This is the sixth song from Pedro the Lion’s fourth album, Achilles Heel. The song encourages someone to work through a low point in their life by telling them to “keep swinging.”
[Verse 1]
You got drunk more so than you'd ever been
You hailed a cab but passed out cold
Before you told the driver where to go
And so he drove you around Chicago
[Verse 2]
You woke up sicker than you'd ever been
You threw up and shit the bed
And there was no one there to clean you up
And the room was spinning all around
[Chorus]
Make a fist and take a deep breath
Close your eyes and count to ten
Just keep swinging 'til you're over it
[Verse 3]
The mess you left had got you feeling pretty bad, but --
She is a maid; I guess that's what she get's paid for
[Chorus]
Make a fist and take a deep breath
Close your eyes and count to ten
Just keep swinging 'til you're over it
Keep Swinging was written by TW Walsh.
Pedro The Lion released Keep Swinging on Tue May 25 2004.
