Official lyrics (**SPOILER**)

[markie]

There are texts on the official MK website. All !!!!

Thankyou for the tip!!

I re-read the lyrics yesterday, and while I've never been more sceptical about the music of a forthcoming MK album (having been warned by Good on You Son), I also don't think I've ever seen lyrics that appeal so much to me. Every song seems the resonate with me, many of them on a very personal level. I'm super excited about that, and just hope that the production won't ruin the experience.

I find them quite negative most of them...

Really? I couldn't see much difference in terms of "negativity" in comparison to other albums. Actually, I was looking for some irony in Good on You Son, but having heard Mark talk about it in Italy, it seems that the song's really supposed to be as positive as it comes across. Also, "negative" lyrics tend to make for great songs. The whole concept of blues is based on negativity, if you want to call it that.

OES had negative lyrics, but it was a pretty good album!

Very true Rail King.  Most of the OES album is pretty "negative" (if you want to put it that way) but the songs are great and aren't depressing sounding.  It's perhaps best to wait until we hear the music because they go together.

In my opinion, it's that slightly dark, sardonic and melancholic thing I feel suits Mark best.

[Robson]

I do not understand all the lyrics but the album probably says more about MK than about the modern world.

yes, all what real life actually is and on what he is just so good at!
It is just his ability to show the meaning of life in a few of these lines about "little" things like feeding a dog is...
...but you know, they are only the little things anyhow...

[Robson]

I have a dream. And I hope Drover's Road will be the second part of Before Gas And TV that I love...
