lyrics

when i was only 16 there was a castle of steam, it wasn't safe for the weight
of horses, scabbards and guards. of apples, merlins and bards so i climbed over the gate
and just as me about to leap i felt a tug on my feet and hit the grass with my back
i came to and peered up a skirt, she knelt and said she was hurt i said by who but "in fact
the culprit is you" i froze and foolishly then i chose a way to make an escape
i said "please show me the ring, the one i gave you. i think my friend has one just the same"
and so she outstretched her arm and so i meant her no harm and tried to keep it quite tame
with her eyes on the gem i picked my spot and well then i fucking rattled her jaw
she fell and lay in a heap and how she looks fast asleep save for the blood on her frock
i put my shirt on her body just to keep her warm.
i checked her pockets for money then i rubbed her arm.
i've never climbed down a beanstalk..
