About A New Day

"A New Day" is a non-album single by English post-punk band Killing Joke. It was released by E. G. Records in July 1984 as a 12" and 7" single. The 12" single featured a dub mix of "A New Day" as the A-side and "A New Day" as the B-side. The 7" single featured a shorter version of "A New Day" as the A-side and "Dance Day" as the B-side. A completely different version of "A New Day", which was not a mix, later appeared on the 2008 reissue of Killing Joke's fifth studio album, Night Time. The single reached No. 51 in the UK Singles Chart. A promotional video was filmed for the song, marking the first time the band had made a video for a non-album single.

You
You wake up to a new day
Forwards
We move towards a new way oh
Come with me
Gather with your torches
Singing
Dance by night we all are strong

A new day....oh, a new day
A new way...oh, a new way
Somewhere the sun shines in the east
A new day....oh, a new day

Touch me
Tell me I'm still human
And wild
We'll run until we run ??run long??
Our bodies talk, words are lost
Hand in hand we follow
All around
A man becomes the people

A new day....oh, a new day
A new way...oh, a new way
Somewhere the sun shines in the east
A new day....oh, a new day

You
You caught me in your spell
Hypnotized
You touched me and now I'm ??gone??
Conflict
Every day the same
Wishing
Wishing we could see the way

A new day....oh, a new day
A new way...oh, a new way
Somewhere the sun shines in the east
A new day....oh, a new day

We watch the sun rise in the east
A new day....oh, a new day
A new day....oh, a new day
A new day....oh, a new day
A new day....oh, a new day
