Marmalade - Falling Apart At The Seams Lyrics






Until you came, it felt like my world
Was fallin' apart at the seams
All of my childhood dreams were empty and meaningless
Until we kissed it seemed like the rain
Was turnin' my hopes into sand
Ah, I was a yesterday man until I found you

It was as plain as the nose on my face
That I was heading nowhere
Then into my life came an angel of grace
Sunlight in her hair
Now love is the strangest emotion
'Cause just when
I want you to stay
Seems like you're changing, don't turn me away
Don't turn me away

Until you came, it felt like my world
Was fallin' apart at the seams
All of my childhood dreams were empty and meaningless
Until we kissed it seemed like the rain
Was turnin' my hopes into sand
Ah, I was a yesterday man until I found you

I'm like a man in a mantle of black
Who just saw the light
Who cast off the shadow when you gave him back
The meaning to life
Now love is the strangest emotion
'Cause just when I want you to stay
Seems like you're changing, don't turn me away
I want you to stay

Until you came, it felt like my world
Was fallin' apart at the seams
All of my childhood dreams were empty and meaningless
Until we kissed it seemed like the rain
Was turnin' my hopes into sand
Ah, I was a yesterday man until I found you

Marmalade Falling Apart At The Seams Comments
  1. K.... H....

    RIP Dean Ford, vocalist Marmalade is the best

  2. T.... B....

    The Trump Administration’s new Theme Song!

  3. A.... C....

    I like Marmalade but it's a funny name for a band

  4. J.... B....

    The opening guitar riff sounds like the first few notes of the BBC soap EastEnders theme, written nearly nine years after this song was released. Did the group consider suing Simon May,perhaps?

  5. R.... R....

    I associate this song with my first love. My brother-in-law's niece Rosalind from Bath!

  6. f.... f....

    Great sound, unmistakably mid 70s 👏🏻

  7. n.... ....

    1:36 "Hello"

    n.... ....

    Yes where did she spring from!

  8. L.... ....

    Regarding the comments about Sandy Newman "replacing" Dean Ford, it didn't quite go that way. Drummer Alan Whitehead had been fired in 1971, and bassist Graham Knight left on his own in 1973. In 1975, those two formed the band that appears in this video, with Sandy Newman and a guitarist named Charlie Smith, who I assume is the fourth guy in this video, the one playing the Telecaster to Newman's right; they were called "Vintage Marmalade" as Dean Ford's band "Marmalade" was still in existence (Junior Campbell and Pat Fairley had left by this time as well, 1971 and 1972 respectively). For a brief time in 1975, both bands co-existed under their respective names. In 1975, Dean Ford's band Marmalade finally called it quits, and Vintage Marmalade dropped the "Vintage" from their name, and continued on as simply "Marmalade", since there was no need to use the "Vintage" any more as they were the only "Marmalade" still playing. And why not, they had more original Marmalade members (Whitehead and Knight) than Ford's band did (only Ford himself). So Dean Ford never "left" Marmalade, he was with them until the demise of the original band, and Sandy Newman didn't "replace" him, he was with Vintage Marmalade from their origination.

  9. r.... f....

    Favourite song of theirs!

  10. J.... R....

    It should have been a bigger hit . . . would have been a bigger hit if more stations had larger playlists back in the day.

  11. D.... ....

    "Then into my life came an angel of grace, DANDRUFF in her hair".

  32. C.... O....

    MUITO LINDA ESTA MÚSICA

  33. I.... H....

    I think they lost the plot with this pop crap...

  34. T.... O....

    Great song

  35. D.... B....

    This is the only hit Marmalade had with Sandy Newman as lead singer but he does an excellent job as Marmalades lead singer

    D.... B....

    Not the same without Dean though.

    D.... B....

    @Steve Craythorn I Agree

  36. R.... B....

    What a deadshit audience; looks like they're watching a chess game.

    R.... B....

    I've been to live taping before. The audience is asked not to move around and especially don't look at/for the cameras.

    R.... B....

    That’s how the Top of The Pops audience was told to behave.

  37. J.... C....

    Then I found.me and this. Now all . Is sewn up. Lovely.happy days

  38. T.... ....

    national treasure!!

  39. D.... B....

    Sandy Newman took over from Dean Ford as lead singer in I think 1975

  40. I.... C....

    Until I found u

  41. M.... S....

    Yet again I have Ken Bruce on Radio 2's Pop master to thank for reminding Me of this Nice Tune from this Scottish Pop/Rock Band!.

  42. I.... I....

    It was my favor song when i 14.

  43. D.... B....

    Brilliant love Marmalade

  44. B.... B....

    You can't beat The Marmalade. Even without Dean Ford and Junior Campbell it's great. This song was a big comeback hit for them. I'm half Scottish descent I guess that explains my bias for Scottish bands. Or else they are just a whole bunch of great bands!

  45. D.... B....

    Marmalade made some of the best songs ever Dean Ford is a brilliant front man

  46. A.... W....

    Ok song...but Dean Ford could have done better x

    A.... W....

    Dean Ford was amazing xx

    A.... W....

    Totally agree. I don't know much about Marmalade. I was around 10 when I heard the song Reflections of my life. Heard it here on YouTube. Fell in love with it and Dean Ford. Why did he leave the band?

    A.... W....

    Lynn Kirsch
    Dean Ford didn't leave the band, he continued until 1974 and by this time he was the only original member. He wasn't interested in singing the old songs on the nostalgia circuit and because the bands popularity was over, he broke up the band. Graham Knight and Alan Whitehead formed a 'new Marmalade' with Sandy Newman in 1975 and they had a hit with Falling Apart in 1976.

  47. p.... ....

    One of my favorite 70's songs

  48. L.... D....

  58. I.... O....

    i'm sure the lead singer was with The Chris McClure Section.he was the organist.Sandy?

    I.... O....

    Ingrid Ogilvie yep

  59. E.... K....

    where was dean ford ?

  60. L.... ....

    Great song! I remember first hearing this song when I first learned how to swim during the summer of 1976. It was at a pool at the JCC in Trenton which had just opened up. I remember hearing this song along with "Afternoon Delight" by the Starland Vocal Band and "Get Closer" by Seals and Crofts. Great days in my life and great memroies!

  61. Y.... D....

    I believe this song was a top ten song in England and Germany, but in the United States I don't think it cracked the Top 40 unfortunately. It was my favorite song for 1976.

    Y.... D....

    It made the easy listening charts in the U.S.A. and made the Top 50 of the Billboard Hot 100, IOt was their last charting single on the U.S charts.

  62. A.... S....

    Remember this from the Spring of 1976. Did well to have a Top 10 hit considering original singer Dean Ford had left the previous year

  63. J.... D....

    Wow you can find anything on YT!! Didn't think anyone knew this song but me. 999 you are right. Spent many years as a radio dj listening to tone deaf PDs making decisions.

    J.... D....

    Great memories, my friend, you can be sure!

    J.... D....

    I found this by randomly clicking at a website listing a lot of bands, singers and songs. One of many great songs I found this way.

    J.... D....

    An old tune & well known Jeff, though can't fault your taste. The original band toured the dance halls of Scotland(& the rest of the country) in the 60s along with Love Affair, Amen Corner, Desmond Decker, Geno Washington plus many more, playing to crowds of only three to four hundred youngsters. Happy memories of the Cragburn dance hall in Gourock Scotland.

    J.... D....

    roared with laughter and RECOGNITION at your comment "didn't think anyone knew this song but me". That was EXACTLY the thinking of my mind when I first started visiting this wonderful site.SO MANY times I had songs in my memory from school days that I was NEVER to see in any record shop and I almost began to think I had imagined them until I came across YT.

    J.... D....

    Ya I was 16 with my mate's drinking cider in dublin we all loved it

  64. j.... o....

    Pop songs as good as it gets!!

  65. S.... W....

    Love this song

  66. B.... B....

    Good song - ahh the memories :-)

  67. A.... R....

    Great song.

  68. R.... ....

    How comes a song like this did not make No.1?

    R.... ....

    changei .Because at that time there was so many great songs around to listen to! And I'm so glad to have been a part of it. The dance floor we're never empty.

    R.... ....

    Because it isn't that great. Very generic. No Dean Ford, you need more?

    R.... ....

    anakina1 rubbish

  69. R.... ....

    Love this song.A real classic.

    R.... ....

    and you NEVER hear it on the old timey radio or anywhere else for that matter.

  70. 3.... ....

    Classic.

  71. S.... P....

    Don't miss their 2013/14 UK tour (52 dates). Saw them last night in Oxford. Fantastic. New album worth buying too. First new tracks since 1979.

  72. R.... C....

    I like Walking A Tightrope as well, but there is no way in the world that you would get me on one!

  73. 9.... ....

    It is unfortunate this was not a big hit here in the states. Never trusted the people who run the music industry in this country.

  74. J.... G....

    That is Graham Knight there, from the famous, original, five, on backup guitar and vocals.

    J.... G....

    John G. Lewis Alan Whitehead on drums too.

  75. l.... ....

    Fantastic, I only knew "Reflections of my life" but this song is good too. You can learn something every day I guess.
