'At The Roller Rink' by Skeletal Shakes
I saw him on Friday hangin' by the store on Sixth Street
Sunglasses in a white tee, rolled up sleeves
Leaning back on the wall like Jimmy Dean
Talking to some girls with their skirts hitched above their knees
Kind of smiling but his eyes rolled away from the scene
That’s when I caught him, he was lookin' at me
And that boy said “baby won’t you wait for me
Down at the roller rink tonight”
That boy said “baby wont you wait for me”
I’ll be waiting there alright
Cause I’ve never met a boy like Scotty
I’ve never met a boy like Scotty Marino
I’ve never met a boy like Scotty
And now I’ve met that boy I won’t let him go
Met me after class and the girls couldn’t believe their eyes
He took me to the diner where the cool kids hide
When he put on my song I switched to overdrive
When Gina came over he said he didn’t wanna know
Put his jacket on my shoulders, told to the gang to roll
We got on his motorcycle and hit the road
And that boy said “baby won’t you wait for me
Down at the roller rink tonight”
That boy said “baby wont you wait for me”
I’ll be waiting there alright
Cause I’ve never met a boy like Scotty
I’ve never met a boy like Scotty Marino
I’ve never met a boy like Scotty
And now I’ve met that boy I won’t let him go
I saw Suzy today she gave me some bad news
The army’s leaving with a new recruit
I had to find him; I had to know the truth
And that boy said “baby don’t you wait for me
Down at the roller rink no more”
That boy said “baby don’t you wait for me”
But I’ll be waiting there for sure
Cause I’ve never met a boy like Scotty
I’ve never met a boy like Scotty Marino
I’ve never met a boy like Scotty
And now I’ve met that boy I won’t let him go
I’ve never met a boy like Scotty
I’ve never met a boy like Scotty Marino
I’ve never met a boy like Scotty
And now I’ve met that boy I won’t let him go

‘Shake Your Heart’ by Skeletal Shakes
Kickin back your compliments, I don’t even notice I do it sometimes
I’m calling for something else
I’m ignoring what’s right in front
And I wonder how they can be happy in themselves
when we’re surrounded by this suffering and hardship
And people going without
And the light of the world looks a little colder to me
As the waves they crash, wash over me
And i see that
Love can be a stranger
Every time I look I wander straight into danger
People around say the trouble that I have is that my hearts kept in bubble wrap
Love comes a little bit closer
Just when I know it’s not supposed to
Just when I understand
You’re scrawling someone else’s name in the back of your hand
Hiding in the rush of the day we only notice the same streets we walk,
The compassion we all were taught seems blinded by the city walls
I knew a man who walked to clear the thoughts of the love he lost
But what’s this sense of entitlement that means a young man can kick him down?
And the light of the world looks a little colder to me
As the waves they crash, wash over me
And i see that
Love can be a stranger
Every time I look I wander straight into danger
People around say the trouble that I have is that my hearts kept in bubble wrap
Love kicks me straight into action
It sends me out on a whim of attraction
Just when I understand
You’re scrawling someone else’s name on the back of your hand
Do you drift off, forget the wider world?
Whilst I appreciate the sentiment, I can’t detach myself
Do you drift off, forget the wider world?
Whilst I appreciate the sentiment, I can’t detach myself
And the light of the world looks a little colder to me
As the waves they crash, wash over me
And i see that
Love can be a stranger
Every time I look I wander straight into danger
People around say the trouble that I have is that my hearts kept in bubble wrap
Love kicks me straight into action
It sends me out on a whim of attraction
Just when I understand
You’re scrawling someone else’s name on the back of your hand
