From the recording Sunday Gravy
Sunday Gravy is a song about change, which happens everyday all around us. Nature provides many inspiring examples, such as the butterfly lifecycle from larvae to chrysalis to butterfly. Butterflies feature in the song artwork and lyrics - 'Butterflies will guide you, we flutter through our days'. The chorus lyric 'wonderful you' is a play on being full of wonder. Wondering about the world and the changes needed.
Lyrics
Nothing sweeter than a first word baby
Golden light in the afternoon
Someone thicker than Sunday gravy
I know people like you
Little aeroplanes scratch my ceiling
Scorny night girls and their cheap perfume
On a stage where the hat’s revealing
I know none of it’s true
And I know there’s a light before the thunder
And I know there’re teeth that they’re lying through
In a world full of minds that are full of wonder
I know there’s a wonderful you
What’s that amusing the Pluggin’ Baby
Chameleon smile just to see me through
Quit that cigarette someday maybe
You’ll save Turner and you
Birds anatomising how we’re feeding
Over sensualised starling food
They get sodomised by how we’re feeling
With your happy pill blues
Never be fearful of change
Change is all inside you
Life can rearrange
Butterflies will guide you
We flutter through our days
No one is ever the same
