    my cat's vet recommended this band to me and he said "pay attention to the bass line", when I heard it I was like "but this is a machine/synth bass line... oh wait--what??"

Mark is a regular Bass Player in the Princess Trust House Band and why is that? Because He's The Best The Worlds Best and lastly Mark should be United By Her Majesty' The Queen and become Sir Mark King that Man fully Deserves It.

    I'm not proud, I was wrong
    And the truth is hard to take
    I felt sure we had enough
    But our love went overboard
    Lifeboat lies lost at sea
    I've been trying to reach your shore
    Waves of doubt keep drowning me
    All the dreams that we were building
    We never fulfilled them
    Could be better, should be better
    For lessons in love
    For restless eyes egos burn
    And the mold is hard to break
    Now we've waded in too deep
    And love is overboard
    Heavy hearts token words
    All the hopes I ever had
    Fade like footprints in the sand
    All the homes that we were building
    We never lived in
    Could be better, should be better
    Lessons in love
    If we lose the time before us
    The future will ignore us
    We should use it, we could use it, yeah
    Lessons in love
    Lost without love
    Lessons in love
    When will you ever learn
    Lessons in love
    When there's nowhere left to turn
    Lessons in love
    Don't let your spirit burn
    Lessons in love
    I'll wait 'till you return
    All the dreams that we were building
    We never lived them
    We could lose it, we should use it
    (Lessons in love) lessons in love
    All the homes that we were building
    We never lived in
    Could be better (could be better), should be better
    Lessons in love
    If we lose the time before us
    The future will ignore us
    We should use it, we could use it (good god)

      R.I.P. Boon, a guitar, a man, a soul, a member or one of the best ever groups. Not against follwing members, but the original 4 were just amazingly complete.

    Si mal no recuerdo y la memoria no me falla, Mark toco junto a George Harrison y en el tributo a Freddie. Otro gran músico británico qué aun se mantiene y toca bien, una leyenda viviente de la música en general. Saludos cordiales desde Chile. 🤗🙋‍♂️🇨🇱

    Mark King the most underrated bass player & singer of all time I think not just 80s, but what a fantastic time to be a teenager and to get too hear & watch these types of videos when MTV was heck a good!
