Adam Ant - Kings Of The Wild Frontier Lyrics






A new royal family, a wild nobility
We are the family
A new royal family, a wild nobility
We are the family
A new royal family, a wild nobility
We are the family

I feel beneath the white
There is a redskin suffering
From centuries of taming
I feel beneath the white
There is a redskin suffering
From centuries of taming

No method in our madness (yeah)
Just pride about our maner (yeah)
Antpeople are the warriors (yeah)
Antmusic is the banner (yeah)

(Hey-o, ah)
(Hey-o, ah)
(Hey-o, ah)
(Hey-o, ah)
(Hey-o, ah)
(Hey-o, ah)
(Hey-o, ah)
(Hey-o, ah, yeah)

A new royal family, a wild nobility
We are the family (yeah)
A new royal family, a wild nobility
We are the family

And even when you're healthy
And your colour schemes delight
Down below those dandy clothes
You're just a shade too white
Shade too white
Shade too white
Shade too white

I feel beneath the white
There is a redskin suffering
From centuries of taming
I feel beneath the white
There is a redskin suffering
From centuries of taming

  1. W.... F....

    A million yrs ago for me

  2. L.... O....

    ....next thing I knew I was naked

  3. W.... P....

    Rather like the glam-rockers and punks that preceded him Adam was great visually and had an interesting new sound for the early eighties.

  4. �.... �....

    Ант - гремучая смесь Билли Коргана и Борзыкина:)

  5. D.... C....

    My fav adam and the ants song get goosebumps with the drumming heard it live in November omg was in heaven

  6. Z.... S....

    He looks like a product of the French & Indian War

  7. z.... ....

    Shesh I had a lucky escape, was going to go to school with the white stripe across my nose, but couldn't find anything to use, I decided tipex would be a good idea but couldn't find any; seemed reasonable at the time.

  8. s.... l....

    Adam is an icon to anyone with mental issues or even people who just love the blissfull sound,.In 1979 ish remember dirk wears white sock,young parisians and then he became the pop meister and it was a beautiful journey.God bless mate and hope you rock till you drop.

  9. s.... l....

    Great theatre brilliant double drumming just wish theyd make an Adam Ant musical .I still dream that im in the 80s because I love them.

  10. B.... C....

    50 shad's of white...lol?

  11. B.... C....

    I HAVE THIS ALBUM!....;)

    B.... C....

    Me too..........vinyl.

  12. B.... R....

    One of the best videos ever!!!!!

  13. J.... B....

    I was a teenager when Adam hit the scene..boom ant music every where...being a teen back then was brilliant and exciting cause music was such a mixed bag with a fashion to go with it..Sadly today there isn't, one record sounds the same and look the same ..glad i was apart of the late 70s and 80s...

  14. k.... ....

    Really captures what it is to be young and alive

  15. R.... M....

  19. e.... a....

    I think he did , at the time there was no one bigger than them loads of publicity no 1 hits popular amongst the young he had it all . Great tunes and remembered years later .

  21. C.... ....

    Kids, this is why you shouldn't do drugs.....

  22. V.... S....

  23. L.... W....

    Hottie!

  31. S.... F....

    Proud to say this was the first LP I bought as a kid (and still have)! The drums on this are just great and inspired me to be a drummer (used to play along on cardboard boxes)...which I still am today. Thanks Adam and your Ants!

  32. s.... G....

    absolute Superb song Still sounds so original & in a league of own all these years on...respect👍

  33. 1.... ....

    saw him last year at the greek. he and band were if fine form. just a superb show. first show was in '82 or 3 at the long beach arena

  34. M.... M....

    Una banda muy sobrevalorada
    A very overrated band

  35. F.... L....

    Junkie kiddie fiddlers

  36. w.... ....

    Duran Duran would've been well relieved to hear the Ants had split up.

  37. I.... H....

    When the Ants were still good, before the sell out..

  38. B.... W....

    Era of music been missed

  39. D.... ....

    So understand this song and yes sometimes you just are not one or the other. A shade too white and a shade more dark. Or , any variation that is not the typical. No one talks about this. But he did; thank you MR. Ant. Adam Ant made me feel growing up I had a family in the music industry

  40. M.... P....

    Lavly Zombie-Pirat-Goth

  41. R.... T....

    Went see them live the 2 drummer sound was awesome! Until they sold out. Of course they did better financially then because most people have no taste

  42. K.... P....

    Never tire of hearing this song - loved it then and love it more now ! what a tune

  43. W.... A....

    Does anyone else get a sad kinda feeling when they realise that the 1980-81 period will never return ? 😥

  44. m.... e....

    I still have their albums on Vinyl. My mother hated them ha ha. But he was on posters all over my bedroom.
    But I think I was about 11 ish when Stand & deliver came out so maybe she was right to be worried 🙈😂

  45. E.... M....

    New Family free of Wonkey donkeys lol

  46. E.... M....

    Hokey cokey new moves. God's approved it and I got power on me haha

  47. E.... M....

    Catch up people lol

  48. E.... M....

    Tem cada bagaceira esquisita que agente conhece no auge da velhice inacreditavelmente inacreditavel !

  49. M.... S....

    Wouldn't "redskin" be deemed as derogatory?

    M.... S....

    Luckily back then we didn't look for things to be offended by...Snowflake 🙄

  50. R.... o....

    He should tour...like for real.

  51. A.... B....

    Just saw him in concert Fri night. Tore the house down. Definitely go see the show, if you can. ❤️

  52. S.... T....

    Two drummers? Nonsense.


    Adam Ant: hold my mic...

  53. L.... H....

    Brilliant tune but why are they pretending to play their guitars at the start when the track only has drums?

  54. J.... K....

    this video will always have a warm place in my heart because it was the very first music video that i saw. for as long ago as this video originally aired on tv, i continue to remember it so well. in my parents room, not long prior to going to bed, i was changing channels and this came on, and i was hooked as it was nothing like i had heard prior to then. i especially loved how strong the beat was and how cool they all looked. been a big Adam and the Ants/Adam Ant fan ever since...

  55. c.... ....

    A new royal family, a wild nobility

  56. K.... ....

    Frankly I think this music sounds terrible! I've tried listening to 4 or 5 songs by these guys and I can't take it anymore. I get that the look and sound was influential and it's unique, but it still sucks. The production is terrible and Adam Ant ain't much of a singer. Take away his videos and his looks and he's just an average 80's bumpkin if you ask me.

  57. C.... S....

    Camera is really focusing in on Kevin Mooney in this video

  58. e.... ....

    Serious native American influence

  59. B.... B....

    I saw "Adam Ant" spray painted all around State College, Penn State University, on the sidewalks...as advertising for a coming concert. This would have had to have been 1982.

  60. s.... s....

    I liked Adam and the ants they were special indeed. But what were they on about? Not sure but sounded good and was transfixing to watch.

  61. F.... R....

    Those drums are crazy

  62. M.... ....

    fierce.

  63. T.... O....

    I wish someone would bring back this look!

  64. r.... w....

    Zi was born in 1962 this was one of the best albums that came out in the early 80s fucking brilliant listening to it now it's even better fucking brilliant dicky fae Dundee

  65. D.... S....

    Awesome song classic 80s 👌

  66. F.... L....

    i remember 1980

  67. S.... G....

    Where did the time go??? I was blessed to have been a teen in the 80's the best musical decade ever. Today my daughter turned 21 and her and her friends were paying music and I felt sorry for them and the mediocre lifeless music of today.

  68. J.... K....

    Best bass tone ever

  69. A.... S....

    There have been no recent comments as of 2019 that I can find:( sigh

    A.... S....

    Im here still love this song

  70. C.... A....

    Kings of the wild frontier!!! Bring that funky noise antz people !!

  71. T.... B....

    I bent my mother's knitting needles whilst practicing that drum RIFT on the settee arms. I still have a cauliflower ear, but it was worth it. Bless you Adam, I hope you're still adamant.

  72. a.... p....

    Even better played live!

  73. T.... K....

    Pure heaven to listen too, the man is still a living legend in my opinion.
    Adam Ant is a creative genius.

  74. T.... T....

    Great song, Post-Punk's / New Wave's answer to "We are Family". Love the tribal beats, so sexy and compelling.

  75. B.... ....

    1:34 album cover art still

  76. T.... H....

    Marco on lead 🎸 😍

  77. T.... ....

  86. S.... C....
