lyrics

It's been winter time for a long old while,
Electricity Bill's gone and given up the fight,
And I'd be happy to be feeling fine,
All the truths I've told have turned to lies,
In these modern times.

This whole city is made of new paint,
The sunlight slips through the cracks in my headache,
I've been sleeping on Memorial Park benches,
Just trying to see what I bought with the hours I've been spending.

I've been living on the library steps,
Just trying to see what I bought, move I make next,
And you keep saying I can't keep living like this,
Well come on darling, no shit.
In these modern times.

In these modern times,
A man's gotta keep his feet to the ground,
In these modern times,
A man's gotta drink his whiskey down,
In these modern times,
A man's gotta learn to toe the line,
In these modern times,
A man's gotta learn, learn to survive.

I've got money bleeding my out of my pocket,
You could count everything I own on one hand if you wanted,
And I don't know if the suns coming round,
I guess it'll come up, then it'll go down,
On these modern times.

Always a Drifter (EP 2014)
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
