Here's a happy little tune to dance round your living room to, I hope you enjoy it's escapism into the daft for 3-4mins. It was written with my sisters wedding in mind, which hasn't actually happened yet, who knows when that will be now... we certainly don't.
Chorus
Will you splash in a puddle till we’re soaked to the knees
will you dance in a dinghy out on the high seas
will you shuffle up next to me on the shelf where we met
like two spare parts others seemed to forget


Will you climb to the top of the tallest oak tree
and profess to the world your love for me
Will you make me giggle to the bottom of my toes
Stroll barefoot where the tallest grass grows
Will you walk down the aisle flowers weaved in your hair
Dressing gown and slippers, I wonder do you dare
Will you sit crossed legged with me on a mat
and discuss amongst other things why the world could be flat

Chorus

Will you sing this song at the top of your voice
while sitting in our favourite chip shop of choice
Will you book a table every anniversary
Deep Blue in Drayton, just chips for me
When we walk down the aisle, flowers weaved in our hair
best dress on, friends and family there
you’ll look at me and I’ll smile back at you
in our forever when we say I do

# Lyrics

It’s not like I know
How to be whole
Its more a feeling in my heart that comes but goes

Its not like I see
Things slip from me
Just let my eyes fall to dark spaces in between

A sudden sense of urgency 
Reaching for the neck
With all the will you have to steal
Just try to believe it

Its not like the world
Will let me take a breath
A thousand foolish fates await the ones that’s left

It’s not going to change
It’s not going to wait
It’s challenging everything you can before too late

A sudden sense of urgency 
Reaching for the neck
With all the will you have to steal
Just try to believe

A sudden sense of urgency 
Reaching for the neck
With all the will you have to steal
Just try to believe it

A sudden sense of urgency 
Reaching for the neck
With all the will you have to steal
Just try to believe it

Try to Believe

Let Go

Wings for the future.WAV

Not really alt rock but the guitar solo at the end is fairly anarchic. 

To Fly or not to Fly 

To fly or not to fly YES!
To fly or not to fly NO! 

To fly or not to fly that is the question.    
It’s a no brainer ‘cept for the greedy and absurd.   
There’s kilos of carbon coming from engines. 
While the earth below - floods and burns

M’lady says she’s gotta fly yeah it’s in the blood            
She’s gotta have exotica - it’s there for the taking
Even though people of the world - are under the pump
And down there in the wheat fields – the crops are baking

To fly or not to fly YES!
To fly or not to fly NO! 

Hate being a gloomy carrier pigeon
But the writings there on the internet
The forecast for earth - it’s grim and turgid
Makes it dumb to fly airliner jets

M’lady says the scientists - will find a solution
There’s no need to live  - like a peasant farmer
She don’t need to feel shame - about her vapor trail
Hey she’s never been - to West Estonia

TO FLY OR NOT TO FLY

Rob Brooks suggested adding a further part for strings. Here it be, with my thanks to Rob for his kind recommendation.

Piano/String Part 2

Marina came to performing late in life although very soon after making the decision to "come out of the kitchen" she was awarded Arts Council funding, via the Escalator Project, to record a debut album, Somewhere Down The Line. Using this as a platform she has since reached audiences not previously thought possible.
Now with four albums completed she's been played on BBC6Music, BBC introducing Norfolk and Suffolk, had four tracks make the Tom Robinson's BBC6 Mixtape. Her song Cry was performed by the actor Anthony Head on ITV's This Morning.
Jan 2019, Marina, & co-writer Jules Fox Allen, won the FATEA Innovation Award alongside The Warm & Toasty Club founder, Johnno Casson, for the lottery & Arts Council funded, Memory Afternoons Project. The songs written can be heard here on SoundCloud.
Marina has played many festivals including Cambridge Folk Festival, Strawberry Fair, Norwich and Norfolk Festival.
