Rifles, The - Local Boy Lyrics

Prince albert xo

I used to have this song as my MySpace page music lol.

How did they get Jack Straw to star in this?

they remind me the libs

Not bad

10 years now going to see them 55 soon dennnno

Jimmy was a local boy but he's seen much more than the change in the weather
Sitting in a uniform of a three-piece suit and the ribbons from his past
Looking through a little boy at the bar with the mouth who thinks his clever now
Dreaming of a day that he goes home from a war to his childhood sweetheart

Now he don't need anyone, there's no one there for him
Just a feeling of an empty place deteriorating
Jimmy was a local boy, but he's seen much more than I'm bound to ever
A member of a dying breed that sat and wait as it all just falls apart
Dreaming of a day that's oh so long ago, that he can't remember right
There was a time a man can still be a man and be proud to use his heart

Now he don't need anyone, there's no one there for him
There was really only one
Now he misses how she sounds, he frowns, line 'em up and he puts them down
It's sad this town seems to fail to appreciate the man

Now he don't need anyone, there's no one there for him
No he don't feel any more 'cause jimmy's so thick-skinned
And a long long time ago, when he could break her heart
There was really only one
Now he misses how she sounds, he frowns, line em up and he puts em down
Its sad this town seems to fail to appreciate what he's about
Line 'em up and he puts them down
It's sad this town seems to fail to appreciate the man

they give me so many libertines vibes. both aesthetically and musically

Seen them 3 times top band top bunch of lads fucking love them x👌🏻

Good indie band, looking forward to seeing this band at Southsea Victorious festival with James Bay and the hives etc nice one

J1,19..

my wife's local on her street

YouTube shit

where is this pub? we need a few beers there !

Soccer am

This song today. NEVER forget!

absolutely fantastic live, I recommend finding a gig because it won't fail to let you down!

They're less recognised than The Enemy but I think they're better. Why have bands like The Rifles and The Enemy not gone on and broken records and headlined festivals? Mystery to me.
Absolutely love this band and this song. Followed them since I was 17, I'm 23 now and am always on the lookout for their tour dates.
Mad respect for them.

I'm 15 and they have been my favourite band of a couple of years now, I think me and my dad are going to like them a lot for a long time

Late reply but the reason they didn’t get as big as they should of done is because their record labels wanted them to change to what was seemed more popular, both declined that is why the enemy broke up tom clarke even said it at a gig in manchester, both bands would be up there if it wasn’t for their fucking record labels

that’s why tom clarke has gone solo and doing gigs every now and then, he was incredible in his solo manchester gigs

Absolute banger

Love it, reminds me so much of the jam

WOW ! was just going to say....and thank goodness !!

keen to see this live tomorrow night in London!

pozdro zip ekipa, tjmmnw

For rock and roll's sake! He looks like Doug Fieger! Damn!
