Lloyd Cole - Butterfly
(Live im Stadttheater Landsberg, 15.03.2014)

You were an innocent child before I laid my hands on you
And all that pain that you held inside
Was just waiting to bloom in a darkened room
And you just flew right into the light and came alive
My little butterfly

Well, you'd never known love and you'd never known pain
But you found out that they were just like wine and champagne
You could drink a little more, then you hurt a little less
And you'd get that butterfly feeling underneath your dress
And your promises would turn into lies
then you'd fly
My little butterfly

Now I'm lying here, babe, on your side of the bed
And I've got unclean thoughts flying through my head
And I'm thinking about love, yes I'm thinking about pain
And I'm thinking about some way that I might feel good again
Yes, I'm thinking about my little butterfly
There for Her

Sometimes I get to thinking
I'm a hurting kind of guy
Why'd that woman leave me for a lesser kind?
If you don't know now, then you never will
Is what she said

She said I didn't listen
Well I know that that's untrue
She said I didn't understand her
Well I guess that you do
Well I guess you do

Summer came around
Her old blanket on the floor
I woke to the slamming of the door
Then the rain came
And I just let it pour
All over me

Sometimes I get to thinking
down by my own undertakings
Now I'm down by the water, black water
And I'm looking in

She said I wouldn't miss her
Well you know that that's unfair
She said I wasn't there for her
Well I never would have been there, no sir
If not for her

Summer comes around
And I miss that woman more
I guess I'll get me somewhere by the fall
When the rain comes
Well I'll just let it pour
All over me

Sometimes I get to thinking
I'm a hurting kind of guy
Why'd that woman leave me for a lesser kind
If you don't know now, then you never will
Is what she said

Summer comes around
And I miss that woman more
I guess I'll get me somewhere by the fall
When the rain comes
Well I'll just let it pour
All over me
