We Can Swing Together - Lindisfarne

No-one came to criticize, no-one to complain

Just to pass a little bit of time, play some human games

Some were smoking 'roll your owns', while others they had none

Ev’rybody was holding hands, and singing this little song

We can swing together, 'cause we feel we’re doing it right

We can swing together, we can swing all through the night

Then when things were happening, around about ten to four

There was a screeching of brakes, dogs barking outside, and a hammering on the

door

Then the voice of officialdom, saying 'Open in the name of the law'

But we just kept on holding hands, and singing this song some more

We can swing together, 'cause we feel we’re doing it right

We can swing together, we can swing all through the night

Then they broke down all the doors, and kicked the windows in

They let their doggies off the leads, and they ransacked everything

They stood us all against the wall, their faces split with grins

And then they linked each others' handcuffs and they merrily began to sing

We can swing together, 'cause we feel we’re doing it right

We can swing together, we can swing all through the night

They took us to see the County Judge, with a wig-hat on his head

He heard our case with a smile on his face, and this is what he said:

I’ll have to send you all to jail, for doing this terrible thing

And as I walked down to the cells, I swear I heard him sing

We can swing together, 'cause we feel we’re doing it right

We can swing together, we can swing all through the night

We can swing together, 'cause we feel we’re doing it right

We can swing together, we can swing all through the night

We can swing together, 'cause we feel we’re doing it right

We can swing together, we can swing all through the night

We can swing together, 'cause we feel we’re doing it right

We can swing together, we can swing all through the night

We can swing together, 'cause we feel we’re doing it right

We can swing together, we can swing all through the night

We can swing together, 'cause we feel we’re doing it right

We can swing together, we can swing all through the night
