Swallow My Pride Lyrics
"Baby there's one thing you've gotta see
Even though we're headed for war
this nation's prouder than ever before
Yes, there's a sprit in the air
We're more American than anywhere."
Well, I just smiled 'cause I could tell
This little girl's going to hell
My blood from running cold
First I fell for her looks
Now I just wanna go for the throat
I tried to tell her a hundred times
This little girl didn't understand at all
Pride comes before a fall
Make me feel all right, deep inside
Feel all right
Pride comes before a fall
I don't know what you're thinking of
This ain't the summer of love
There ain't no angels above
Things ain't what they used to be
This ain't the summer of love
There ain't no angels above
Things ain't what they used to be
This ain't the summer of love
This ain't the summer of fun
I'm surprised that no one has written any comments, maybe because this isn't the most famous band, but they still rock. I'll be the very first post for Green River, don't I feel special.....anyways, great song.
agreed, SGMonkee497. And I am the very second post. I feel special too.
This is perhaps the first truly great grunge song.....only problem is the 'girl' vocals at the beginning. thank god for grunge.
I'm also suprised that everyone thinks Nirvana began grunge. It was green river and mother love bone that really began the grunge genre.
And the Screaming Trees, and the Melvins. :) They helped, too.
why is personality meltdown not on here, i love that song
This song is about a guy who's sick of his girlfriend's patriotism and support for people like Ronald Reagan. That's what I get since the lyrics were written in the RR era.
Say no more Marquez. Couldn't have said it better. grungemonkey1990, this is indeed one of the first great grunge songs ever made.
As for bands that started the grunge phenomenon, don't forget the U-Men!!! Gibby Haynes certainly didn't!
