After 5 years of working I am proud to present you the Annotated New Model Army Song Archive! Justin Sullivan's lyrics abound in cultural, historical, political, literary and religious references, and I have made an attempt to explain most of them as well as collect Justin's statements about the meaning of single songs. Enjoy! (And, as always, help me by sending corrections, additions, remarks, anything).

I think, attempts to cash in on New Model Army without their consent.

Tales of the Road CD and Justin Sullivan and Friends DVD. Lyrics for

added: Thanks to Dave I was able to complete the lyrics of In
a Rut
Peter remembers a gig where New Model Army played Rasputin!
And finally, I've gotten out all my NMA records, bootlegs,
tapes etc., read my diaries, shamelessly plundered other sites (namely
the BD7 Concert Database, Patrice's
and Freak's setlist sites,
Nobby's Complete Tour
Books and Peter's
CD-Rs page), in short: wasted endless precious time instead of writing fascinating,
clever essays and term papers (it's called procrastination, I think) only to
add information to this site that nobody's interested in anyway!

I've added details about NMA tours, festivals or single concerts to the sources
of the songs. A "tour" in this case is a sequence of more than one concert with
reasonably similar setlists within a reasonably short time span; "festivals"
also include warm-up gigs with similar sets; details to a single concert are
given when even I didn't manage to assign it to either of the two categories.
Expect an update on details of RSC or Justin's solo gigs when my next essays
are due . . .
