“Swimming Pool Blues” is the first single of Miniature Tigers fourth studio album, Cruel Runnings (2014). As the title indicates, it’s a breezy summer pop song sung by a lovesick dude nostalgic for last year’s summer romance and wanting to rekindle the fire.
Miniature Tigers is frontman-guitarist...
Swimming Pool Blues
Your hair grew long in the time I was away
And now you’re gone, and now you are gone, I feel your pain
Your eyes are brown like the earth beneath my feet
For when you cry, for when you cry, the swimming pool blues
[Chorus]
Haven’t been swimming all summer, ooh
Got the swimming pool blues
With my head underwater
So lost and confused
If we swim we can make it, ooh
I want to make it with you
'Cause there's no other way
No way
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah
[instrumental break]
When I first met you, we rushed into a bed
Oh when I left, oh when I left, you’re still in my head
My eyes are green like the garden you water
Oh when you go, oh when you go, the swimming pool blues
Swimming Pool Blues was written by Charlie Brand.
