When's that wealth gonna trickle down to me.
I'm still poor as far as I can see.
You said it would be okay.
Should be better every day.
All I really had to do
was give my vote to you.
When's that wealth gonna trickle down to me.
I'm still poor as far as I can see.
Some of us have life real tough.
Others have more than enough.
Help from you is surely due.
You only help the wealthy few.
When's that wealth gonna trickle down to me.
I'm still poor as far as I can see.
You took me for a ride.
Shouldn't have taken your side.
It's clear enough to see.
That wealth won't come to me.

This time last week was gonna fly away.
I didn't want to leave I wished I could stay.
Could see my plane from the airport bar.
Soon I'd be gone you'd be getting in your car.
Well I didn't wanna go away
it was the end of my holiday.
I didn't wanna go away
I'll be back again one day.

Should've had another drink and got in your car.

Gotta Get Away

The politicians are creating an atmosphere of fear.
It's got me so worried I can't even drink my beer.
You and me we've gotta get away.
Heh girl let's hit the road today.
My wife says not to worry it's gonna be fine.
Why then is she drinking way too much wine.
You and me we've gotta get away.
Heh girl let's hit the road today.
The rich are getting richer with every new tax break.
Poor people sleeping rough it makes my heart ache.
You and me we've gotta get away.
Heh girl let's hit the road today.
You and me we've gotta get away.
Heh girl let's hit the road today.

That's What I Believe by Markham Monk
You're a long long way from home
heading down a different road.
You're a long long way from home indeed.
You've left your girls behind
this world is so unkind.
I hope one day you'll see us all again.
Sun shines moon shines
wish you were here to shine
right next to me.
Sun shines moon shines
one day we'll see you shine
That's what I believe.
Sun shines moon shines
wish you were here to shine
right next to me.
Sun shines moon shines
one day we'll see you shine
That's what I believe.
Wish you could find your way home
but you've headed down a different road.
You're a long long way from home indeed.
You've left your girls behind
this world is so unkind.
I hope one day you'll see us all again.
Sun shines moon shines
wish you were here to shine
right next to me.
Sun shines moon shines
one day we'll see you shine
That's what I believe.
Sun shines moon shines
wish you were here to shine
right next to me.
Sun shines moon shines
one day we'll see you shine
That's what I believe.

Love This River

I love this river.
It's so beautiful.
Watch the water glide on by.
It's really rather cool.
I'm often here
when things all go wrong.
Sitting by the river
my fears are soon gone.
Ooh ooh love the river.
Ooh ooh it's so serene.
Ooh ooh it feels so good.
Ooh ooh like a pleasant dream.
I go there in winter.
It's cold and it's grey.
Still love this place
in every single way.
I go there in summer
watch people play.
Feel heat around me
every single day.
Ooh ooh love the river.
Ooh ooh it's so serene.
Ooh ooh it feels so good.
Ooh ooh like a pleasant dream.
Ooh ooh love the river.
Ooh ooh it's so serene.
Ooh ooh it feels so good.
Ooh ooh like a pleasant dream.

He hides his emotion from her every day.
He hides his emotion in every way.
He hides his emotion from the whole damn world.
He hides his emotion so she's been told.
But she don't seem to comprehend.
They've nothing in common it's gonna end.
One day soon he'll be out of there.
He's got no emotion so he don't care.
She thinks her emotion is a mighty fine thing.
One day she's down and the next day she'll swing.
She shows her emotion in many a way.
She shows her emotion every day.
But she don't seem to comprehend.
They've nothing in common it's gonna end.
One day soon he'll be out of there.
He knows no emotion so he don't care.
But she don't seem to comprehend.
They've nothing in common it's gonna end.
One day soon he'll be out of there.
He knows no emotion so he don't care.
He don't care.
He don't care.

Markham Monk Leipzig, Germany
I like all types of music.
American and British music have been my main influences.
I was drawn to
Country music when I lived and traveled in the USA during the early 1980s.
These days I am mainly drawn to writing music in a easy listening country pop style although I also like writing in a slightly more country rock or pop rock style.

Nostalgia brings a beautiful peace. Annika's songwriting is melancholic but comforting as with her singing, delicate and angelic. The Cello is heart melting and the vocal harmonies and guitar playing are enchanting. That's why I love this album.
