On the album Swinging for England

lyrics

Track 1: Swinging for England

Throw the car keys on the table; grab yourself a glass of wine
It’s that seventies dream, that risqué swapping scene, it’ll seem so divine
Take your time and get to know us, you should find we’ve lots to share
Take a look around, it’s a treasure trove you’ve found, like ducks to water, eagles dare
Get the spark back in your marriage; blow the cobwebs out the door
Take the Bluetooth for a talk, your dog out for a walk, always looking out for something more
Make a splash in the Jacuzzi, or in the dungeon with the toys
A little suburban slap, and tickle hard to cap, a summer so full of the joys

Step inside with us, come alive with us; spend some time with us
And you will find that we’ll spice up your life, lose your inhibitions in the party scene so rife and then we’ll sing, oh yes we’ll sing; swinging for England and for you
And we’ll swing, oh yes we’ll swing the whole night through

You can find us in a magazine and swing out in London tonight
You can find us on the internet and swing around the world oh that’s right
Did you ever think that life had passed you by?
Others had the fun that you never got to try?
Be a player on the scene and kiss that life bye bye!

With you and me and them and us and everyone here can sing along (swinging for England)
Swinging for England and for the Queen Herself (it can’t be wrong, oh no, swinging for England), Swinging for glory across the Commonwealth
(c) Josh Davis
