audio link

I have built an app that requires audio content but there are 45 files which push it over the Phonegap max file size so I have tried to access them via external links in my JQuery Mobile file. These work but the page opens in the app itself with no way back to the text page. I have seen some posts on this subject but none that actually help with my situation. The code below is a typical page:

<div data-role="page" id="page7" style="background-image:url(images/pageBackg.jpg)">
  <div data-role="header" data-add-back-btn="true">
    <h1>A New Heaven</h1>
    <a href="index.html" data-icon="home" class="ui-btn-right">Home</a>
  </div>
  <div data-role="content" class="contentStyle">
  
<p>(To...on Active Service)
<p><a href=" https://soundcloud.com/ian617/a-new-heaven-01" class="vidButton" data-role="button" data-icon="audio">Play poem</a>

  <br />Seeing we never found gay fairyland
  <br />(Though still we crouched by bluebells moon by moon)
  <br />And missed the tide of Lethe; yet are soon
  <br />For that new bridge that leaves old Styx half-spanned;
  <br />Nor ever unto Mecca caravanned;
  <br />Nor bugled Asgard, skilled in magic rune;
  <br />Nor yearned for far Nirvana, the sweet swoon,
  <br />And from high Paradise are cursed and banned;
  
  <br />-Let’s die home, ferry across the Channel!  Thus
  <br />Shall we live gods there. Death shall be no sev’rance.
  <br />Weary cathedrals light new shrines for us.
  <br /> To us, rough knees of boys shall ache with rev’rence.
  <br />Are not girls’ breasts a clear, strong Acropole?
  <br />-There our own mothers’ tears shall heal us whole.

<li><a href="#page3">Preface</a></li>
<li><a href="#page4">Introduction</a></li>
<li><a href="#page5">Poems</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
  </div>
</div>

Both the audio and video open in the app itself!
Any help will be gratefully appreciated.
