Toe Rag

Walk out of the door and make my way up the street
Cold wind in my eyes runs a tear down my cheek
Not a soul to be heard so no point to complain
At 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 ten 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

I don't see that's ever gonna change

One hour passes 'till I'm back on my feet
A stone's throw I will be walking 'till I'm off of the street
Hang my coat to dry, 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

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

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

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

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

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

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
'Till the room goes dark and I'm miles away
Jump to the alarm and start another day
