Flutterfly

The world is an explosion of sight and sound
Give me that paintbrush
I'll stroke a theatre in the round
Where the protagonist is King
And I am crowned
A mischievous nymph
Spellbound in the background.

I hear you’re a different person now
You have a job to hold you down
Your girlfriend only frowns
Like twice a week at most

You no longer party
You no longer host
A cocktail of drugs
You no longer boast
‘Bout that guy you once punched in the throat


Good for you
Good for everyone who approaches you
Good for everyone who knows that you’ve now changed
(And you’re now not to blame)
And good for you
You’re good to all and you’re number one
But I kinda miss the old you
He was a lot more fun

You see your mother every other week
You no longer shout you only speak
About how life is no longer bleak
Just meek

I hear you say pardon
I hear you say please
You say excuse me after you sneeze
For your its a walk in the park
It’s all a breeze

You no longer f*ck you only make love
She’s no longer a slut
Only a dove
And if she tease
You refuse to bite
Only squeeze

Good for you
Good for everyone who approaches you
Good for everyone who knows that you’ve now changed
(And you’re now not to blame)
And good for you
You’re good to all and you’re number one
But I kinda miss the old you
He was a lot more fun

You cross when it’s green
You no longer order a takeaway
Just cuisine
You’ve swapped your coke for a bit of caffeine
How clean

I hear you sleep on the right side
You wake up bright and feeling fresh eyed
You stride
With a smile so wide
With teeth so pristine

And when the day is done
I hear you no longer hang out with anyone
And from your faded memories
You remember the fun
You used to have

Good for everyone who approaches you
Good for everyone who knows that you’ve now changed
(And you’re now not to blame)
And good for you
You’re good to all and you’re number one
But I kinda miss the old you
He was a lot more fun

Yes

Good for everyone who approaches you
Good for everyone who knows that you’ve now changed
(And you’re now not to blame)
And good for you
You’re good to all and you’re number one
But I kinda miss the old you
He was a lot more fun

I'm wearing shades
Dancing on a cloud
I'm wearing shades
And I'm dancing on a cloud
The shades come off
Still dancing on a cloud
The moonlight shines
And I'm dancing on a cloud

The music's loud
So I'm dancing on a cloud
I feel so high
As I'm dancing on a cloud
Light then it's night
While I'm dancing on a cloud
It feels so right
That I'm dancing on a cloud

I'm dancing on a cloud
I'm dancing on a cloud
I'm feeling wild
As I'm dancing on a cloud

I'm dancing on a cloud
I'm dancing on a cloud
I'm feeling wild
As I'm dancing on a cloud

It's the paid parade
When I'm dancing on a cloud
Make the music rain
As I'm dancing on a cloud
Shape and scissor wave
While I'm dancing on a cloud
It's the new age rave
Now I'm dancing on a cloud

I'm dancing on a cloud
I'm dancing on a cloud
I'm feeling wild
As I'm dancing on a cloud

I'm dancing on a cloud
I'm dancing on a cloud
I'm feeling wild
As I'm dancing on a cloud

Sometimes I sit alone
And I wonder what's it's all about
I'm in a room
With walls that all surround
My actions and my thoughts
And all the things that I have bought
But I am a still alone
I'm still alone


On Mondays I go to work
The paperwork now it all sucks
But my colleagues now they all rock
Make me laugh
Till my belly hurts
In the rut that we are in

On Tuesdays I go to dance
It's the evening and I dance
To music I love I like to dance
With some strangers that like to dance
To lose weight and to dance
It's all about the dance

But sometimes I sit alone
And I wonder what's it's all about
I'm in a room
With walls that all surround
My actions and my thoughts
And all the things that I have bought
But I'm still alone
I'm still alone

Wednesdays I learn to drive
I pay my instructor thirty-five
He's also in a band, you can catch him playing live
To seven people at a dive
I drive home and everyone is still alive

But sometimes I sit alone
And I wonder what's it's all about
I'm in a room
With walls that all surround
My actions and my thoughts
And all the things that I have bought
But I'm still alone
I'm still alone

On Thursdays I see my love
She likes to tell me that I'm wrong
While she walks around in a thong
If I'm lucky we'll get it on
Or at least take a couple snaps
Filters of us as dogs and swans

On Fridays I go to drink
I meet some friends that I really think
Are kinda cool and have a lot to say
About finding and banging a chick
But I saw my girlfriend yesterday
So I play the squad wingman instead
Then I get tired and go to bed

Sometimes I sit alone
And I wonder what's it's all about
I'm in a room
With walls that all surround
My actions and my thoughts
And all the things that I have bought
But I'm still alone
I'm still alone

Saturdays my head hurts loads
I'm feeling hot and I'm feeling cold
I feel too ill to hit the road
Or even walk down the street
To buy some juice and a bite to eat
And my girlfriend buzzing my phone on repeat

On Sundays I read a book
For about five minutes then I start to look
For anything else past my doorway
But everyone was out partying yesterday
And my girlfriend doesn't want to play

So I sit alone
And I wonder what's it's all about
I'm in a room
With walls that all surround
My actions and my thoughts
And all the things that I have bought
But I'm still alone
I'm still alone
