffing and puffing like they just run up the stairs Fighting and cussing like they haven’t got a care but they care about everything that happens over here Not over there, they couldn’t give a toss, if it’s a brown country they steal all the crops Blow it to smithereens and let the bombs drop Then cry about the borders when they try and come across Oh gosh I think this place is going nutty Too much spice, less British bacon butty Worry about your neighbours and worry about the druggies but not the Eton graduates that’s taking all your money Seems they’re taking the piss, not blaming the brown fella is hard to resist You’d of thought that the nation was smarter than this But I’ve got a couple of questions Please answer me this. You’re such a fool Britannia Britannia fooled again Britannia you’re so vane You’ve gone insane ‘Coz you’ve been fooled Britannia Britannia fooled again Britannia you’re so strange You’ve gone insane You ain’t shut them out Ya just locked us in You ain’t shut them out Ya just locked us in You ain’t shut them out Ya just locked us in You ain’t shut them out Ya just locked us in You ain’t shut them out Ya just locked us in You ain’t shut them out Ya just locked us in Au Revoir Arrivederci
