A New Athens

A New Athens - The Bluetones

We charted a course

And took ourselves north

Through Caledonian fields and back to the source

A gathering force

Packed up inside the guts of an iron horse

And they said a new Athens we would build

And they said a new Athens we would build

All that we lacked until now were the tools

All that we lacked until now was the will

And we met with our host

And raised a glass in a toast

Though we were not quite home we knew we were close

And we heeded his words

Each man interpreted differently just what he heard

And they said a new Athens we would build

And they said a new Athens we would build

All that we lacked until now were the tools

All that we lacked until now was the will

And they said a new Athens we would build

And they said a new Athens we would build

All that we lacked until now were the tools

All that we lacked until now was the will

Was the will
