The New Age movement is a Western spiritual movement that developed in the second half of the 20th century. Its central precepts have been described as "drawing on both Eastern and Western spiritual and metaphysical traditions and infusing them with influences from self-help and motivational psychology, holistic health, parapsychology, consciousness research and quantum physics". It aims to create "a spirituality without borders or confining dogmas" that is inclusive and pluralistic. It holds to "a holistic worldview," emphasising that the Mind, Body and Spirit are interrelated and that there is a form of Monism and unity throughout the universe. It attempts to create "a worldview that includes both science and spirituality" and embraces a number of forms of mainstream science as well as other forms of science that are considered fringe.
Mattafix are a UK duo, made up of Marlon Roudette and Preetesh Hirji. Their sound is a fusion of hip hop/rap, R&B, reggae, dancehall, blues, jazz, soul and world. They won the Sopot International Song Festival in 2006.
Marlon Roudette was born in London and is the son of Cameron McVey, a British music producer, and Vonnie Roudette, a designer and artist from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. As a young child he moved with his mother and sister to St. Vincent, where he began his music career, and returned to London when he was 18. Preetesh Hirji was born in London of dual-Indian parentage and grew up in the heart of West London, where he started at Eastcote Studios on Kensal Road.
Mattafix released their first single "11.30 (Dirtiest Trick in Town)" as a limited edition on Buddhist Punk Records on 13 January 2005. However, the song never charted.
Their second single, "Big City Life", was released by EMI on 8 August 2005. It was a considerable hit, managing a number 15 in the United Kingdom and a number 1 in Germany, Poland, Austria, Italy, Switzerland and New Zealand. It also had considerable success in other European countries where it reached the top 20. It can also be heard on the soundtrack to the hit video game FIFA World Cup Germany 2006, designed by EA Sports, and was included in the NOW! 62 UK compilation, the duo's first and only song to date, to be included in the series.
Waiting for the phone to ring
Diamond necklace on my shoulder
Waiting for the phone to ring
Lipstick on my naked shoulder
It seems to be my fancy to make it with
Franky and Sue Ann
Over the bridge we go
Looking for love
Over the bridge we go
Looking for love
I'll come running to you, hey baby if you want me
I'll come running to you, baby if you want me
Looking at my hands today
Look to me that they're made of ivory
I had a funny call today
Someone died and someone married
you know that it's my fancy to make it with
Franky and Sue Ann
Over the bridge they go
Looking for love
Over the bridge we go
Looking for love
I'll come running to you, hey baby if you want me
I'll come running to you, baby if you want me
Something's got a hold on me
And I don't know what
Something's got a hold on me
And I don't know what
It's the beginning of a new age
It's the beginning of a new age

Can I have your autograph?
he said to the fat blond actress
You know, I've seen every movie you've been in
from "Pass of Pain" to "Duels of Glory"
And when you kissed Robert Mitchum
Gee, but I thought you'd never catch him
You're over the hill right now, and you're looking for love
You're over the hill right now, and you're looking for love
I'll come running to you, honey, when you want me
I'll come running to you, honey, when you want me
Can I have your autograph?
he said to the fat blond actress
You know, I know everything you've done
Anyway, I hate divorces
To the left is a marble shower
It was fun even for an hour, but
You're over the hill right now, and you're looking for love
You're over the hill right now, and you're looking for love
I'll come running to you, honey, when you want me
I'll come running to you, honey, when you want me
Something's got a hold on me and I don't know what
Something's got a hold on me and I don't know what
So you're living in fast world
See the people you've already killed
See what you've done with that machine of yours
You can't justify it, you ain't got a cause
Chorus:
It's only cos we're living in a new age
You don't know what you're like when you're in a rage
They're gonna put you away in a cage
You better start to act your age
You better start to act your age
Victims running, they are screaming
Living nightmares, they're not dreaming
They're too scared to walk the streets
The one with a gun they're afraid to meet
Chorus
You know you're killing off the race
They'll lock you away and change your face
Hatred of the new age turned your mind
Can't bear to live with the rest of mankind
When I hear.... the sound of concrete and steel
I sense a rythm, that science can't feel
I feel the beat.... of our hearts as one
I hold your colour, when my vision is gone
This power is something but the force is blind
Transmitted through a network, of your own kind
As minutes tick away.... and days become years
I know this old feeling, it's a substance in my tears
And the kids on the street
And the kids everywhere
And all I gotta say is the kids don't care
When i hear...................
I sense a rythm...............
I feel the beat...............
I hold your colour............
When you've got me running and you stop my machine
You try to tell me something, that has never been
When you stop me running, with my own pack
Untouched by passion I hear it scream under my foot slow evolution to an unfeeling block of ice made so by both force and by choice trapped in this miserable existence give me pain ritual scarification of my astral self your indulgence of my candor dissident tone shrill in my ear fucking hypocrite you're everything you hate in me I relish every drop of pain that you all inject the only feeling I trust I smile as I role up my sleeve I am the product of your selfishness greed and deceit every stone you cast upon me bruises me lovingly
When I hear.... the sound of concrete and steel
I sense a rythm, that science can't feel
I feel the beat.... of our hearts as one
I hold your colour, when my vision is gone
This power is something but the force is blind
Transmitted through a network, of your own kind
As minutes tick away.... and days become years
I know this old feeling, it's a substance in my tears
And the kids on the street
And the kids everywhere
And all I gotta say is the kids don't care
When i hear...................
I sense a rythm...............
I feel the beat...............
I hold your colour............
When you've got me running and you stop my machine
You try to tell me something, that has never been
When you stop me running, with my own pack
If love was a word, I don't understand.
The simplest sound, With four letters.
Whatever it was, I'm over it now.
With every day, It gets better.
Are you loving pain, loving the pain?
And with everyday, everyday
I try to move on.
Whatever it was,
Whatever it was,
There's nothing now.
You changed.
New Age.
I'm walking away, From everything I had.
I need a room with new colours.
There was a time,
When I didn't mind living the life of others.
Are you loving pain, loving the pain?
And with everyday, everyday
I try to move on.
Whatever it was,
Whatever it was,
There's nothing now.
You changed.
New Age.
So much fire that it burned my wings.
Her heat was amazing.
Now I'm dreaming of the simple things.
Old ways, erased.
If love was a word,
I don't understand.
The simplest sound,
With four letters.
Are you loving pain, loving the pain?
And with everyday, everyday
I try to move on.
Whatever it was,
Whatever it was,
There's nothing now.
You changed.
Know your place and ask no questions
never forget the role you play
Machine keeps pounding running forward
avoid its contact mind its way
Between two lines
I find myself now
What you may be is what they ask for
not for the one you really are
Answering in terms that you are made for
look at yourself and feel the scar
Living my life and fear existence
Too weak to fight no more resistance
(Chorus):
On which side are we standing?
Falling into a dark hole and we see no ending
The ground we are standing on is shaking
The barriers getting higher no more chance for us to
break in
I am the one that gives you sense and
you are getting more than you are allowed
When there is a problem better stay closed
the next one stands in line to kick you out
What is my choice for leaving this cage?
To raise my voice scream for the new age
(Chorus)
(Fills Lead)
Many men are wounded
And some others passed away
Let us pray for the fallen ones
Great Moon is the witness
Of the day when overcame
Let us pray to the Gods above
And together we shall reign
In the name of human kind
We die but I swear that we will return
Life’s gone but I swear that we will
reborn
Spread the word of freedom
From the North right to the South
Tell our people that peace is at hand
Welcome to the new times
Of harmony and peace
Dirty streets are filled with suits and televisions, the smell cuts a glass shore under the season, heads roll down the hill and father keeps it still, the sickness is trying to sit with me
Like a veil spreaded on the unknown
Just like silence that leaves you alone
They have searched for the signs from the sky
Trying to prove who is wrong, who is right
Still we're all alone in a world we once built
Still we're searching more and more for evermore
If we go, they will come we will see
If they come we are bound to believe
There will be time for me to see
But if all of my life is just empty dream
Lifetime's so short
Where could I find immortality
Where is my home
Where can I live my reality alone
There will be time for me to see
But if all of my life is just empty dream
I will stare at the stars Is there something watching me?
Is there life within them? Brightly they will shine so far away
Will they stare from those stars, can they see me wondering?
Will they know all about us, I just want to see if there is more
My only dream, the calling of life
I have sacrified
Where is my home
Where can I face my true destiny
There will be time for me to see
But if I am too blind so that I can't believe
I will stare at the stars Is there something watching me?
Is there life within them? Brightly they will shine so far away
Will they stare from those stars, can they see me wondering?
Will they know all about us, I just want to see if there is more
Time is here, now you'll know
Why I gave my life away
And now I'm tired and old
Time has come to free my soul
If we go, they will come we will see
If they come we are bound to believe
I will stare at the stars Is there something watching me?
Is there life within them? Brightly they will shine so far away
Will they stare from those stars, can they see me wondering?
Will they know all about us, I just want to see if there's more
I will stare, I will hope there's so much that I need to know
I will keep my faith on. Reveal the truth on time for me
Let me see, let me know why is it we are still alone
Can I have your autograph
He said to the fat blonde actress
You know I've seen every movie you've been in
From Paths of Pain to Jewels of Glory

Something's got a hold on me
And I don't know what
Something's got a hold on me
And I don't know what
It's the beginning of a new age
It's the beginning of a new age
It's a new age
