At swim, two boys

"At swim, two boys" is a song by LorD and Master about two young men falling in love while one teaches the other to swim, as in the book of the same name by Jamie O'Neill. The song is very much a ballad and one which set the precedent for LorD and Master albums having at least one slower or less electronic song on it.

Lyrics

They walk along the bay
They swim there/Every day
If those boys knew
They wouldn't dare
It's not like today when they
Shouldn't care

No need to rush it
Everything to live for
Theirs, all the time

At swim, two boys
At swim, two boys
Drowning in their love

Here's a photograph of me
Keep it with you/When you leave
There's a war that
We must fight
Please come back and we'll
Get it right

No need to rush it
Everything to live for
Theirs, all the time

At swim, two boys
At swim, two boys
Drowning in their love

No need to rush it
Everything to live for
Theirs, all the time

At swim, two boys
At swim, two boys
Drowning in their love

Drowning in their love
