Sounds like chains — текст песни (Graham Parker)

(The backing vocals at the ends of the lines are sung twice)

Intro C#m A (twice)
C#m A
I got to break this armour, cutting off all the feeling (don`t wear it)
It`s like a melodrama, everybody`s scene stealing (just bear it)
It`s always the same old number, they never let you out of school
(it`s nothing)
Well I gotta gun that`s loaded, I want to hurt some fool (don`t shoot it)

CHORUS
C#m B A B
Well The woods are full of wardens,
C#m B A B
they are digging up remains
C#m B A B
It feels like the big stick that smacks of oppression
B (G#m7) C#m
And it sounds like chains

Repeat intro

I wanna bite the hand, bite off the hand that fed me (don`t eat it)
I want to turn the knife, turn the knife that bled me (you need it)
You`ve got it all wrong, you never heard what I said (don`t worry)
Well I got a gun that`s loaded, it`s not pointing at my head
(Don`t rush it, don`t hurry)

CHORUS 2
No-one can keep these ropes around me, or take the blood out of my veins
I`ll just pull the trigger back as the volume gets stronger
And it sounds like chains
E B C#m C#m
Instrumental then Sounds like chains 4 times then Oooh Chains and
more instrumental bits.

CHORUUS 3
Nothing hurts me any longer, there isn`t room for any pain
I`ll just pull the trigger back as the volume gets stronger
And it sounds like chains

Oooh chains, sounds like chains, ooh chains, sounds like chains
(repeat and fade)
