Turin Brakes are a modern folk pop duo comprising two friends Olly Knights and Gale Paridjanian, hailing from Balham, London, signed to the Source label. Turin Brakes have often been compared to many of the New Acoustic Movement's bands spawned in the late 90's such as Elbow, Starsailor, I Am Kloot (who actually were a support band for Turin Brakes on their Ether Song tour) and the Norwegian band the Kings of Convenience. Their debut album "The Optimist LP" (2001) was nominated for the Mercury Prize that same year. In 2003 "Ether Song" got to #3 in the UK album charts and spawned a Top 5 single "Pain Killer". Further commercial success was not achieved.

Mind Over Money Lyrics
Turin Brakes
Mind over money bent over backwards
Light up my life like a very last cigarette
Time after time dear we will just lie here
Staring at ceilings it doesnt really matter where we are
Wearing a smile like its going out of style
Look at your self , theres nothing in there
Just put points on a grave stone
Can u see yourself sinking
Staring at ceilings it doesnt really matter where you are
Thats alright I warned myself keep blood on the inside and nowhere else
up on a shelf thats where I need to be la da da dee
I need to get Something I cant sleep forever
Internal combustion can that really happen?
I take it back yeah whatever I did yeah
I didnt mean it I was only joking
But what does this matter in the grand scheming sky
All that I multiply adds up to nothing
thats alright I warned myself keep blood on the inside and nowhere else
up on a shelf thats where
I need to be la da da dee
