Boo Hewerdine - Butterfly (on A Pin) Lyrics

You will find breaking hearts
In every guilded cage
When someone else has got the key
Just won't act their age
She's a pretty thing
A butterfly on a pin
He keeps her away from the world

Cinemas on Saturdays there's so much she will miss
Each time he leaves
He'll close the door
And seal it with a kiss
She's a pretty thing
A butterfly on a pin
He keeps her away from the world
Where no one can hear no one can get near

Oh but she's lost
The things in her mind
By which she's defined

Where are you gonna go
When he's done with you
There's nowhere else for you to turn
When you're borrowed and blue

She's a pretty thing
A butterfly on a pin
He keeps her away from the world
Where no one can hear no one can get near

She's a pretty thing
A butterfly on a pin
She's a pretty thing
A butterfly on a pin
Can't use her wings

She's a pretty thing
A butterfly on a pin
She's a pretty thing
A butterfly...
