background
"In some ways this is one of my favourite tracks, lots of great ideas and Jim finds the context to pull them all together." - Charlie, 24th March 2015

It's difficult to determine when The American was actually written. Apparently it was inspired by the bright colours of an exhibition of modern American art that Jim visited, being written in the back of a van while driving through the East Coast of America.

However, dates on the tapes disagree. The demo was first cut at CaVa studios, Glasagow, on the 14th February 1981; and the first formal recording of the song had been committed to tape at The Manor with Steve Hillage later that month. So, The American had already been written and recorded before the band briefly toured America in 1981. Perhaps the genesis of the song went back further to the band's first trip in 1979?

The first mix at The Manor wasn't right, so Steve Hillage remixed the master at The Townhouse on the 4th March 1981, creating the final album mix. More work at Odyssey in early April yieled the 7" edit and the extended version - a simple fusion of the album track, acapella chorus and instrumental. With League Of Nations complete from the February Manor sessions, Virgin had now enough material for the first single, and the production master for The American was created on the 14th April 1981 at The Townhouse.

Selected as the first single from the forthcoming album, The American was the first song completed during the Sons And Fascination sessions.


"Dortmund was "The American's" finest hour. I will never forget that day or my special bass line."

JE: What was the first moment when you two looked at each other, or what song was it, and went "We've got this?"
CB: It was probably Alive And Kicking about ten years later.
JE: That late on?
CB: No, it would've been...
JK: I thought when Charlie and Mick came up with The American, the noise of that. I thought this is it. This is a Simple Minds thing. There was a swagger there. I think we just knew.

lyrics
Here comes the shake,
The speed-decade wake.
I see you wake,
Shake,
Fit on those overalls,
What do you know about this world anyway?

I see a man,
With an airfield plan.
I caught a boy fall out of the sky.
What do you know about this world anyway?

Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-Amer-American,
In collective fame.
Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-Amer-American,
Nassau club day.
Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-Amer-American,
Across a curved earth,
In collective fame.
Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-Amer-American,
The eventful work-outs,
Nassau club days.

Here comes the flag,
I'm walking in the black.

Every time you touch this place,
It feels like sin.
Every time the handshake starts,
The face draws thin.
What do you know about this world anyway?

Here comes the sun,
The american sun,
In here the sun shines so bright,
Eyes blind.
What do you know about this world anyway?

Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-Ameri-Amer-American,
The eventful workouts,
Nassau club days.

Here comes the flag.
Hand-shake.
This world.....
