lyrics

I'm standing
And so it starts
I'm speaking
But words don't last
From what I see now
Five miles off course from the accolade
Who's to blame now
For the changing tides in this soft parade?

Is this the Simon Says of all the ones who stand alone?
Are we all waiting for the day when it's all gone?
For all the daughters that are safe from what you wrap us on
We stand here waiting
Are we all gone?
Are we the waiting?
Are we all gone?
Are we still waiting?
Are we all gone?

And you might just recognize
What's shoved fiercely into our lives
Looking at the busboy standing right next to you
There's people dancing, feet bathed on the shore
An August Rush, the waves fulfill the bore
Set your speakers, bring out your colours
Grant us this feeling, share it with others
Give us a sign now
Give us a sign now
I'm not gonna sleep here and waste going home
I'm not gonna sleep here and waste going home
I'm not gonna sleep here and waste going home

Is this the Simon Says of all the ones who stand alone?
Are we all waiting for the day when it's all gone?
For all the daughters that are safe from what you wrap us on
We stand here waiting
Are we all gone?
Are we the waiting?
Are we all gone?
Are we still waiting?
Are we all gone?

There's no plan
We don't want to
We don't want to behave like the clericals
Shifting through our timetables
Fearing the respectables
Bringing out the smile before the kings of sickened law
Silver in pocket, wasteful needs
Grateful empire, set your desires
Check mate on the growing age

Is this the Simon Says of all the ones who stand alone?
Are we all waiting for the day when it's all gone?
For all the daughters that are safe from what you wrap us on
We stand here waiting
Are we all gone?
Are we the waiting?
Are we all gone?
Are we still waiting?
Are we all gone?

about

Marty Was Right Lisboa, Portugal

Time travelling is heavy! The reference to Back to the Future is obvious, as it should be. Marty is in fact one person, coming from Lisbon, Portugal, which was a long time ago obsessed with the science fiction trilogy that dwells on alternate realities and how to avoid them. Loosely defined as guitar-driven indie rock, it's hard to know if it's the guitar doing the singing or Marty himself ... more
