Swell Lyrics

My bad habits breed

Like bad rabbits do

But they're not quite as fluffy

I've got the stories to prove

Making deals with the devil

'Cause I'm way under his thumb

Blind to the damage

'Cause I'm having way too much fun

It's been twenty-odd years

Since I started cacklin'

I always get a kick

Getting those laugh lines cracklin'

I've come a long way

To be this man in a shell

I'm filling up from the bottom

Oh and I can't quite tell

If I'm starting swell

My bad habits win

Like they're counting cards

I'm nowhere near as lucky

As they've been so far

I feel like a pebble

In the big deep blue sea

I know I'll make a diamond

Eventually

It's been twenty-odd years

Since I started cryin'

I wrestle with my shame

When my eyes need dryin'

I've come a long way

To be this man in a shell

I'm filling up from the bottom

Oh and I can't quite tell

If I'm starting swell

Starting to swell

Starting to swell

Starting to swell

Starting to swell

My bad habits are heavy

Like they're made of lead

Nowhere near as valuable

All locked up in my head

I feel dishevelled

But born fresh again

I'm smilin' at the world

As now turns to then

It's been twenty-odd years

Since I started lovin'

Boy am I lucky

To know what I've got comin'

I've come a long way

To be this man in a shell

I'm filling up from the bottom

Oh and I can't quite tell

If I'm starting swell

Starting to swell

Starting to swell

Starting to swell

Starting to swell
