    'You are the music while the music lasts.'

    T.S. Eliot

    Our Latest Single

    "Symphony Of Silence"

    is Out Now!

    You’re behind my bars of rest

    Finally I can hear my breath

    As the silence Loudly screams

    Here’s the harmony of dreams

     

    Deafen sounds you’ve never heard

    Silence says way more than words

    Waves of sound and trembling anger

    So much noise but still no answer

     

    Hush Listen to my battle cry

    As I sing you my lullaby

    Come hear the defiance

    Of my symphony of silence

     

    Symphony of Silence 

    Symphony of Silence 

     

    Sound of vowels frustrate my peace

    Now the silence will be unleashed

    You’re the most absurd distraction

    It’s only noise but there’s no action

    'Today's News for Tomorrow's World' is our third album and a collection of our original songs, plus one of our favourite covers thrown in for good measure.

    ​

    The album is the result of hard work, countless hours of song-writing and an equal amount of fun. Enjoy!

    Inspired by legends past and present, this is a band that works hard and play harder. 

    Fully involved in the song writing process, these guys understand music and love it!

     

    Their relaxed personas and seemingly effortless performances derive from many,

    many hours of laughter, sweat and no tears!

    "...We have come up with our own style & the songs we write are about daily things in our lives..."

    Get Out Of Bed

    THE WORLD'S
    GONE MAD

    Written by MNB ©2017

    ​

    The world’s gone mad

    So says my Dad

    What has the world come to

    We need a breakthrough

    We need a breakthrough

     

    The world’s gone mad

    It’s war after war

    Just plain confusion

    I don’t get it anymore

    Not anymore

     

    Kids gone crazy on their phones

    Brexit breaking EU bones

    Random people saying hi

    Stranger danger is online

     

    Terror’s happening on the street

    Shooting bullets as a treat

    Teachers and their quiffed back hair

    Living life and they don’t care

    Fake News

    Written by MNB ©2017

    ​

    How can we trust what we listen to

    How can we know  that is the truth

    Is this just another view

    You can’t keep us in your Zoo

     

    Why should we trust what we listen to

    Why can’t we know the real truth

    Is this just another view

    You can’t keep us in your Zoo

     

    Who can I trust now for all I know

    You’re feeding us fake news

    Who can we trust now for all we know

    You’re feeding us fake news

    Get Out Of Bed

    ​

    Wake up in the morning when I want

    Get Out Of Bed! Get Out Of Bed!

    Can bunk school if I want

    I Play Dead! I Play Dead!

     

    Hear Mum screaming off her head

    Get Out Of Bed! Get Out Of Bed!

    Someone's coming up the stairs

    I Play Dead! I Play Dead!

     

    Mum says get yeah get out of bed

    Get Out Of Bed! Get Out Of Bed!

    I want my breakfast in my bed

    I Play Dead! I Play Dead!

     

    I Play Dead! I Play Dead!

    Just don't wanna get out of bed

    I Play Dead! I Play Dead!

    ​

    I don't care I'm not leaving here

    This is my world I won't shed a tear

    I don't care you're my biggest fear

    This is my world  please get out of here

    And I Play Dead!

    Climate Change

    Written by MNB ©2017

    ​

    They say the world is in a melt down

    They say the end is coming around

    We cannot change but slow it down

    We need to stop this fooling around

    Cause the world is changingAnd I don’t want to be drowned

     

    It is a race against the time It is a real life eco crime

    We need to work together We can still change the weather

    We can come up with measures And keep all our treasures

     

    All we need is you to be aware Cause there’s no time to spare

    All we need is you to be aware Too many gases in the air

    We’ll keep on singing till you care

     

    They say the time is running out

    They talk about big floods and drought  

    Can’t we see the science is true This is down to me and you

    Cause the world is changing It is all over the news

     

    Climate change is not just the weather

    Please Mr Trump let’s make it better

    Global warming is really not a hoax

    So please help saving our planet & folks

     

    We need to stop it together We got to make it better

    We need to work together We can still change the weather

    So Absurd

    Written by MNB ©2017

    ​

    Wash out pink and green colour hair

    Phones not to be seen or heard

    Tuck in shirt and do up ties

    These school rules seem so absurd!

    Absurd!

     

    Boring gold and silver studs

    I like the girls better with make-up

    Why can’t boys  have ears pierced up

    These school rules seem so absurd!

    Absurd!

     

    No Rolled Up skirts for the girls

    Jet Black shoes are really nerd

    Why can’t we call teachers dudes

    These school rules seem so absurd!

     

    Cuts no shorter than number two

    Even girls get to have a bun

    No shaved hair lines as a parting

    It just takes out all of the fun!

    Absurd, So Absurd!

    Long Live The King

    Written by MNB ©2016

    ​

    Sometimes he wonders of the good in society

    Sometimes he wonders where’s it’s gone

    It’s way to easy to ignore choosing not to see

    The life of others but our own

     

    He sees the hungry and the poor 

    Helps them on the way

    He sees the lonely in the cold

    He gives them hope without a pay 

    Puts a smile on their face

    He’s made a difference to this day   

     

    He doesn’t need a throne 

    He doesn’t need the fame

    No one will ever know

    The good his done today

     

    Long live the king

    The king without a crown

    HELTER SKELTER

    Written by Lennon & McCartney Â©1968

    ​

    When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
    Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
    Till I get to the bottom and I see you again

    Do, don't you want me to love you
    I'm coming down fast but I'm miles above you
    Tell me, tell me, tell me, come on tell me the answer
    Well, you may be a lover but you ain't no dancer

    Helter skelter, helter skelter
    Helter skelter

    Will you, won't you want me to make you
    I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you
    Tell me, tell me, tell me the answer
    You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer

    Look out
    Helter skelter, helter skelter
    Helter skelter
    Look out, 'cause here she comes

    When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide
    And I stop and I turn and I go for a ride
    And I get to the bottom and I see you again, yeah, yeah

    Well do you, don't you want me to make you
    I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you
    Tell me, tell me, tell me your answer
    You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer

    "The old believe everything,

    The middle-aged suspect everything,

    The Young know everything"

    This is our second CD...

    It is a result of hard work and perseverance. 

    When we started out on our journey, we were told by many that we were ‘too young’ and got turned down a lot. Well, we didn’t give up.

    ​

    By the time you read this, we will have played over 60 gigs at all sorts of venues; from music festivals to charity events, from garden parties to film festivals! We are proud of every song we write and release, after all, they are about our lives and are our voice in the world!

    ​

    So here’s to all who believed in us, and to those who made it harder too – otherwise we wouldn’t be here. Enjoy the epic sounds of the MAGICIAN’S NEPHEW BAND!
