Текст песни Swimming - Brendan Benson

North of shelby town there's a lake uncharted
And from an anchor town comes a boy whole hearted
All his preparation so exhausting
Built endurance makes him right for the crossing

And not in winter time cause the lake's all frozen
June is opportune so the date is chosen
Take the tripod to raft for short filming
It's only small town news but to us he's famous
His declaration makes everyone think he's the greatest

All the way in record time
All our eyes were glued to the waves that he made in an unnamed lake
Follow the wake through record time
All the while the camera's collecting the take...
All collecting the take.

It's only us except for a lone man fishing
Find a shady spot to lay out the provisions
Puts his goggles on for underwater vision
As he breaks the glass into water with diver's precision
He's one ambitious boy, an olympic tradition

All the way in record time
All our eyes were glued to the waves that he made in an unnamed lake
Follow the wake in record time
All the while the camera's collecting the take

Ah Ah
Do do do do do, do do do do do do do

All the way in record time
All our eyes were glued to the waves
That he made in an unnamed lake
Follow the wake in record time
All the while the camera's collecting the take...
Ah, collecting the take

All our eyes were glued to him.
