Lindisfarne - We Can Swing Together lyrics

rate me

no one came to criticie, no one to complain.

just to bide a little bitty time, and play some human

games.

some were smokin' roll your owns, while others they had

none.

everybody was holdin hands, and singing this little

song.

we can swing together, 'cause we know we're doin it

right,

we can swing together, we can swing all thru the night.

then when things were happening, around about ten to

four.

there was screachin of brakes, and smokin outside, and

hammerin on the door.

then the voice of officialdom, said open in the name of

the law.

we just kept on holdin hands, singing this song some

more.

we can swing together cause we know we're doing it

right

we can swing together we can swing all thru the night

then they broke down all the doors, and kicked the

windows in.

they let the doggies off the leash, and ransacked

everything.

they placed us all against the wall, their faces split

with grins.

and they linked each others handcuffs, and they merrily

began to sing.

we can swing together cause we feel we're doing it

right

we can swing together we can swing all thru the night

they took us to see the county judge, with a wig hat on

his head.

he read our case with a smile on his face, and this is

what he said.

I'll have to send you all to jail, for doin this

terrible thing.

and as I walked off to the cells, I swear I heard him

sing.

we can swing together cause we know we're doin it right

we can swing together we can swing all thru the night.
