Lyrics:

Here we go

If I use this silver pound
To buy a drink and 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've got four figures 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 hold on to you
You know this used to be a cool town
Now they're closing all the factories down
It's no wonder, we're all drowning butterflies
When they knock the terraced houses down
There will be no butterflies to drown
When they knock the terraced houses down
There will be no butterflies to drown
