Jamie T
The Old Style Raiders
[Verse 1]
Loaded up town 'til your feet fall off
Hold yourself down 'til you can't come up
Hard times in the promise land
Looking for a thief in the common man
Every little sign is a thing to you
Every line is just another clue
Was it the butler
Or the boy in blue
That made you steal the heart
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause it's not fair to grow inside
When from the outside in it looks alright
But inside out life, it seems unkind
And when the walls they scream like killing dogs
'Cause it's not fair to tell a lie
Forever unwashed in the sin so rife
And if you didn't know bеtter
You'd swear sometimеs
That you never knew love
[Chorus 1]
Toe the line
Hard to find
Told to fight for something you love in life
[Verse 2]
Worry deep down to your skin and bones
Mould yourself now that the picture's stopped
Hard yards in the castle sounds
Slipping through the fingers of a modern man
Every little sign is a thing it's true
Every time it's another you
Was it your father or your mother's booze
That made you fall apart?
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause it's not fair to grow inside
When from the outside in it looks alright
But inside our life, it seems unkind
And when the walls they scream like killing dogs
'Cause it's not fair to tell a lie
Forever unwashed in the sin so rife
And if you didn't know better
You'd swear sometimes
That you never knew love
[Chorus 1]
Toe the line
Hard to find
Told to fight for something you loved in life
[Chorus 2]
Toe the line
Cold but kind
Call out to to find your something to love in life
[Verse 3]
Have you ever had to walk away
From someone's cold heart in the light of day?
My town
My fault
I'm feeling lost in haze
I've never had to walk away
But can I be on your mind?
I've seldom lost my way
You never knew nothing lies
Have you ever had to walk away
From something that you loved yesterday?
I saw the 3-4-5
And he stayed for the rest of me
I never meant to walk away
Now can I be on your mind?
I've seldom lost my way
'Cause you never knew love
[Chorus 1]
Toe the line
Hard to find
Told to fight for something you loved in life
[Chorus 2]
Toe the line
Calm but kind
Call out to find your something to love in life
[Outro]
In life [x12]
