The Shield

[Luther]

In series one, episode 8, Cupid and Psycho, the song is the Magnetic Fields' "All My Little Words". It apparently appears in the "69 Love Songs" box set. Here are the lyrics: You are a splendid butterfly It is your wings that make you beautiful And I could make you fly away But I could never make you stay You said you were in love with me Both of us know that that's impossible And I could make you rue the day But I could never make you stay Not for all the tea in China Not if I could sing like a bird Not for all North Carolina Not for all my little words Not if I could write for you The sweetest song you ever heard It doesn't matter what I'll do Not for all my little words Now that you've made me want to die You tell me that you're unboyfriendable And I could make you pay and pay But I could never make you stay
