lyrics

It was a long time ago in a book or fairytale,
It was a long time ago in a book or fairytale,
You're a princess in a castle,
I'm just a prince trying to get laid.

I tried to be charming, I tried to charm you,
Oh I tried to be charming, be a prince for you,
But I'm as charming as a toad,
And you only kiss frogs don't you.

The three blind mice, they're all singing the blues,
Oh the three blind mice, they're all singing the blues,
They can't see each other,
But in the dark that don't matter to me and you.

La Belle Dame sans Merci, she says she's true,
Oh la Belle Dame sans Merci,
Spends her nights with the other knights too,
Well I'm no Keats but,
I'd write a thousand odes to you.

Cinderella, Thumbellina, and Snow White too,
Oh Cinderella, Thumbellina and that pale bitch too,
They're all chasing after me,
But when you smile, they all get the blues.

by Greg Steps

Always A Drifter sounds like rain battering a rusty barn at the bottom of a wide open Australian field. That is to say it sounds pretty freaking great. Kevin Dolan
