Alice In Chains - Swing On This Lyrics
Mother said come home
Father said come home
Sisters said come home
So my friends said come home
Let me be, I'm alright
Can't you see, I'm just fine
Little skinny, okay
I'm asleep anyway
Then I heard a voice
Said "Son you have a choice"
I then slapped my face
I'm awake anyway
It's too bright over there
I can shift, cannot steer
So I drive them away
For a while, then I stay
Little skinny, okay
I'm awake anyway
Now I have to go home
Do as, when in Rome
Let me be, I'm alright
Can't you see I'm just fine
Little skinny, okay
I'm asleep anyway
Let me be, I'm okay
I'm awake anyway

Alice In Chains Swing On This Comments
why they snap so hard 😳
Weird but cute and rockabilly 🎶🎶🎶❤️❤️❤️
fodase admito sempre pulo a ultima faixa. Ainda é o melhor album do AIC
This song is why i hang with alex jansen
I know it’s cliched and over used and all but...
I swear I was born in the wrong year
I would like to hear an orchestra play this for some reason
Anyone that thinks this doesn't fit the EP clearly never knew how this was recorded in the first place... it's a perfect end for what was proposed.
You're absolutely right!
Can't agree more
Care to share? I’m ignorant to the backstory.
Greatest period of America music. 🤔🇱🇷
My favorite all time album. Every song is a masterpiece
From someone just diving into the band and not listening to this album through, going from “rotten apples” to this seems hilarious
That evil bass intro and the vocal harmony of a generation come together to make this song and this album
This song seriously makes me want to play the bass
Genius album from the greatest band to come out of the "grunge" era.
Agreed.👍🤔💛
Are you trying to start a civil war with that statement?😂
Quiero que me metan todo su fuerza por mi obscuro y pequeño, pequeñoooooo agujero negro. 😁😉😋🙄
Disclaimer: I’m a big fan of AIC (w/ Layne, *not the shitty AIC 2.0* ). That said, I don’t really understand how the title of the song ties into the theme of it. (Judging by some comments, some ppl get it). Can anyone explain? Thnx
I guess it's because of the Swing music influences in the song
its because the song is in a "swing feel" commonly used in Jazz
Lmao disses alice in chains just because Layne isn't in it anymore and cant even put 2 and 2 together about the swing music influence, you sir are a grade A jackass
Underrated song
The ultimate in vanity...
Another sic 90's song. Even the worst stuff music wise in the 90's is top notch modern day music.
This song makes me think of ants
WHY do I know what you mean
Oh wait, do you mean the movie? I thought you meant actual ants (the creature).
This sounds like it should have been on another album lol it doesn't fit with the tone of this album! Nonetheless, still an amazing song by AIC! ❤️
Let me be,
I'm alright
Can't you see,
I'm just fine
Little skinny, okay
I'm asleep anyway
Missing all of this
I used to categorize this as my least favorite AiC song. No idea why, it's fucking great, especially the chorus.
The way the bass sounds with the guitar solo at the end is orgasmic...
Darth Darth Binks you’re insane
Time does wonders
The chorus made me like this song LOL
Catch this song being stuck in my head constantly
Ian I can’t agree more, I work construction and I’ve thought of this song a couple times. Keeps you in the swing of things, no pun intended.
sounds like a song in a porno
Who the hell disliked?
There's a little bit of a "Hate to Feel" feeling in this piece.
Lyrics
Mother said come home
Father said come home

So my friends said come home
I said
Let me be,
I'm alright
Can't you see,
I'm just fine
Little skinny,
Okay
I'm asleep anyway
Then I heard a voice
Said
Son you have a choice
I then slapped my face
Let me be,
I'm okay
I'm awake anyway
It's too bright over there
I can shift,
Cannot steer
So I drive them away
For a while,

Little skinny,

Do as when in Rome
Let me be,

Little skinny, okay

Let me be,

I'm awake anyway
And NOW comes the mania...love this album.
Sludge blues would've been a good alt. title for Swing On This
Every song is great
This song almost sounds happy
The chord progression is pretty upbeat, but as per usual, the lyrics are daunting 🙄
@Right Coast That's kinda the point I think, creates a rather ironic feeling
A daunting eerie happy sound of pain
*A L M O S T*
Toby's still laughing
Only song I don't like off of jar of flies.. weird random song for this album.. What the hell have I would have been a better track
They were stoned and they just jammed. Its still better than any nickelback song...Right??
Its an perfect end for the album..
Presents the attitude of an addicted, trying to show that "he is okay", especially after all the songs in the album that points that he is not.
Great song
Does anyone else get kind of a country blues rocky kinda vibe, idk maybe I’m just losing it
Nah I see where ur coming from
It's the jazz influence since jazz influenced all those styles it all sounds the same
That's exactly what it is lol
You mean "swing"
dopefiend blues
Best way to say it
Methadone soothes
Swing on this dopefiend blues
groovy ...
Yeah man
I usually like Alice In Chains, but this sounds like Alvin and The Chipmunks gone wrong.
smoke crack
It sound nothing like that and that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Never scrolling down into the comments again.
It must be comedy night in the comment section. Good joke buddy
Shit! Maybe if Alvin was the greatest metal singer on earth who was strung out on smack while having the harshest trip of his life on acid and having a psychotic rupture.
This song is criminally underrated
Kacy Ortiz if only it could be done by the master live, R.I.P Layne 😢
Yes agreed my brother
I've only been listening to Alice in chains for about 3 months, and they have very quick become my favorite band ever. I agree that Layne is irreplaceable. 😕
You're G.D. right!!
Sounds like something you'd hear in a fancy Italian restaurant
What fancy Italian restaurants are you visiting?
Jazz club maybe lol
Sounds like something you tune into on some random radio station in the middle of nowhere while driving an old car with the windows down
the songs about heroin not sure if that would be a good idea
@Darth Darth Binks In the Twilight Zone.
ummm ummm what u thinkin? seriously what the hell?
this song shouldn't be on this album
Ja'Crispies nothin song, so close now yeah when i got this album i was like oh this is a preview to tripod
@SolidSaber ok yes that's Right
It's a perfect closing song to the album imo. It gives it a finalized feeling...like as if to say " it's over with"
@Doug yeah dude I don't understand how they made this whole fucking album, ALL OF IT in like 10 days. It's insane.
well it is so what are you going to do about it LOL
Gotta dig that bass line.
awesome song
great tune
Swing on this... need I say more..
