The Best of the Swing Years

from Good Enough by Short Hand

lyrics

You get “The best of the Swing Years,"
The record, from her grandmother.
Who gets drunk and falls down in the afternoon,
Everybody thinks she's had a stroke.
But she hasn't had a stroke, yet.

And she is at work and a body jerks, a neck decides
Who is hung and who isn't hung or drunk, yet.

And what's it matter if she's really negative, she's not,
And you know it.
And what's it matter if I am being optimistic, I'm not,
And I know it.

And she is at work and a body jerks, the neck decides
Who is hung,
And the need to rework is in escapable, the endless
possibilities,
The possibilities are endless.

You get the best of the wet years, the dream
From her bare waste.
She weaves the weft of her string bikini,
With the warp. It's natural horse – sense.

It's the best of the swing years.
