Flutter Girl Lyrics
And drinking dust
With eyes of rust
Tonight my tears might stain your wings
So flutter home
'Cause you're better off alone than with me
So hide your face
And tie your lace
And butterflies across your cheek
Forget how soon
You'll become a fool for words when I speak
Flutter girl
You don't want to know what I've lived
You don't want to take what I give
And I give nothing for free
You don't want to know what I've lived
You don't want to take what I give
And I give nothing for free
My hands are rough
My fingers cold
Your heart's so young and so naive
To ever feel
For a moment that I might let you believe...
I'll melt your smile
I'll tear your wings
I'll color everything you see
So flutter home
'Cause you're better off alone than with me
Flutter girl
You don't want to know what I've lived
You don't want to take what I give
'Cause I give nothing for free
And you don't want to know what I've lived
You don't want to take what I give
'Cause I give nothing for free
(Long solo...)
Flutter girl
You don't want to know what I've lived
You don't want to take what I give
And I give nothing for free
You don't want to know what I've lived
Flutter girl
Flutter girl
With eyes of rust
Tonight my tears might stain your wings
So flutter home
'Cause you're better off alone than with me
And tie your lace
And butterflies across your cheek
Forget how soon
You'll become a fool for words when I speak
You don't want to know what I've lived
You don't want to take what I give
And I give nothing for free
You don't want to take what I give
And I give nothing for free
My fingers cold
Your heart's so young and so naive
To ever feel
For a moment that I might let you believe...
I'll tear your wings
I'll color everything you see
So flutter home
'Cause you're better off alone than with me
You don't want to know what I've lived
You don't want to take what I give
'Cause I give nothing for free
You don't want to take what I give
'Cause I give nothing for free
You don't want to know what I've lived
You don't want to take what I give
And I give nothing for free

This song was going to be in Superunknown but in the end, it didn't get in the cd! That's probably the version which was recorded back then by the band! Of course, I prefer the Euphoria morning version!
this isnt by soundgarden
this was on chris's solo album
There's two versions of this song.
The first version, the one everyone knows and loves, was on Cornell's solo album. And it was awesome.
The second version is an acoustic one, which appeared on the BOOTLEG Soundgarden CD, "Digging the Garden of Sound." I'm pretty sure is what happened, is the guy putting together all the 'lost tracks' on DtGoS thought FG was a SG song.
what the hell?
do you guys like these lyrics...they really bore me and it makes me think of poor susan silver, i liked that album it was alright but these lyrics...i just don't like them.
It WAS a Soundgarden song. Like Audioslave23 said, it was cut from Superunknown.
