Lyric Channel Swimmer

10CC - Channel Swimmer

Well it s cold down here in the water
It s cold down here in the sea
Who d be a channel swimmer?
Only a fool like me

I ve greased my body
and I m heading over the ocean
These two arms are the only locomotion
I need

See me swim and see me float
I don t need no motorboat
or a yacht to get me there

I ll do the breaststroke
and the backstroke
I ll do anything
I ll be swimming when you re all asleep
I ll be swimming when you re all awake
I ll do the sidestroke
the other sidestroke
I ll do the butterfly
But I ain t gonna crawl
on back to you, no way

I see your face in every breaker
I see your smile across the reef
I came across the sea to take you
Don t make me out to be a thief

You ll be dreaming when you re all asleep
But I ll be drowning when you re all awake
I did the breaststroke
I did my best stroke
I did everything
But I ain t good enough

Cause it s cold down here in the water
It s cold down here in the sea
Who d be a channel swimmer?
Only a fool like me
Who d be a channel swimmer?
Only a fool like me...
would forget he can t swim
