'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
