Maddy Prior - Summer: Swimming Song lyrics

This summer I went swimming This summer I might have drowned But I held my breath and I kicked my feet And I threw my arms around And I threw my arms around This summer I did the swan dive And jack knife for you all And once when you weren't looking Well I did a cannon ball I did a cannon ball This summer I swam in the ocean And I swam in a swimming pool Salt in my wounds, chlorine in my eyes I'm a self-destructive fool I'm a self-destructive fool The summer I did the backstroke And you know that that's not all I did the breaststroke and the bu*terfly And the old Australian crawl And the old Australian crawl This summer I swam in a public place And a reservoir to boot At the latter I was informal And the former I wore my suit Yes I wore my swimming suit This summer I went swimming This summer I might have drowned But I held my breath and I kicked my feet And I threw my arms around And I threw my arms around
