"Butterflies and flutterbies", or possibly "flutterbies and butterflies". The only lyrics that I can remember to a 60's Pink Floyd type track. I've tried Google, but can't get anywhere.

I know it's not much to go on, but has anyone got any ideas at all? It's got a really soothing, spaced out feel to it, like "Cirrus Minor" ........

I heard it once on a pirate station down the smoke about 15 years ago when I was ickle, and haven't heard it anywhere since .......

Sorry, don't know Cirrus Minor, but if your track is laid back folksy guitar sort of stuff it could be John Martyn - Woodstock.

Try google again, but spell it flutterby.

Hope that helps.

Cirrus Minor is an old Floyd track from the soundtrack to "More", and also on "Relics". My google fu ain't the best, but it's driving me nuts ........

It was RFL, and it was from a night time loop done by (best use his on air name ;) :hihi: ) Kenny Myers.

The only thing that springs to mind is the "Willow Farm " section from Suppers Ready, but that's early 70's.


"If you go down to Willow Farm,
to look for butterflies, flutterbyes, gutterflies
Open your eyes, it's full of surprise, everyone lies,
like the focks on the rocks,
and the musical box.
Oh, there's Mum & Dad, and good and bad,
and everyone's happy to be here.

There's Winston Churchill dressed in drag,
he used to be a British flag, plastic bag, what a drag.
The frog was a prince, the prince was a brick, the brick was an egg,
the egg was a bird.
(Fly away you sweet little thing, they're hard on your tail)
Hadn't you heard?
(They're going to change you into a human being!)
Yes, we're happy as fish and gorgeous as geese,
and wonderfully clean in the morning.

We've got everything, we're growing everything,
We've got some in
We've got some out
We've got some wild things floating about
Everyone, we're changing everyone,
you name them all,
We've had them here,
And the real stars are still to appear."

Nice one mate :thumbsup:

Christ, just heard suppers ready for the first time. i hope I never hear it again

Nope, it's not that one after all (cheers for the link carcrash), but bizarrely, the first passage was on that loop, but the track I'm after wasn't that one ....... I'll have to keep on looking ........

OK, if it's not Suppers Ready, could it be this one (Butterfly by The Hollies)

We met on the shore of a lemonade lake.
Weeping willows looked down where we lay.
Orange blossoms I smell in your hair.
Butterfly, flutter by, butterfly by.

Waterfalls send your ripples to us
Here on the shore of the lemonade lake.
Pond lilies play hide and seek with the fish.
Rabbit run, run rabbit, rabbit run by.

Roaring mountain is standing close by,
Covered with snowdrops and glistening with dew.
I hear the sound of a small hummingbird.
I took your hand and I waltzed off with you.

Come to the top of the mountain with me.
Jump on a cloud and we’ll float to and fro.
Seeing the countryside covered with grass
And the top of the mountain with candy-floss and snow.

Butterfly lazily drinking the sun,
Lavishly sprinkled and painted with gold.
Here in the land of the mist and the lake,
Me and my true love will never grow old.

I reckon you're Ray Mears, 'cos willow keeps turning up :)

It's definitely not that, cos I own it (and a very underrated track it is too).

oh the moon is giving sunshine
sky`s full of wine
big ol` bear prickly pear
I wanna live in your
fuzzy bits an` kissin` lips
curly hair and squeezy hips
places where I just fit in you

never had the luck to see god`s hands
not even his fingernails
but if he has a voice it`s just like yours
butter and honey and milk and water
milk and water
milk and water

moon is giving sunshine
sky`s full of wine
clouds are pouring red
stars are pouring white
so much raining down on me I just lose my...

moon is giving sunshine
sky`s full of wine
big ol` bear prickly pear
I wanna live in your...

night and day day and night
night and day day and night

moon is giving sunshine
sky`s full of wine
big ol` bear prickly pear
I wanna live in your
flutter-bys and butterflies
that frame your big round eyes
an` make lightning strike twice inside
make lightning strike twice inside

so much light sky`s so bright
so much light sky`s so bright
clouds are pouring red
an` the stars are pouring white
clouds are pouring red
an` the stars are pouring white
lightning strike twice inside
night and day day and night
lightning strike twice inside
moon is giving sunshine
sky`s full of wine
clouds are pouring red
stars are pouring white

Laika were formed about 4 years after I heard the track I'm on about ........ I knew this would be a toughie, because I've been searching for it for the best part of 15 years now ..........

It is a toughie and ive only been looking the best part of this morning. I think after 15 years i would have given up. Good luck with the search.

"King And Queen" by the Moody Blues?

"It's like awaking from a dream
All I remember is a lullaby
I couldn't tell you where I've been
A thousand images just flutter by

Takin' my time in a white limousine
If I was the King, she'd be my Queen

And my thoughts are growing louder
And my mind has lost its way
And the flames are getting higher everyday

My mind is back behind my eyes
And there before me sits a butterfly
And as I watch, she gently cries
Can there be anyone who'll pity her?
How many faces have all of you been?
If I was the King She'd be my Queen

And my thoughts are getting louder
And my mind has lost its way
And the flames are getting higher everyday

My mind is back behind my eyes
And there before me sits a butterfly
And as I watch, she gently cries
Can there be anyone who'll pity her?
How many faces have all of you been?
If I was the King, she'd be my Queen

And my thoughts are getting louder
And my mind has lost its way
And the flames are getting higher ev'ry day
And the flames are getting higher ev'ry day
And the flames are getting higher ev'ry day"

Some will find subtlety left in strangers,
Some will find subtlety alone.
And if you find everything like you're looking for,
If you find anything let me in.
My eyes, I see, I see everything.
My eyes, I see it's together I know.
Some will find everything trapped in cages.
Some will find simple things inside their zoo.
And if you find everything like you're looking for,
If you find anything let me go.
My eyes, I see, I see it all.
My eyes, I see and feel it's together I know.
Butterfly home, fly home, fly home, fly...
And I'll raise my head up,
And I'll raise my arms up,
And I'll flutter on, beautiful, flutter on, beautiful, flutter on, beautiful,
flutter on, beautiful
Butterfly, butterfly
Butterfly...
And I'll raise my wings up,
and I'll shed this shell off,
And I'll flutter on, beautiful, flutter on, beautiful, flutter on, beautiful,
flutter on, beautiful
Butterfly, yeah
Flutter on, beautiful
Butterfly, yeah
If what I know is real,
If what I know is all,
I'm dying, I'm dying
Flutter on beautiful, flutter on beautiful.
I'm dying beautiful, I'm dying beautiful.
Flutter on, I'm beautiful.
Fly, I'm beautiful.
Butterfly, I'm beautiful.
Butterfly, yeah.
Butterfly, butterfly...
And I see in my eyes,
And I feel in my skin,
And I walk in my world,
And I feel that I'm dying...

Swansong over the rooftop
Call to the kid next door
Let it be proclaimed
In the wind and the rain
Gotta do that

Do you really think so
Do you really think so

Hope that the light of the first world
Won't dark the light of the third world
Wash the darkness from your eyes
It's time to let your nature rise
Roses in the garden
Hummingbirds and butterflies
Flutter by
