The words of the wonderful world of Butterfly Polite
February’s single is a special Valentine’s edition, for lovers who like strings. There’s oodles of strings on the brand-spanking-new song ‘Look At Me Now’ , and as a B-side there’s a little unreleased gem from the ButetrflyPolite vaults … Sarah plus string Quartet doing the song ‘James’ (originally found on the album Http).

Apologies to our members in Fiji, for there it is already February, and this post is late. This is partly your own fault for living in the future. For the rest of us it is still January, and with that comes January’s single…
Laid In Grass - a dream like journey that lyrically tiptoes through some of ButterflyPolite’s darker times.
Laid In Grass - a quite different version, featuring some guest musicians.
Last Forever - a new acoustic version of the song that can be heard on TheMessWeMade recorded during the ‘Swinging From The Gallows’ sessions.
Head over here to purchase.
P.s. With this release being a super-extra-value-three-track single, does it have an A-side, a B-side and a Sea-side?
Maybe I misheard
Just like love, is similar to the reluctance
Maybe you are confused
Investment desires - in the eyes of the same bruise
If tonight
Then when
Waiting until after we
During the light I thank you so grab your daily bon appétit
And I could hold on to all my
If tonight
Then when
Will the end to this awkward dance
I’m dizzy spinning your side
And I could hold on to all my
In addition, if it is not right
We can still call the day walking
And some of our pride
Cos at least our people are ‘I tried
Maybe I misheard
Just like love, is similar to the reluctance
Maybe you are confused
If not today
Soon after
I hear we are missing opportunities for people loom
Is to kiss the tears dry
And I could hold on to all my
If tonight
Then when
This whole charade is that we are friends
Please crush
What matters is what happens
And again
Please. Lies and hold on tight
However, I have not seen in the eyes
‘Cos I may survive
Having watched Rage Against The Machine romp home to the no.1 spot this yule, we’ve decided to enter the race quite very late with The Christmas E.P. a special bumper edition in our year of monthly songs.
Christmastime (is a time to be polite) kicks off, a seasonal song to sing whilst roasting your chestnuts on an open fire.
Carousels comes next, a dark cautionary tale about the amusement park after hours.
Hope Springs pops up - a live acoustic version from the Swinging At The Gallows sessions.
…and lastly, at no extra cost, Christmastime - karaoke version. Ideal for those Christmas Parties.
The whole EP only costs £1, and the karaoke version is a free download. That’s the spirit of Christmas right there!
Today is the first day that it’s felt cold enough to really be December. Yes, I know that you’ve already eaten 10 of the cheap chocolates behind your advent calendar doors, and that you’ve missed the last posting day to get your Christmas cards sent to your long lost relations, but…
…it’s just not really seemed Christmassy enough to be the end of the year, has it? We have not been walking in a winter wonderland, chestnuts have stayed well away from our open fires, and the snow does not lay ’round about. (Not deep nor crisp nor even). We have, however, been busy little Butterflies and been embracing the festive spirit behind closed doors, and thus shall soon be unleashing our Christmas Single upon the world. If you are good boys and girls, then “Christmastime (is a time to be polite)” should be sitting under your tree or in your stocking sometime towards the end of next week. Mistletoe Kisses. ButterflyPoliteJust to quell the rumours that have been setting the internet aflame…
