LYRICS
Bags packed and by the door, they've been there for a week or so
Passport is looking worn, in the picture I look 12 years old
Outside the weather's cold, I'm wearing every sweater I own
It's hot there so I've been told, won't be wearing nothing at all
This is goodbye
Catching our flight tonight
Can't stay
Going away today
We'll get lost and find ourselves in a foreign land
We'll swim in seas and lie on sand
Singing "Wha-wha-oh wha-wha-ohhh We're English kids in America!"
Shades and bikini babes, I'm planning on a drink or two
Hang 10 and catch some waves, I've forgotten everyone I knew
I've left home, you're home alone
No wifi or mobile phone now that the open road is all I know
Get lost and find yourself in a foreign land
Go swim in seas and lie on sand
Singing "Wha-wha-oh wha-wha-ohhh We're English kids in America!"

I've been bashed all day for liking this song. Yes the lyrics might be a bit cheesy and it might be a drastic change from old LTA but this a top notch pop-rock song with potential to take them up a tier in the world of rock n' roll. Kudos lads.
And let's face it, lyrics have never been Mike Duce's strong point
Aria Hendrix some of his older lyrics are great
I'm not denying that the lyrics for songs such as Another Sad Song are brilliant (I mean, 'don't cry, we all make mistakes from time to time, unfortunately for me being me was mine' is a brilliant line, don't get me wrong).
But there are some fairly cringe-worthy ones in Mike Duce's back catalogue.
Take Scared Of The Dark, for example. 'They surround me like an army of ninja ghosts'. Ninja ghosts? Really?
+Aria Hendrix True, but the lyrics from Deadliest Catch has to be the best made by him, in my opinion that is.
Except the fact that that never happened
Love this song! Nearly 2 years since it was released! :3 💞💞
A song I need to know for Reading!
大好きな曲です！いつまでも聞きます。
i wish the whole world listened to this song.
Swear they played this at wedgwood rooms a couple weeks back!
I was there too, I think they did, it sounds pretty familiar! x
Yeah they did, it was part of the setlist! :)
It was yeah, I filmed it!
It was the first I'd been to, I loved it 😁
These kids are cool :)))
Fucking love it. #EnglishKidsInAmerica
I spot The Incredible Hulk Coaster xD
The Boys
This song is going to sound amazing when I'm drunk.
And….how was it?
that guitar part in the verse suggests to me that they've been listening to some American Football
Listen to their AF cover
Yeah I know man, I've got the covers EP
They released a video of Mike playing just that riff about 6 months ago and I mentioned in the comments how much it sounded like AF and they wrote back saying AF had a major part to be played with that section :P
*Hand egg
Amazing. If the rest of the album's as good as this and Here We Go, we're in for a treat!
Pig Wizard how do you know?
The stuff I've heard is incredible, I'm so excited for the final release!
+pigwizard same dude :)
It is. Google "Q Magazine Lower Than Atlantis" they're streaming it bro!
I'm so unbelievably proud of Lower Than Atlantis. Growth.
Definitely just taped this song off the radio.
Everyone says they've sold out/changed ect. Type in Lower Than Atlantis - Documentary. They explain everything and it's all justified.
Love the new album! It's fucking amazing.
pleased with the track in terms of the music but idk, not really keen on this new "obvious" and generic style of lyrics. Mike used to write such deep and interpretive stuff. still loving the sound though lads!
Cause "hardcore dance? I'll stick my size twelve Nike up your hardcore arse" is so deep...?
aw nice way to selectively choose lyrics when there's like... 3 studio albums and an EP's worth of lyrics prior to their self titled one to choose from.
Great pop song. Shite LTA song. The days of Far Q and world record appear to be forgotten... Shame
it's just time to move on man :) accept it
I went to Brighton last night, to see A Day To Remember. Lower Than Atlantis were one of their warm-up bands, and I must say, this is the only song I knew from them, but they were like 10 times better live, and it's really worth seeing them if you're a fan!
This is a cool video I just started getting into Lower Than Atlantis and I wish I had done it sooner.
Does anyone else cringe when Mike says 'Bikini babes'?
Whenever I hear Europeans use "America" to mean "beaches and summer and FLORIDA" I roll my eyes a little. Call me when you guys decide to check out the 80% of the country that's not as much fun.
read: i'm butthurt that you released this song without a US tour to go with it I mean seriously
Why do people have this idea in their head that a band MUST stick to the first style of music they ever played. Are you saying the first style of music you ever enjoyed listening to is the same as it is now? Fuck no is it. I listened to the Spice Girls over and over again when I was 3. Green Day pretty solidly through my mid teens, and now bands like Enter Shikari, Biffy Clyro, Lower Than Atlantis and The Gaslight Anthem are in my most played list. Noticeably all different styles yeah? Now would you change back to Spice Girls because that's what you started off with, or what people expect you to listen to? Fuck would you. Now transfer that to the world of professional musicians, who have to play the same sound and style of music throughout their careers. It's like you think you have more right to what they play than they do. The funny thing about LTA, is its NOW that they're signed to a major label, that they've felt like they've had enough of playing what YOU want them to hear. The mainstream for them would be to play exactly what they used to play all the time. Not the other way round.
This is the most correct thing I've ever seen on TH-cam. You're so right...
I think I was particularly pissed off this day. However I stick to my thoughts. Thanks!
i agree with you there, just last year the only thing i listened to was dubstep and before that, when i was a kid i only listened to michael jackson
Mr Keller, I do hope that, at some point in this crazy life, we bump into one another so I can buy you a beer because you've got it on the button. Play to the labels and then play for them before getting really pissed off and get back to playing proper music. This actually happens to be my favourite song to wail along to in the car but that's beside the point.
"Woahhh.oooooo...wooahhh.oooooahhhh...we're English kids in Syria!"
yellowsubmarine1984 really?
More like Syrian kids in england
Saw these guys last week as they opened for Hands Like Houses. Not gonna lie, they put on a pretty good show!
This band is so underrated
See, this is the definition of 'Sellout' but nobody calls them out for it... They're to busy calling out bands like avenged, Linkin park and bring me the horizon, bands who haven't sold out. There is a difference between selling out which is changing your music to become more popular and simply redefining your sound.
Agreed
Don't listen to it then?
Hardly sellouts for creating different style of songs, from the riffs alone you can easily tell they're still LTA. They're proud of where they came from and how they started and the music they started with, seeing as they still play it at gigs. They're also one of the rare bands who put their fans before anything else.
***** This song is clearly mainstream rock music. It's their choice though, mainstream music wouldn't be popular if a lot of people didn't like it so LTA might just be into this type of music and feel like making a mainstream rock album.
Have you not heard BMTH's Suicide Season compared to the shit they put out now? Also referencing Linkin Park and Avenged Sevenfold?!?! You are a moron.
not a big fan of this track, but that prechorus twinkly bit tho
Lower than Fife: Scottish Kids in England
Sounds legit, it's the same though c: ;(
Hey guys! We think you would love our new single 'Crossfire'. Come check us out! :)
WHY HAVENT MORE PEOPLE SEEN THIS
Lower than Atlantis are perfect. They make me so happy and I love them for that.
Stop whining. Their new stuff sounds ace and their old stuff sounds ace for two completely different reasons. I like both and won't complain about their new material unless they delve into a ton of non-musical mainstream bullshit. This here though IS good music.
That riff in the latter part of the verses!
our brothers and sisters from across the pond are always welcomed here. I love the Brits!!
still in love with this no matter what anyone thinks. what a throwback!
This was jam back when i started highschool and i m 20 now hahaha glad i found it again 😍😍💙💙💙💙💙
Only got into these today n I'm definitely hooked by this band awesome sound need to catch them live now
Great song, although this is the most unrelatable thing in the world. To feel cool you need to be not from one but two western countries :D
Tbh I don't think they wrote this for us, but for them selves
2007 - Forever
Daniel M. saw them 3 weeks ago and still missing them so hard
bit cringey
Please do a sequel in North Korea.
All of their past stuff was amazing and if this is their representation of what's to come in the future...I'm gonna be so happy with the result. This is a badass tune and can't wait to hear more!
THIS IS SO GOOD!!!!!!! I AM SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEW ALBUM OMG
Feels like a summer song! Good vibes.
our brothers and sisters from across the pond are always welcomed here. I love the Brits!!
+Michael Parson Especially the ladies ;) British girls are the best girls in the world.
+Michael Parson Yes we are pretty amazing ;)
+Adam XYZ Someone's never been to Crawley.
BoomBoomChow
Of course there are exceptions, but in general, they are way hotter than Americans (of which, I am)
Such a great vibe lads, your new direction is good hear, this is gonna launch you sky high!
Loved Here We Go but not the biggest fan of this one.
new album is sounding fucking amazing so far, by far my biggest inspiration musically
amazing, love this track and video so sick!
Literally love this track now, excited to see what the new album has to offer. have to say wasn't a fan at first!
I actually like this song, despite it been out of my style group. I listen to Kerrang Radio (UK) at work and it helps me with my busy cooking shift...
This song would actually be on my Saved list for repeats if the drummer did some god damn work, lazy drummer..
Any percussion musician listening to this can clearly hear the drummer gave up ... Unfortunately he was given plenty of opportunities during the song!!! It's not as though he was allready too busy.
Thanks for writing the lyrics in the description. Feeling this tune!
Ok look.....we all love the old stuff from most of the bands we grew with rather than the newer. And then eventually disappear, but I don't want LTA's music to disappear so let's stop comparing their old stuff to the new and enjoy good music so we can help keep em around!
people need to stop bitching and moaning that LTA aren't 'heavy' anymore. grow up. if you are a true fan you will support them for then band they are. this song is so good and so catchy god knows how many times i've played it. if you don't like it move onto another band. I personally can't wait for them to tour their next album!!
this is a great advertisment for florida.
I listened to "Here We Go" and I thought 'eh this is alright!'....then I listened to this...and saw this video....Great chords and great production but this song is a bit silly.
i prefer this to their old stuff ngl
It reminds me of Future's old stuff. A band gone but not forgotten as apparent in this song. You guys are fuckin' epic. Hope to see you in Vancouver someday
Great Band...
I am so looking forward to the new album !!!!!
cannot wait to hear this song at Reading festival,, makes me want to cartwheel naked in the sun with a beer strapped to my forehead
Who remembers Bretton? Thats where it was at. A lot of hype over Far Q. Anyway. looking forward for the new album.
Lyrics are a bit corny but guitar is interesting, a bit like The Hotspur Press haha. Quality track though
Yes this is awesome! can't wait for the album
Anyone from England who has been to America will instantly get this song! Reminds me of many happy family holidays to Florida :)
Sounded alrightish till the chorus, is this some kind of joke song. Proper gay and commercial
Catchy bloody song, and still got the LTA core to it. Fuckin ripper! Can't wait for the album, reckon it'll be one of the year's best.
I see one of there dads sometimes
Why was this pulled from Spotify? It was on my list. Or maybe it's still there for those who pay 2/3rds of the premium we pay.
Cant wait for the album, hope its not the last!! LTA till I die!! see you at reading!!
soo hyped for the new album!
I LOVE Lower Than Atlantis - English Kids in America!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It maybe a change from their older stuff but still has the British pop punk feel to it! Fair play lads keep going strong!
It's amazing how quickly I fall in love with Lower Than Atlantic songs
Just in time for when I go back to uni - this will be full volume in the car...
This came out whilst I was on my 2 month adventure in America. Extrememly good timing
They haven't toured in america in 3 years. Since before changing tune was out. This has to be joke about how they'll never come back.
They wrote the song about the first time they ever toured America
YES YES YES SUPERB
I respect their decision to progress with their music, but this is really shite isn't it
Looking forward to seeing these at Newcastle for support to ADTR.
Lower than One Direction.
YES YES YES
The fast little riffs reminds me of Biffy Clyro. Interesting song.
I listened to their acoustic first. And didn't expect it will sound like this. Haha acoustic ver. was better. :)
Zarina Celis both are awesome
Sooo amazing well done guys x
Love them, even though they totally ripped off Mallory Knox
Who is here with Guitar Hero Live ;) ?
Yaassss! I've just moved to Advanced, found this & LOVED it. Most guitar hero live songs are now on 24 hour repeat on my phone & laptop on youtube. Come on.
LTA proving yet again they're the best British band out there!
Gonna be my album of year, I can already feel it.
Amazing song, band keeps progressing. Love LTA!
2020!
Is it just me or is the bass ridiculously loud in this?
Island records have destroyed LTA
they're signed to Sony now...
Opinions opinions!! Here we go, good! This song, boring
0:16 that's exactly what I did in Universal too haha!
Im sorry but this song to me is very self absorbed
I like it more than their older songs, each to their own...
I'm from Britain. Wish I was in America ♥♥
As for me - an exceptionally fine song
