JOERNSSON OVERDRIVE - JUST KEEP SWIMMIN´

groovy 70s

JUST KEEP SWIMMIN´

My Daddy threw me in the ocean
When I was a little kid
He told me to stay in motion
And that is what I did.
So every time that things get bad
I remember what my Dad said
He said: ”Just keep swimmin´!”

When I went out into the world
To learn of love and labour,
I found out how hard it is
To love thy fuckin neighbor.
Every time that things get bad
I remember what my Dad said

“Listen, Son: Do like a fish
To get what you wish!
Never stop to eye the horizon,
There might come up
Something surprising.
Do like a fish that without knowing
Keeps on going and going and going …
Just keep swimmin´!”

When I was young I really thought
Or should I say, I hoped
That with the passing of the years
I would learn to cope (with the situation)
Every time that things get bad
I remember what my Dad said

“Listen, Son: Do like a fish
To get what you wish!
Never stop to eye the horizon,
There might come up
Something surprising.
Do like a fish that without knowing
Keeps on going and going and going …
Just keep swimmin´!”
