This song was first played on Beats 1 radio during the “king kruLe takeover”. It’s a throwaway song from archy’s second lp,the ooz. Arch describes the song as a strange ,washed out baseline track.

[Verse 1]
Floating with swans
I think she noticed me
Perhaps I held uncertainty, uneducated dishonesty
Well, whatever it was
That she saw in me
Held her hands up high in the monastery
Just here to be warned
For surrounding monarchy
Some kind of limp, slop apology
In a cable for two
Only fits her and me
A lonely bed-sit in Bermondsey
[Refrain]
Where they gathered for you
Swans gathered for you
They gathered for you
See how they gathered for you
[Bridge]
They've flown on through
The city's suit
A destitute
To where we hide
Away from clones
I pick my own
A city's own
A tourist side
They saw us cloned
They saw the smoke
They saw the fear
Within my eyes
I felt alone
I feel alone
I feel alone with you by my side
[Refrain]
Swans gathered for you
How they gathered for you
Swans gathered for you
See how they gathered for you, oh
[Verse 2]
The whole world could be heard
Somewhere in the colossus energy
Hips, lips will form a dirty mythology
Just here to warned
Of your superficial ecology
So I'm trying to live in this monolithic democracy
The monolithic democracy
[Refrian]
Swans gathered for you
Oh, oh, see how they, they gathered for you
Oh, you see how they gathered for you, ah, ah
See how they gathered for you, oh, ah, ah
