Cleaners From Venus - Drowning Butterflies lyrics

If I use this silver pound To buy a drink and fool around I am only drowning bu*terflies I said I'd see you at the factory gates I was there but you were late You said sorry - but it wasn't in your eyes I've got four figures' redundancy pay And just two weeks to our wedding day I won't blame you Whatever you want to do [Chorus] When they knock the terraced houses down There will be no bu*terflies to drown Things are changing all around All my friends have gone to ground And I'm trying at least to hang on to you You know this used to be a boom-town Now they're closing all the factories down It's no wonder we're all drowning bu*terflies [Chorus] (x2)
