Toerag Lyrics - Singles - The Rifles

Walk out of the door and make my way up the street 

Cold wind in my eyes rolls a tear up my cheek 

Not a soul to be heard so no point to complain 

Least the sound of the birds compensates for the rain 

Hit the queue for the bus and then I join the line 

Same faces for the last 10 years of my life 

See them more than my friends 

I couldn't tell you their names 

Shattered glass on the floor 

Kids have run out of games 

And I don't see that's ever gonna change 

One hour passes til I'm back on my feet 

A stones throw I will be walking til I'm off of the street 

Hang my coat up to dry and settle down with the herd 

Some I really don't mind, some just get on my nerves 

Turn my back to the clock because it slows the time 

Take out a cigarette and hear the match strike 

Turn the radio on to drown the sound of the rain 

Same bands, same songs play again and again 

And I don't see that's ever gonna change 

Tell me I'm not right 

Say what you like I'm miles away 

And expect nothing changing 

Except for the name of the day 

And I don't see that's ever gonna change 

From my place of work I move away in a haste 

Time there moves slow but rushes when I'm away 

Pass a girl from my school the conversation's brief 

Gotta catch that train get myself some relief 

I meet up with friends and they knock off at six 

I pull in at five and walk about for a bit 

Watch the world go by through an empty glass 

And I know that I won't be the last 

So tell me I'm not right 

Say what you like I'm miles away 

And expect nothing changing 

Except for the name of the day 

And I don't see that's ever gonna change... 

Creep back into bed and then I pull up the sheet 

High over my head and uncover my feet 

Til the room goes dark and I'm miles away 

Jump to the alarm and start another day
