lyrics

He said he used the map and traveled across
The whole main area
Saw once flat valleys turn to open worlds
Hit all invisible walls
Spend midnight at the mall
Never needed guidance
Nothing seemed too tough

But he’s never found a princess
And his time is almost up

Every year a record’s broke
And the team goes all the way
Man creates himself then he picks a side
And glory follows through
He’ll tell you all about it too
With a burst of speed
And the vigor of a flashing star

But he’s never found a princess
Though he’s a hero at guitar
He’s never found a princess
Though he can nail ‘em from afar

Up down left right
Right right down
Why oh why oh why
Down down down down
Down down down down
Why be down
Right

Now when expectations run too high
Things sometimes get delayed
It doesn’t matter if you’re a stalker or a duke
Your development stands still
You can’t increase your strength nor will
Your character is hurt
You don’t feel content
And you’ll never find a princess
Though you may find a hundred percent

Yes the final stage of stunted growth
Is the man that can’t connect
Too sensitive to settle on his aims
You can see it all around
His solution’s not be found
He’s a slave to a system of his own control

And he’ll never find a princess
With good calibre of soul
If he’s to find a princess
And his hearts are always full
He’ll never find a princess
If he doesn’t pause with doubt
He’ll never find a princess
And his time is running out

Drawing equally on the lyrical density of 60s folk, the irreverence of punk-rock and the experimental leanings of the alternative and anti movements, Al Grantham weaves a unique tapestry of music and words.
