The Swimming Song - Eddi Reader

this summer I went swimming

this summer I might have drowned

but I held my breath, I kicked my feet

moved my arms around

I moved my arms around

this summer I swam in the ocean

and I swam in a swimming pool

salt my wounds, chlorine my eyes

I’m a self-destructive fool

self-destructive fool

this summer I did the back-stroke

and you know that that’s not all

I did the breast stroke, the butterfly

and the old australian crawl

the old australian crawl

this summer I swam in a public place

and a reservoir to boot

at the latter I was informal

at the former I wore my suit

I wore my swimming suit

oh, this summer I did swan dives

and jack-knives for you all

and once when you weren’t looking

I did a cannon-ball

I did a cannon-ball

this summer I went swimming

this summer I might have drowned

but I held my breath, I kicked my feet

and moved my arms around

I moved my arms around
