The Swimming Song

from One + One by O'Shea

lyrics

This summer I went swimming,
This summer I might have drowned
But I held my breath, kicked my feet
And moved my arms around, I moved my arms around

This summer I swam the ocean,
And I swam in a swimming pool,
I got salt my wounds, chlorine my eyes,
I'm a self-destructive fool, I'm a self-destructive fool

This summer I swam in a public place
And a reservoir, to boot,
In the latter I was informal,
And in the former I wore my suit, yeah I wore my swimming suit.

This summer I did the backstroke
And you know that's not all
I did the breast stroke and the butterfly
And the old Australian crawl, yeah the old Australian crawl.

This summer I did swan dives
And duckdives for you all
Once when you weren't looking
I did a cannonball, yeah I did a cannonball.

This summer I went swimming,
This summer I might have drowned
But I held my breath, kicked my feet
And moved my arms around, I moved my arms around
