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
They're not trying, at least, to hang onto you
You know, this used to be a boom town
Now they're closing all the factories down
Well, no wonder: we're all drowning butterflies
When they knock the terraced houses down,
There will be no butterflies to drown
