Toerag
The Rifles

New track from the forthcoming second album. Lyrics pieced together from various live 
with sometimes dodgy sound quality, hence some mistakes. Cheers, Garry Lever.

D
?????????????????????????????????????
D
Right from my eyes, runs a tear on my cheek.
Bm
Don’t want to be heard, so I can’t get the blame.
Bm
Can’t hear no words, I would say its gonna rain.

D
Get the queue for the bus, and then I join the line.
D
Same faces for the last 10 years of my life.
Bm
See I’m bored of my friends, I couldn’t tell you their names.
Bm
Shattered glass on the floor, kids are running again.

D
One hour passes till I’m back on my feet,
D
A stones throw and I’ll be walking till I’m off of the street.
Bm
Hang my coat up to dry, settle down with the herd.
Bm
Some I really don’t mind, some just get on my nerves.

D
Turn my back to the clock because it slows the time,
D
Take out a cigarette and hear the match strike.
Bm
Turn the radio on to drown the sound of the rain.
Bm
Same bands, same songs play again and again.

D                       Bm
And I don’t see how its ever gonna change

D
From my days at work I move away in a haste.
D
Times never slower then when she’s running away.
Bm
Pass a girl from my school but conversations brief,
Bm
Gotta catch that train get myself some relief.

D
I meet up with friends and then I’m off at six.
D
Up and in at five I walk around for a bit.
Bm
Grab up all of my change and move an empty glass
Bm
Herds through that door, glad I won’t be the last.

D
See I just act quiet so you’ll think I’m thick
D
Said the same last night and we were getting on it.
Bm
Find a closing door and stumble out in the rain,
Bm
I look up to the sky and watch it start to sleep.

D                       Bm
And I don’t see how its ever gonna change

G       A   Bm                    G         
    Bm
Tell me I’m alright, say what you like from miles away.
    E                      G              A           D
And expect nothing changes except for the name of the day.

D                       Bm
And I don’t see how its ever gonna change
And I don’t see how its ever gonna change
And I don’t see how its ever gonna change
And I don’t see how its ever gonna change

D
Turn back up my road and make my way up the street.
D
Lines scream in my ear as I walk this beat.
Bm
Fall into my door, I fumble round for my key.
Bm

D
Creap back into bed and then I pull up my sheet.
D
High over my head and uncover my feet.
Bm
Till the world goes dark and I’m miles away.
Bm
Jump to the alarm to start another day.
D
