North Atlantic Drift is a 2004 album by Ocean Colour Scene The title track is political commentary on American cultural imperialism its support by the UK governent, particularly the then impending US-led invasion of Iraq, which was opposed by the majority of the British public. (OCS had shown their anti-war tendencies with the previous protest song Profit in Peace and associated with Paul Weller). "Meanwhile Rome burns" appears to be a reference to the September 11 Attacks, anology with the Sacking of Rome, "Between the Euphrates and tha other river now the home of the Devil and the liar" is a reference to Iraq and US President George W. Bush. The first track, I Just Need Myself was played by Virgin Radio and charted, though the other two singles Make the Deal and .
