Marty McFly

M. Sharratt, 02/04/2014

Lyrics

I’ve played the victim but I’m a villian

In your expired flame

If I’m howling at your window

You simply draw your shades

Oh oh I want to be Marty McFly

Oh oh oh

Oh oh If I could you know that I would find out where we went wrong

Place the date into the dashboard of the delorean

There’s a photo of us laughing

At a three word phrase

Looking closer, my arms around you babe

Well they slowly fade

Oh oh I want to be Marty McFly

Oh oh oh

Oh oh If I could you know that i would find out where went wrong

Place the date into the dashboard of the delorean

Across The Sea

03:25

M. Sharratt

Lyrics

I set out for Nova Scotia

I built up the hope that I might hold ya

There you were

Somewhere Across the Sea

Patiently

Waiting for me

I placed my ship upon the ocean

I was dividing desire and devotion

And there you were

The northern star in my sky

Heaven’s try

To open up my eyes

When I pulled into your harbour

I ran my sea legs off to wherever you were

But there you are a picture in a frame

Numbers and a name

I was too late…

There you were

Somewhere Across the Sea

There you were

So gracefully

There you were

Patiently

Waiting for me

Waiting for me

Hugo’s Hammering Heart

03:51

M. Sharratt

Lyrics

A careless tongue

Machine undone

Left waiting for the yard

I’ll raise the dead to find a part

To repair this heart

I’ll define desire

Stand and be strong

I won’t stop dancing

As I’m recklessly falling in and out of love

The gears of our guardians slowly lose grip on the world

So hand me that hammer and get out of my way

I’ve got some work to do

A broken set

The Architect

Left dancing in the dark

Raise your sights love

Upon the scope of a telescope

Scream Oh My God

There must be a reason we are here

With all this love

There must be a reason to be here

Find love, give love, make love and build it up

Find love, give love, make love and build it up

Sometimes it’s so easy to say why blood rushes through these veins

Sometimes it takes a little courage

Sometimes it takes our breath away

Find love, give love, make love and build it up

Find love, give love, make love and build it up

Love, Love, Love

Until this heart stops pounding.

If You Feel Like Hurting

04:08

M. Sharratt

Lyrics

God damn me

This bottle of whiskey is turning my tears into fire

Don’t you dare try to save me or rearrange me

I’ve dug myself in too deep this time

Tonight, I feel like hurting

I can’t do a thing

But I’m willing to change my mind

So that flowers don’t always mean bad news

I’m over my head, I’m in too deep

I can never believe or leave

Tonight If you feel like hurting

Well than I can’t do a thing

But I’m willing to change your mind

So that flowers never mean bad news

As much as I mean to you I can’t change your mind as much as I try

I never find the words to say

I never find a way

Hit And Run

04:42

M. Sharratt

Lyrics

Your green eyes are shining wild tonight

Could you blame it on me?

You’ve said you’ve got to go but you’re taking your time

Please won’t you blame it on me?

Yeah cmon don’t battle with their bad advice

Stay as long as you’d like

Hey alright, don’t make me sleep outside tonight

Counting the stars to your eyes

Stay

In the clarity of passion

In the words you don’t say but you mean to

Stay

You don’t need to hit and run

You’re just dancing with your old ways

Tongue tied and my hands feel just the same

I blame it on you

As you’re fading I’m breaking all my rules

What the hell am I supposed to do

{CHORUS}

Do You Wanna Fall

03:53

M. Sharratt

Lyrics

I’m dressing up my poor purple heart

Jumping in a cab underneath the stars

My friends make this look easy

Over the lions gate under city lights

I can my ship is coming in tonight

You finally found me

Do you wanna fall in love

Do you need a reason why

Do you wanna fall in love

Baby, I’d love to try

Floating by day to bloody day

I find myself getting in my own way

My friends make this look easy

{CHORUS}

It’s funny how my heart beats harder than I think it can when it’s in the palm of your hands

It’s funny how my heart beats harder than I think it can when it’s in the palm of your hands

Broadway

03:10

M. Sharratt

Lyrics

In between Broadway and the place you came from

You’d think you might have picked up some things along the way

You line them and knock them down babe leave them stranded

You’re living life like a balloon that’s lost from the parade

Tell me love what is it you’re running from?

What can you not erase?

If it’s love then you’ll never ever find your way

To your great escape

You’re living life like you don’t know what love means

You’re living life like you don’t care to find out

Someday, somehow, someone is going to get through to you

Just like that balloon you will fly away

{CHORUS}

Headed Off To War

03:56

M. Sharratt

Lyrics

I don’t know how you march off to battle when you could stay safe here with me

But you grit your teeth, lower your sights on running into the heavy rain

I don’t know why you do this to yourself

Why do you do this to yourself?

I try so hard but you’re headed off to war with yourself

Taking the best of me and heading off to war with yourself

I’m no ally, I’m sure as hell no foe

I just don’t want any part of this war

You can save your assaults, save my faults

This is on your heart alone

{CHORUS}

Waiting On A Heartbreak

04:42

M. Sharratt

Lyrics

I’m waiting on a heartbreak

Standing in my own way and letting you down

And you have been carrying all the weight

You take us through everything

Pull the wool over my eyes in love

It could be so damn different if I could stay inside a brand new headspace

But I’m waiting on a heartbreak

Even with the best of all your advice

You know I find it hard to play nice

I simply apologize my dear

It could be so damn different if I could stay inside a brand new headspace

Where the heartbreak never comes when you’re around

Feels like i’m dancing with the devil watching angels in your hair

I swear the heartbreak never comes when you’re around

I am safe inside the idea of you

In and out of the rain again I’ve been leaning on my friends

I believe in love I just don’t belive in me

In and out of the rain again I’ve been leaning on my friends

I believe in love I ust don’t believe in me

{CHORUS}

FROM ANDREW BABUIN’S SONG “RAIN”

You know I try so hard to make you happy

You know I try so hard to be your brighter day

It seems the best I do is delay your sunshine

Will you let it rain

Powerlines

03:40

M. Sharratt

Lyrics

Under a streetlight, on a rooftop, through a telephone line

It doesn’t matter where I scream

Oh it’s crazy it’s all coming down to the wire

Living in the shadow of this dream

Well I get lost sometimes in between the powerlines

With every step I take I lose a part of me

I might be losing my mind here but I’ll never lose the thought of you

I won’t hesitate to knock you out of my way

When nothing is going to me feel safe

I’ve got my eyes closed

My back is up against the wall

Until there’s nothing left at all

In a parked car with old love on the radio dial

It doesn’t matter where I scream

Because I cannot hide from the rain that falls

Living in the shadow of this dream

{CHORUS}

Nearly Gone

03:52

M. Sharratt

Lyrics

My father built the building we’re in now

My best friend gave you warning but you held on to your doubt

So I turned back

What made you say that

I was on the edge of town

I was Nearly Gone

You used the past to bring me back around here

You reeled me in

You tracked me down

You took the run out of my legs now

You reeled me in on my heart

But I was Nearly Gone

From this little small town

Not exactly easy to escape

I’m not built for any goodbyes

So I just turned and walk away

{CHORUS}

I was nearly gone from all the war of words

I was out of range

I hold for you a dose of the truth

Fire in my veins

If you want me to fight

I’ll fight for you baby until my dying day

I won’t let you get away with settling for any less than my heart

Starting singing You won’t ever change me in my heart

You won’t ever change me in my heart

Numb

—

M. Sharratt

Lyrics

I wake to the seasonal tragedy

The falling of the leaves

All I am is numb

Everyone is dressed in black

Under heavy steps those leaves crack

All I am is numb

To the stones that surround me now

And the rain that is falling down on all of us now

As we lower our friend and change the feeling of home

The air is Musky

The cliches are flowing through tears and alcohol

Man, I’m glad I’m numb

I wake to the sound of my fathers voice

Beautiful six string noise

All I am is numb

I ran down the flight of stairs

I looked but no one was there

All I am is numb

{CHORUS}

Spin me around the kitchen

Turn up the music and dance with me again my friend

Seasons will come, Seasons will go

I am spinning without you

This is going to hurt like hell

Please won’t you let me stay NUMB

Down

—

M. Sharratt

Lyrics

There’s a dog on the front porch waiting for you

There’s a pretty face to come home to you

There’s a meal in the kitchen that’s filling the air

There’s not a worry to clouds your care

Hey yeah this is alright

Hey why am I waiting for fall?

Down

Because I don’t know how to live here in this moment

Down

Because I don’t know where to go from here

Down, down, down

I think the dog will run away

Those looks will surely fade

I am just sitting here waiting

I hate to think this way

You know I’d love to change

But I’m just sitting here wasting away

Hey now this is alright

Hey I’m so damn comfortable

Down

Where I’m living I’ll never give in to optimism

Down

Because I do not know where to go from here

I’m going to bring you down

There’s no doubt about it now

I’m going to bring you down

What do you think of me now?

{CHORUS}
