lyrics

LYRICS
The new black
It's not a colour it's a marketing concept to sell more
Change the image by degrees to sell these
Here's the cycle recycled a new lease
Here's the new black it's a rebrand it's a remix a repeat a rename
It's not the black that we knew before oh no
It's the new thing created to replay, replay

The present redundant recycled remodelled re branded
The past is the only way forward the old thing the new thing the same thing
The past is where the future lies and the present lies are to make you buy, and
The new black
It's not a colour
It's a poor excuse for the other

Here's the new black it's so different and by different I mean not that different
It depends on the marketing clearly, but to me it looks the same exactly
And the past is where the future lies and the present lies are to make you buy, and
The new black
It's not a colour
It's a poor excuse for the other

about

Church of Elvis image

Church of Elvis England, UK

Church OF Elvis (everybody's 90's support act, nobody's darlings) reformed and released Submarina in 2014 and the brilliant Spirals in 2015. They are back during lockdown with the melancholy Rotten Fruit. Their back catalogue is enormous, but you won't find one Elv the Pelv cover version lurking anywhere!
They will also drink your rider, you have been warned.
Thank-you-very much... ... more
