Mattafix Lyrics
All I wanted was to live without the middleman.
All you needed was a chance to say, "I told you so".
When you're cold and battered all you want is to know you matter to someone.
And I had to throw away all the plans we made and now these days.
With marks against my shoulders I feel like I'm older than I am.
All I want right now is to be my own child.
Do you think it makes me a better man just to know I can be alone a while?
With marks against my shoulders I feel like I'm older than I am.
I am.

Their first full single, "Big City Life", released by EMI on 8th August 2005 was a considerable hit, managing a #15 peak on the official UK chart, a big feat for a UK R&B/hip-hop group, and topped the charts in Germany, Czech, Austria and other European countries. Their third single, "Passer By" was released on 24th October 2005, unfortunately missing the UK top 75. The single preceded their debut album "Signs Of A Struggle", which was released a week later on 31st October 2005.
The group have toured with the likes of Jamiroquai and Joss Stone on their UK tours. The fourth single from their debut album, "Signs Of A Struggle" was "To & Fro", which features backing vocals from former Sugababe Siobhan Donaghy. The single was released as a download only single on 13th March 2006.
Big City Life debuted at #19 on the Australian Music Charts and reached #1 on the New Zealand Singles Chart.
Signs Of A Struggle was a Triple J feature album in April 2006.
In April 2010, Marlon Roudette made a video appearance where he spoke about recording and making the record in his home-based studio. However, via Facebook, it was announced that Roudette and Hirji had gone separate ways, due to their different new ideas for future projects, which has brought abundant attention to fans. He is yet to come up with his new artist name; whether to stay with the name Mattafix, or choose a new stage name; perhaps his own. "Mattafix presents...Marlon..." was a quote from a late 2010 YouTube video, as an updated possibility for his album title and/or stage name. Marlon Roudette has confirmed that the new album is "not a radical shift but definitely different. More instrumentation and more in depth musical compositions." Marlon Roudette has stated that the album is pretty much completed, but the album is still being "fine tuned". His first solo album Matter Fixed was released on 2 September 2011. His sophomore effort Electric Soul on 8 August 2014.

All I wanted was to
Live without the
Middleman
All you needed was a
Chance to say, "I told you so"
When you're cold and
Battered all you want
Is to know you matter
To someone
I had to throw away all
The plans we made and
Now these days
With marks against my
Shoulders I feel like
I'm older than I am
All I want right now
Is to be my own child
Do you think it makes
Me a better man just
Mo know I can be
Alone a while?
I had to throw away
All the plans we made
And now these days
With marks against my shoulders I feel like
I'm older than I am

I remember i first heard mettafix on my brother's mp3 player, back then i didn’t know what he was saying and one year earlier while i was passing very bad times of my life i found mettafix again after all those years and all the beats would take me back to my childhood and make me laugh and the next minute i would cry.
