Freak Radio - November 2020

Mahan Mahan's Favorite Tracks  December 2020

If I was playing a 'Marc Freak' gig of my electronic based songs, this is the setlist I would most probably play

Marc Freak for the Electro Lovers

Battle of Titans 02/2021 : The Gay Silhouettes | Marc Freak | Myrh & Primaloop

What we did for money!

TASTE
The way your hair just dangles
A sticky knot of scandals
Grab hold of my love handles
Grab hold of what you can

A smile or I'm mistaken
Excuse me ma'am but are you taken?
You're very good if you are faking
Faking like your tan

CHORUS
Taste - You told me that you liked the taste
You didn't want to leave a waste
They paid you for a little taste
They paid you just a little

You really are a giver
Excuse my aching liver
I'm flowing like a river
I'm sorry about your eyes

You're gasping like you mean it
I'm gaggling like a half-wit
You know where you want to sit
Those magnetic thighs

CHORUS

I'm really sorry if it really hurts a little
I'm really sorry if they told you I was little
You may look hardened but I know you're really brittle
Push just one more time, thrust just one more time

Was that your backbone that cracked?
I can't believe what you packed
I've had a heart attack
I'm struggling with the pace

It's time to close the curtain
The future is uncertain
Take this to wipe the dirt
That's peppered on your face

CHORUS

Taste

If the kids wanna dance
Hot shoes - tight pants
High spirits - cheap bear
My eardrums - Can't hear or won't hear
I'm not here

CHORUS
If the kids wanna dance let them dance, let them dance
If the kids wanna dance let them dance

I'm tired - so what?
Party - I forgot
Can't take the pace
But I'm trying to catch the bass, deep bass
In yer face

CHORUS

One step, one fall
I'm proud I've gall
Raise your finger in the air
Let the world know you care
I don't care, I don't care

CHORUS

If The Kids Wanna Dance (Let Them Dance)

Misread eyes, misread signs
Regurgitated happenings from bad to the sublime
Static stare, fools beware
I've finished searching something that was never really there

CHORUS
I don't have time for this commotion
Puppy dogs and fluffy things
Designed to mess with me and my emotions

Clapped out heart, bombs aloud
I think that I'm exploding with my head up in the cloud
Dodge the trash, thoughts are rash
I don't have time for silly games excuse me whilst I dash

CHORUS

"Got" at last, read and weep
Commotion is commodity and violence is just cheap
Claim the prize, take the rise
My ever growing ego is transcending to the skies

CHORUS

Commotion is commodity and violence is just cheap

Puppy Dogs And Fluffy Things

Rough video - https://youtu.be/5gaYofokLkw 

A grey hair - I turned the other cheek
If I turn away for long enough I won't find what I won't seek
Be I wise or be I clown?
It even hurts a little bit when I am sitting down

CHORUS
Whoever you are I'm older than you think
I'm glad that you think otherwise - I'm truly tickled pink
Whoever you are I'll gladly take the praise
I'm slowly growing older but I hope its just a phase

Won my heart all torn and soiled
It has beaten and then burst more than anyone in this world
Have a laugh - give a smile
I'm an educated mind but mentality of a child

CHORUS

Tickled Pink

JC's son came up with the word 'Lasermaze' - we liked it so much, we used it as the starting point for a song!

LYRICS:

Keep it in the corner
In the shadows
In a worn-out suitcase
Hiding in the corners
You can find me in a maze of light

Keep it for the weekend
It’s only two days to Friday
Speak it, you’re among friends
You’re a beacon in the dead of night

I see you dressed in white
We are in a maze of light

Lasermaze

Hiding Faces

"What an image of future want and need" I mutter in my glass
Watching the people come and go I feel the bottle sure won't last
Everything looks so fine when soaked in wine, I'm soaking up the spite
If I could ask you out... well I thought about it and I think I might

Stylised people watching
Faintly erotic touching

CHORUS2
Captured in a video
Now I can't get rid of you
Not that I would want to
I'm really besotted by you
All the people come and go
Only half of which I know
Perhaps I've been here for too long
Maybe that's where I went wrong?

If I could design the perfect woman I would surely design you
All the best bits of all the passers by I videoed (and drooled)
I've possibly built you up to be someone that does not truly exist
But anyway its been fun watching and drinking until I got pissed

Stylised people watching
Faintly erotic touching

CHORUS

Stylised People Watching

Here we are, in Wales, in another lockdown! 
The best cure for the blues is, of course, loud guitars. So here is another collab from Llanpsych https://soundcloud.com/llanpsych and myself. Fans of Tom Petty may recognise the tune (at least we hope so!).

Tez played all the brilliant guitars and drum track. I rewrote the TP lyric slightly, sang it and added bass. 
We hope you enjoy!

We're In Lockdown

Well, we're in  lockdown
We can't leave the town
I could take you up to Llandridnod Wells
But we're all locked down

I'm standing on my ground
Because we're all homebound
Gotta wear a mask, avoid the beer cask
And we're in lockdown
Can't have my friends around

(I won't lock down)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't lock down)
Hey, we've all gone to ground
And I must lock down

Well, I'll wash my hands
And I can't see no bands
We all miss the pub and the restaurant grub
We can't leave the town 
Because we're all homebound
And I must lock down

(I won't lock down)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't lock down)
Hey, I've just gone to ground
And I am locked down

(I won't lock down)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't lock down)
Hey, I hate lockdown

(I won't lock down)
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
(I won't lock down)
Hey, we've gone to ground
In our Welsh compound

We're In Lockdown (Collab with Llanpsych - using a Tom Petty tune)

Whoa Don
Where have you gone?

In the back room
Of a new salon?
All the dancers
Are woebegone
Help them find dance music
In the great beyond
Whoa Don
Yeah get it on
Baby shake those cakes
Easy bake

Mr. Cornelius
Can’t you see our need for you is serious?
Pick a song and send the dance delirious
Don’t you know you are so
Dear to us
Oh Don Cornelius
Mister hip luxurious
Damn she moves like a snake
Slow motion heartbreak

Here comes the train
Had no idea you were in pain
Should have made our love for you
Much more plain
While you were still
In the frame
Riding the train
Mister Soul champaign
Mister Soul Champaign

Oh look at those shoes
She is the news

Where have you gone?
In the back room
Of a new salon?
All the dancers
Are woebegone
Help them find dance music
In the great beyond
Whoa Don
Yeah get it on

Don Cornelius (Lyrics & Vocals Jon Lock)

Let's Kick Next Year's Ass (Before It Does It Again)

Let's kick next year's ass
Let's kick next year's ass
before it does it again

I'm not lying I think next year is going to be worse
this year was an ambulance and next year could be a hearse

I'm going into this thing feeling like a blank verse
the only future I can see is looking so perverse

Let's kick next year's ass
Let's kick next year's ass
before it does it again

I'm not lying I think next year is going to be tough
but I'm not worried, I like the weird stuff

Let's kick next year's ass
Let's kick next year's ass
before it does it again

Let's Kick Next Year's Ass (Before It Does It Again)

CHORUS

The Things That I Love (And The Things You Hate)

There's this pesky voice and I'm hiding it
I don't do that much, its my mental crutch
I'm all madness and saliva
I confide in her, I'm inside her

It's a sickness and paranoia
It'll destroy her, I'll enjoy her
Hold on tight we're already falling
Can't you tell we burn in hell?

I'm the crazy son and the psycho
Did you see the sign that said "out of his mind"?
I took a photo, wore the T-shirt
You didn't seem to mind we're walking blind

CHORUS
The hat has come off, its truly enough
The heat is intense and so is the silence
Just save it.  Just save it
The fight has been fought, the germs have been caught
Its dragging us down into the ground
Just save it.  Just save it

I don't know what we've both been using
I'm losing her but I still choose her
Be still my piercing headache
I hear something break, there's just so much I can take

There's this pesky voice and I'm hiding it
I don't do that much, its my mental crutch
I'm all madness and saliva
I confide in her when I'm inside her

CHORUS

We've all got someone to save

Save It

The Ones That We Love | Myrh & PrimaLoop

Prolific musician, author, photographer and oddity.  With influences ranging from the lofi pop of Guided by Voices, the gothic melodrama of Nick Cave, the glam of Bowie and the nakedness of Iggy Pop - this is Marc Freak.  Former frontman of Freak Circus and Dead Joe.  An experiment in DIY and lofi.  The odd bum note here, the even odder bum note there.  But with art do we care?
