BUTTERFLY                                          

SCRATCHING MY HEAD BUT I REALLY HAVEN’T

A CLUE                                                                     

CHOOSE ME A COLOUR, ANYTHING OTHER THAN BLUE                                           

FOR A MOOD THAT I DON’T UNDERSTAND & DON’T                                                            

NEED…………..EVERYTHING ELSE IS FOR FREE

BEAT ON A DRUM, A RHYTHM THAT TAKES YOU

NOWHERE                                                                 

PICK OUT A TUNE, A MELODY THAT WE CAN SHARE                                                                         

OR SOME LYRICS THAT MIGHT MAKE SENSE, STOP                                                                              

US BOTH FROM BECOMING PAST TENSE, OR PERHAPS                                                            

A CHORUS ON WHICH WE BOTH CAN AGREE………                                       

EVERYTHING ELSE IS FOR FREE

CHORUS                                        

CATCH ME A BUTTERFLY, ONE WITH WINGS OF                                                                   

GOSSAMER, MAKE IT SUCH A PRETTY THING SO I                                                                               

FORGET THE LOSS OF HER SWEET SMILE,  FOR A WHILE……

DEAL ME AN ACE PLEASE, ANY SUIT WILL DO                                                                  

EXCEPT DIAMONDS, CAUSE DIAMONDS ARE SHINY LIKE YOU                                           

OH THEY SPARKLE A PASSIONATE LIGHT, SUCH BEAUTY SO                                        

FLAWED, SO FAR OUT OF SIGHT, IN A SOLITAIRE SETTING                                                                             

JUST MADE FOR ME & YOU…….OH NOTHING ELSE WILL DO

IF IT’S A CLEAN BREAK THAT YOU WANT I’LL UNDERSTAND                                                              

WOULDN’T WANNA SPOIL YOUR MASTERPLAN

CHORUS

A BRIEF UNDERSTANDING IS ALL THAT I MIGHT ACHIEVE                                                

JUST ENOUGH TO THINK I MIGHT BELIEVE THE GAMES YOU                                                                         

LOVE TO PLAY, SURVIVE ONE MOMENT, THEN SLIP AWAY, TO                                                        

A PADDED CELL OR A COTTAGE BY THE SEA, IT’S A                                                                   

POSSIBILITY………EVERYTHING ELSE IS FOR FREE

CHORUS

FOR FREE – A POSSIBILITY – MY BUTTERFLY

ã 2008 Six String Vandals

One of Nige's songs about all the possible distractions you can use to forget/understand?? 

 Listen out for Oggi's brilliant 'Red Indian' yodelling - when we were doing rough takes prior to recording I thought he'd caught his balls in a mic stand at first!!  Inspired.... as is his spot on guitar solo.
