Drowning Butterflies

about this song

If I use this silver pound, to buy a drink a fool around I am only drowning butterflies I said I'd see you at the factory gate I was there, but you were late You said, "Sorry," but it wasn't in your eyes I got four fingers, redundancy pay And just two weeks to our wedding day I won't blame you, whatever you want to do When they knock the terraced houses down, There will be no butterflies to drown Things are changing all around All my friends have gone to ground
