《The Swimming Song》歌词

[00:00:00] The Swimming Song - Eddi Reader

[00:00:13] This summer I went swimming

[00:00:15] This summer I might have drowned

[00:00:17] But I held my breath I kicked my feet

[00:00:19] Moved my arms around

[00:00:21] I moved my arms around

[00:00:23] This summer I swam in the ocean

[00:00:25] And I swam in a swimming pool

[00:00:27] Salt my wounds chlorine my eyes

[00:00:30] I’m a self-destructive fool

[00:00:32] Self-destructive fool

[00:00:45] This summer I did the back-stroke

[00:00:47] And you know that that’s not all

[00:00:49] I did the breast stroke the butterfly

[00:00:50] And the old australian crawl

[00:00:53] The old australian crawl

[00:00:55] This summer I swam in a public place

[00:00:57] And a reservoir to boot

[00:00:59] At the latter I was informal

[00:01:01] At the former I wore my suit

[00:01:03] I wore my swimming suit

[00:01:16] Oh this summer I did swan dives

[00:01:18] And jack-knives for you all

[00:01:20] And once when you weren’t looking

[00:01:22] I did a cannon-ball

[00:01:24] I did a cannon-ball

[00:01:37] This summer I went swimming

[00:01:39] This summer I might have drowned

[00:01:41] But I held my breath I kicked my feet

[00:01:43] And moved my arms around

[00:01:45] I moved my arms around
