Eddi Reader - Cinderella's Downfall lyrics

When I’m drinking you go from prince to king
When I’m steaming I’m shouting
Your name out loud
The drink I think it goes to my head
’cause drops of it fall from my eyes

Too many stories of Snow
White and sweet Cinderella
Have twisted my thinking
I’ve never been one of their kind
But, you’d like me to be sweet ’n’ small
But, I swear like a soldier
And I’m miles too tall

Don’t waste your time mmm, I may be a clown
One thing I’ve found too many like me
Believe all they read on
Those well-meaning knees

Don’t waste your time i may be a clown
One thing I’ve found too many like me
Believe all they read on
Those well-meaning knees

Last order’s ringing
I throw myself down the stairs
This night air is colder than ice
But I really don’t care
November chills can’t freeze the heart

This girl

So I’m going round your house now
Gonna kick the door down
I feel like Robert Mitchum and I’m
Spinning you around
