“Swallowtail” is track 6 on Wolf Alice’s debut album My Love Is Cool. The song was mostly written by Joel Amey, who also provided its vocals. In an interview with DIY magazine, he recalled:
I remember feeling really shit, probably the lowest I’ve ever felt. I made this demo of it, all constant nois...
[Verse 1]
Swallowtail, I met you up atop The Shard
As we fell, I never thought we'd hit this hard
It's not right, but it's too late for that now
Swallow fear, and head straight down into the ground
[Chorus]
And head straight down into the crowd
The crowd that you've been leaning on
To the crowd
The crowd that you believed were gone
[Verse 2]
Swallowtail, I met you up atop The Shard
As we fell, I never thought we'd hit this hard
It's not right, but it's too late for that now
Swallow fear, and head straight down into the ground
[Chorus]
And head straight down into the crowd
The crowd that you've been leaning on
To the crowd
The crowd that you believed were gone
[Verse 3]
Swallowtail, I met you up atop The Shard
As we fell, I never thought we'd hit this hard
It's not right, but it's too late for that now
Swallow fear, and head straight down into the ground
[Chorus]
And head straight down into the crowd
The crowd that you've been leaning on
To the crowd
The crowd that you believed were gone
[Outro]
