Start Jamming...
Rated at 15 and making their debut on this week's Top of the Pops comes the Tom Robinson Band.
The band I predict big things for in 1978.
Their debut single, 2468.
Run away!
[G#m] [F#m]
[E] [A]
[E] [F#m]
[E] [A]
Drop my truck, make way to [E] the motorway station!
[C#m]
The [E] lake is coming along [A] left hand side.
Headlight shining, driving [E] rain on the window frame.
Little young lady's [A] daughter's tension arrives.
And it's a [G#m] 2468 in the terrain!
[F#m]
Hear my [G#m] radio tricking [A] on through the night.
Three, five, seven, [G#m] nine, we're on the white line.
[F#m]
Run away, [G#m] sun coming up with [A] the morning light.
We'd get there in pretty [E] any day, we old stallion.
[D] This cold trip tells us how we [A] gotta eat, don't you?
Ain't no use standing out for [E] the band companion.
[D]
Ain't nobody getting the better [A] of you, no.
[G#m] 2468, ain't never too late.
[F#m]
Hear [G#m] my radio tricking [A] on through the night.
Three, five, seven, [G#m] nine, we're on the white line.
[F#m] Same old [E] motorway sign coming up with [A] the morning light.
[G#m] [F#m]
[E] [A]
[E] [F#m]
[E] [A]
Well, there ain't no route you could choose to [E] live, the two of us.
[F#m] Ain't nobody know when [Em] you're acting right [Am] or wrong.
[A] No one knows if we're always [E] leading nowhere.
[D] Gotta keep [E] on driving home [A] with your album.
[G#m] 2468, ain't never too late.
[F#m] Hear my [G#m] radio tricking on [A] through the night.
Three, five, seven, [G#m] nine, we're on the white line.
[F#m] Run away, [G#m] sun coming up with the [A] morning light.
2468, [G#m] ain't never too late.
[F#m] Hear my [E] radio tricking on [A] through the night.
Three, five, [E] seven, nine, we're on the white line.
[F#m] Run away, sun [E] coming up with the [A] morning light.
Run away, [E] sun coming up with the [A] morning light.
That same old motorway [Em] sign coming up with the [D] morning light.
[A]
[G#m] [F#m] [B]
[A]
[E] [F#m] [E]
[A] Yeah, yeah.
Well, there ain't no route you could choose to live, the two of us.
[G#m] 2468, ain't never too late.
[F#m] Just me and my radio [A] tricking on through the night.
Three, five, [G#m] seven, nine, we're on the white line.
[F#m] Run away, sun coming [A] up with the morning light.
And it's [G#m] 2468, ain't never too late.
[F#m] For me and [E] my radio tricking [A] on through the night.
