Keep Swinging Lyrics
You got drunk, more so than you'd ever been
You hailed a cab but passed out cold
Before you told the driver where to go
So he drove you around Chicago
You woke up, sicker than you'd ever been
You threw up and shit the bed
And there was no one there to clean you up
And the room was spinning all around
Make a fist and take a deep breath
Close your eyes and count to ten
Just keep swinging until you're over it
The mess you'd left
Had got you feeling pretty bad
But she is a maid
I guess that's what she gets paid for
Make a fist and take a deep breath
Close your eyes and count to ten
Just keep swinging until you're over it
You hailed a cab but passed out cold
Before you told the driver where to go
So he drove you around Chicago
You threw up and shit the bed
And there was no one there to clean you up
And the room was spinning all around
Close your eyes and count to ten
Just keep swinging until you're over it
Had got you feeling pretty bad
But she is a maid
I guess that's what she gets paid for
Close your eyes and count to ten
Just keep swinging until you're over it

Probably the most musically challenging, yet one of the most rewarding, songs on Achilles Heel. Pretty much describes getting really drunk, possibly autobiographical for David though I haven't read anything to confirm that. He does drink and had battled alcoholism in his past life.
it might be about paris hilton
this song, musically, reminds a lot of early Sloan.
I think this describes a lot more than just a drunken night. For me it's about making mistakes in general, feeling regret and having to deal with the anger of others because of your mistakes. But in the end, everything will pass you just have to "Make a fist and take a deep breath Close your eyes and count to ten Just keep swinging until you're over it"
