Eddi Reader - The Swimming Song lyrics

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 bu*terfly 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
