Going out of our Minds 06:31
lyrics
buy track
There's a sound in the neighbourhood, Its the sound of us breaking up Cos we want to go outside It lays you out It's understood It shatters the glass, its cracking the wood Hitting you on the blind side People in four small walls, are braced for the storm People in four small walls, losing their cool Now you're, standing up, standing down, standing up Don't it make you feel small Breaking up, or breaking out, Break it down, Break it down, Break it down Like a cannonball Get high, get tall Don't stop for all the signs Go climb, go fall, just get using your time Living in boxes, in boxes, and you're standing in line Living in boxes, in boxes, Going out of our minds You could be rich, you could poor Suing for peace, or ready for war But coming up with your hands tied You might be a mess, or starting to thrive Full of regrets or singing with pride Trying to get on the outside Left hook, right hook, baby uppercut Are you spoiling, are you here for the fight? Left foot, right foot, stepping up enough King of the day, or Queen of the night? Standing up, standing out, standing out Don't let it make you feel small Breaking up, or breaking out, Break it down, Break it down, Break it down Like a cannonball Get high, get tall Don't stop for all the signs Go climb, go fall, just get using your time Living in boxes, in boxes, and we're standing in line Living in boxes, in boxes, Going out of our minds Get high, get tall Don't stop for all the signs Go climb, go fall, just get using your time Living in boxes, in boxes, and we're standing in line Living in boxes, in boxes, Going out of our minds

Burst Your Bubble 04:36
lyrics

The strange thing about folk and how you see them Is its only once they're gone that you know how much you need them The funny thing about me and you Is if I had you here and now We would laugh just how we used to Despite the passage of time Despite the change to all our lives You'd be a sight for sore eyes Thought I was breaking down But now its good to be alive I don't care how long Got my arms wrapped round Take your coat and sit you down Sit down, sit down, sit down Tell me your troubles And I don't care if you're wrong Sometimes we all hit ground Break what we found And if you think that makes you bad I would love to Burst your bubble Strange thing about folk and how you see them Is you make your own mistakes before you learn how to forgive them The funny thing about the state of your health Is that words don't mean a damn unless you forgive your self Through the passage of time All the pain will subside You're still a sight for sore eyes Thought I was breaking down But now its good to be alive I don't care how long Got my arms wrapped round Take your coat and sit you down Sit down, sit down, sit down Tell me your troubles And I don't care if you're wrong Sometimes we all hit ground Break what we found And if you think that makes you bad I would love to Burst your bubble Burst your bubble pop, pop, pop, bubble I was breaking down But now its good to be alive Burst your bubble pop, pop, pop, bubble I was breaking down But now its good to be alive You've been walking around with your head on eat ground Like you ain't never been broken before Take heed of your own advice Admit you're hurt and let go of your pride And move on It's been breaking you down Cos you lost what you found But you've done tougher than this before Take heed of your own advice Admit you're hurt and let go of your pride And move on Burst your bubble pop, pop, pop, bubble I was breaking down But now its good to be alive

Dream of changes in the atmosphere Just make it to spring and Blossoms will appear How'd ya get me out of here Can't get off the floor Can't get past the fear These days, weeks, months Seem tougher than all the rest Fight on for those you love And remember these days the best Get up, get out, back on your feet, that's all Rising up with the sun Is how we get things done Get up, get out Stand up and breathe Thats all I heard you had a fall Well how'd you get so tall Hardly been myself this year Not been so kind, to the face in the mirror Take heart in all that got your here Cos soon we'll have spring And Blossoms will appear These days, weeks, months, harder than all the rest Keep fighting on, for those you love, you love the best Get up, get out, back on your feet, that's all Rising up with the sun Is how we get things done Get up, get out Stand up and breathe Thats all I heard you had a fall Well how'd you get so tall Get up, get out, back on your feet, that's all Rising up with the sun Is how we get things done Get up, get out Stand up and breathe Thats all I heard you had a fall Well how'd you get so tall

There's a boy, he's occupied with his young brother care Hey kid, can you survive, you need a childhood as well He took a job cleaning cars he's got bills to pay Help him blow out the candles, turning 16 today It's no sweat, I'm alright Somedays you fold, somedays you fight It's no sweat, I'm all right We've all gotta go grow up sometime You got your pain and I got mine What did you do to your skin Did you cut till you bled? Yeah but I'm not just a kid with a cloud over his head Cos this is how I'm feeling you're lucky I'm not dead man Folks up and left us for a crack house instead man It's no sweat, I'm alright Somedays you fold, somedays you fight It's no sweat, I'm all right We've all gotta go grow up sometime You got your pain and I got mine We've all gotta go grow up sometime You got your pain and I'll embrace mine

Reaching out for the black keys Honey can't you see they sound like Flowers in the spring to me Behind the clouds its always sunny Stick with me I'm sitting in the rain so patiently She said you sound kinda funny to me But you can hang out in my garden You're moving kinda slow and it's sweet You know I think you're kind of handsome Reaching out for the black keys baby Now you see they're shining like Diamonds in the coal And they're sweet On the floor there's a bug Hey Darlin' there's and insect running Come and see How it's shiny and free You seem kinda pretty to me Can I hang out in your garden You're sitting kinda close to me I'll play a tune now if you want one Reaching out for the black keys Honey can't you see they sound like Flowers in the spring to me Behind the clouds its always sunny Stick with me I'm sitting in the rain so patiently You're pretty and I'm funny baby Lets hang out in the garden You're sitting kinda close to me There's a kiss here if you want one

Sleep Sleep My Darling 04:45

Are you staring through the night Does the clock say three Maybe a gentle word from her Will send you to sleep And if the worries of the world Still spin through your head my sweet I'd simply blow across your brow Send them off with the breeze So you could Sleep, Sleep, Sleep My Darling And should one day you find Yourself away from me Just Sleep Sleep Sleep My Darling As if you're in my arms One day I'll give you to the world With your cup of dreams so full But how'd I give you to the world When the world is so cruel If I had just a single prayer To speak by the candlelight I'd send it to find you To comfort you at night So you could Sleep, sleep, sleep My darling And one day you find Yourself away from me You just sleep, sleep sleep My darling, As if you're in my arms Sleep, sleep, sleep My darling When one day you'll find Yourself away from me Just sleep, sleep sleep My darling, Sleep, sleep sleep My darling, As if you're in my arms

Can't Avoid The Crash 04:15
lyrics
buy track
Its fine, fine, if we don't communicate You never ever really heard my words Never talk till its too late High time to admit to new mistakes Such an easy Guy You know, I'll take a grudge right to the grave Get over, get over, get over it How can we take it back Lines in the sand You can turn your back You can't heal before the break Feel a pain you never had You can hold on to the hate But you can't avoid the crash Blood, blood, it always pulls you back Got me pumping through your heart But you never understand A mothers son or a daughter to a man Too busy staring at the sun To see the moon was in your hand Get over, get over, get over it How can we take it back Lines in the sand You can turn your back You can't heal before the break Feel a pain you never had You can hold on to the hate... But you can't avoid the crash.

Dream Big 05:41
lyrics

I was out climbing high, playing the game When the white collar stuck But corporate life was a lie Like a false hearted love The things that you do And who you're meant to be This may be for you But it was not for me Things can change, things can change with some love and some pain You get back what you give, You get back what you put in all the same These are the things that you do But do you feel free It may be for you But it was never me Never too old Never too young To stare down the sun To Dream Big Never too old Never too young To learn how to run To Dream Big These are the days and these are the seeds that you sow You need the earth on your hands This is the only time you will know So mean what you do Say what you mean This could be you Could be you and me Never too old Never too young To stare down the sun To Dream Big Never too old Never too young To learn how to run To Dream Big There's a boy, there's a girl There's a man and a woman who try Keep your heart pumping blood Give your soul to the loves of your life The things that we do To make us feel free This will be you This will be you and me Never too old Never too young To stare down the sun To Dream Big Never too old Never too young To learn how to run To Dream Big

Roll Away 05:22
lyrics

I was a kid once Who knew it all But didn't understand Like I had a plan Too busy fighting with fools| Instead of talking to friends Then I had a friend Just make a wish there's a gift and a little something special from my magic tin And roll away... Roll away A little older and Your life is great Love who you want Take all you can take Careful your heart don't break Cos this boy is the man Make no mistake Then I made mistakes Get my phone to confess My friend help me through this mess Can you take me away How did you go and let things get so far? Pack yourself a bag And take as much of your life That will fit In the back of my car We'll roll away Roll away I'm a Father now, these kids know it all But do they understand You might be a woman You might be a man But you treat people right You do what you can You hold their love in your hands So Babe you see how I got here today We could stay like this forever And together we'll adventure For the rest of our days We'll Roll away Roll away,

Lucky All The Same 04:59

Young days feel like eternity Then you close your eyes look back Was it just a dream Climb your life like you climb a tree Don't look down, look around Enjoy the breeze What can you do You got a high strung head What can you do When you're looking but just can't see Young days feel like eternity Till you're looking back and you see it was just a dream I got my life, I got my way I'm at the top of my game Got no time, be on your way But you be lucky all the same Take a seat and take some tea You're not listening Not listening to me Alone in your anxiety So low together When together is all you should be I got my life, I got my way I'm at the top of my game Got no time, be on your way But you be lucky all the same I got my life, I got my way I'm at the top of my game Got no time, be on your way But you be lucky all the same Waste your life and take no blame You're at the top of your game Got no plan, you got no name But you be lucky all the same

Time, tick ticking away I know it's been said before I know it's cliche But she's mine At least for today She talks so fast there are words but I don't know what she's sayin' Right now she's my baby And I just want to say like today Time, tick, tick, tick, ticking away Hey there goes my boy He's grown a full inch since yesterday And I'm your best friend in the world Least thats what I say I could be your hero right now But it's hard to remain Right now you're my babies And I just want to say like today Thats why I'm fighting back the dawn Tryin' to stop a new day I'm propping up the moon Trying to keep it in place Cos the earths gonna spin And the days keep tick tick ticking away One day you see the suns gonna rise It's gonna take you away Time, it's no friend to me If I knew how I could stop it then I would I would build a machine We'd have the best day in the world Then we'd do it again With one pull of a lever Make your childhood days never end Cos right now you are my babies And I just was to stay like today Time keeps tick tick flying so fast And I know things will change Thats why I'm fighting back the dawn Tryin' to stop a new day I'm propping up the moon Trying to keep it in place Cos the earths gonna spin And the days keep tick tick ticking away One day you see the suns gonna rise It's gonna take you away Thats why I'm fighting back the dawn Tryin' to stop a new day I'm propping up the moon Trying to keep it in place Cos the earths gonna spin And the days keep tick tick ticking away One day you see the suns gonna rise It's gonna take you away Thats why I'm fighting back the dawn Tryin' to stop a new day I'm propping up the moon Trying to keep it in place Cos the earths gonna spin And the days keep tick tick ticking away One day you see the suns gonna rise It's gonna take you away

Put My Bones into the Ground 05:57

Goodbye my life, I know the pain you feel will fade with time It's just loss Love and loss Have kids, live life My head will forget their names But I know they're mine It's just the sounds I lost Sometimes we all get lost And you will be me, just like I was you I felt your touch I heard your sound You are how you live, you are what you choose Take the time to pray when I'm not around Put my bones into the ground Let peace be found Goodnight, sleep right I rocked my babe to sleep, you was my light Now you have your own See how they've grown Forgive each sleight Sometimes the life you lead It won't be nice But you're not alone And you'll soon be home And you will be me, just like I was you I felt your touch I heard your sound You are how you live, you are what you choose Take the time to pray when I'm not around Put my bones into the ground Let peace be found "I always say to myself I'm playing it for you Mum, Even though you're dead and gone, but I still think about you. You carry on living in the past, when you get to my age; if you're still around. No, you, you do live in this period, for you... as far as you're concerned, and then there's me, before you living in my time. And I can't get away form it! Thats what I'm coming to. But its what you can put into it. Do you know what I'm trying to say? It's a funny old world, and thats the fact of it" And you will be me, just like I was you I felt your touch I heard your sound You are how you live, you are what you choose Take the time to pray when I'm not around Put my bones into the ground Let peace be found

"Marks first album was about roots, family, home, life, love, earthy vibe; but his latest album is electronic, rock, pop, its like some awesome gig in outerspace; think Peter Gabriel, David Bowie, Fun Loving Criminals and Beck all wrapped into one" Nix Dadry.

This is music with a story to tell, that wants to take you on a journey. ... more
