Paul Shapera - New Albion 5 lyrics

[Announcer] *Welcome back listeners, to tonight's broadcast. For close to ten years, a civil war has raged across New Albion. It is only with the battle of Crier's Boulevard that at last victor emerges. But how is this battle truly won and lost? Join me, your host Lloyd Allen and The Dieselpunk Orchestra as we take a tour through our dear city, explore the events surrounding Crier's Boulevard, and meet tonight's featured family the O'Brien's. Here, on the New Albion Radio Hour!* There's a city I could name which I'm sad to say became a quite uptight oppressive and obsessive police state An ex-soldier one day vowed To bring the marshall regime down By igniting revolution, but the question remained how One night at half past ten he quietly snuck beneath parliament, the seat of power, where the government did meet In the water there that ran, a truth serum he did plant And that how New Albion's civil war began The revolution friends is here, and it's been going on for years. The undertakers and arms dealers all have crystal chandeliers. There's a union now of spies can be bought be any side. Their boss, the cigarette girl, works the rumba club most nights District 3 and 4 and 1 there's red haired lad who runs the gangs of orphaned feral youth who under his watch have become Organised, disciplined, and for liquor d** contraband The mob and postal service use them to deliver cross the land Now generators neath districts 7, 8, and 3 excrete a dust A sandy rust, it's been discovered leads To a pleasant dreamy high it's the new drug on the rise But only three albinos living underground know where it lies A tinker we all know who has a shop on Tin Pan Row makes little metal fairies whose souls a flake of snow The government's last big hope The super soldier plan you know We'll be looking at more closely so stayed tuned to the show
