The Nolans - Dragonfly

EPIC -EPC A2864

October 1982

Written By Tim Friese-Greene/Steve Lange

Produced By Tim Friese-Greene

From The Album ‘Altogether’

UK Chart -

‘Dragonfly’ is the lead single from the girl’s compilation, ‘Altogether’.  By now, Anne had returned to the line up, making the group a five piece once again.

The Nolans would now be collaborating with a new producer, Tim Friese-Greene, who had worked with the likes of Talk Talk and Tight Fit, having several hit singles to his name.  The girls had now left their regular production outfit of Ben Findon and Nicky Graham.  Grenne also co wrote the track ‘Dragonfly’ with Steve Lange.

The single would be backed with ‘Every Little Thing’, a track lifted from the ‘Portrait’ album.

The end of The Nolans career at Epic was in sight, with both the ‘Dragonfly’ single and ‘Altogether’  album flopping in the UK charts.

Lyrics

Sometime we’re a million miles apart

But you don’t realise it

You could make the break through to my heart

If you could only find it

What you want is what you see

You don’t care what under me

I always seem to be on show

An ornament, you can’t let you

Dragonfly, that’s all I seem to be, yeah yeah

Dragonfly, that’s all you want to see, yeah yeah

One day - your paper house will blow away

You’ll see - when you reach for me

Your dragonfly just spread your winds and I’ll be free

Sometimes when we kiss I see you smile

But there’s no love behind it

We had love that stood firm for while

But then you undermined it

You took my body and left sole

You wont return the heart you stole

And im just left out in the rain

Until im put on show again

Dragonfly, that’s all I seem to be, yeah yeah

Dragonfly, that’s all you want to see, yeah yeah

One day - your paper house will blow away

You’ll see - when you reach for me

Your dragonfly just spread your winds and I’ll be free

Dragonfly, that’s all I seem to be, yeah yeah

Dragonfly, that’s all you want to see, yeah yeah

One day - your paper house will blow away

You’ll see - when you reach for me

Your dragonfly just spread your winds and I’ll be free
