Wolf Alice - Swallowtail Lyrics






Swallowtail, I met you up atop the shard
As we fell, I never thought we'd hit this hard
It's not right, but it's too late for that now
Swallow fear, and head straight down into the ground
And head straight down into the crowd
Crowd that you've been leaning on
To the crowd,
Crowd that you'd believed were gone

Swallowtail, I met you up atop the shard
As we fell, I never thought we'd hit this hard
It's not right, but it's too late for that now
Swallow fear, and head straight down into the ground
And head straight down into the crowd
Crowd that you've been leaning on
To the crowd,
Crowd that you'd believed were gone

Swallowtail, I met you up atop the shard
As we fell, I never thought we'd hit this hard
It's not right, but it's too late for that now
Swallow fear, and head straight down into the ground
And head straight down into the crowd
Crowd that you've been leaning on
To the crowd,
Crowd that you'd believed were gone

  1. V.... F....

  2. J.... E....

    A masterpiece.

  3. V.... F....

    his voice is beautiful. This band can do no wrong.

  4. d.... ....

    Song’s still good at 2019🥰

  5. J.... v....

    That ending fucked ne up big time... But in a good way

  6. n.... ....

    it's different than their other tracks and i was very suprised while listening to the whole album. it reminds me of the band called The Paper Kites, especially of their EPs. but i can see that Wolf Alice likes to mix their styles and try something new - it's awesome. also, what is obvious, we can hear Joel's vocals. i admire the fact that they or even just Ellie gave him a chance to take the lead.

  7. I.... n....

    One of the most beautifull song <3

  8. A.... D....

    They can do no wrong.

  9. d.... ....

    i bought both their records on record store day.. Love <3

  10. d.... ....

    I'm seeing them for a 3rd time on their U.S. tour... I'm obsessed..

  11. o.... ....

    There's two different types of Wolf Alice.

    There's mellow, ethereal, spine-tingling, goosebumps stuff - like Silk.

    There's fierce rock and guitar thrash - like Fluffy.

    This track has both.

    o.... ....

    wolf alice is very diverse. love em. mannequin pussy's new album, patience, is very similar in diversity.

  12. t.... f....

    L U S H

  13. J.... ....

    For some reason I always overlooked this song when I listened to the album but now that I'm properly listening and paying attention to it I absolutely love it

  14. P.... M....

    Alright, who let Kevin Shields in the studio??

    P.... M....

    PJ Moreau YES!!

    P.... M....

    Love this.

  15. J.... ....

    This sounds just like an early Foo Fighters song. I could hear Dave Grohl singing this. But, that is why I love it!

    J.... ....

    The only way he could hit those high notes is by screaming, though.

  16. s.... ....

    makes me feel like killing myself for real

    s.... ....

    are you still here? i hope to god you are. please reply?!?!

  17. D.... R....

    Perhaps the best song on the album. So simple and lovely.

    The album is amazing, a definite favourite. Every song brings something new and I like them all. But this song. I fucking LOVE!

  19. J.... H....

    I quit a job I hated and remember playing this on the day I drove home. I'll always remember that. Felt fucking awesome.

    J.... H....

    Good for you. Nothing worse that a job you hate. I hop you love the job you have now.

    J.... H....

    Thats an uplifting story man

    J.... H....

    Love this!

    J.... H....

    I'm so happy for you. Wolf Alice have a terrific way of being relatable for real life; that's been my experience. And I genuinely hope life has been good for you since that drive home from that awful job, JH!

  20. T.... ....

    T.... ....

    ThumperOne Joel, the drummer

  21. M.... P....

    i love to have love to this song

  22. s.... ....

    This song and SOAPY WATER are my favourite tracks off their album!

  23. S.... D....

    Perfect sound

  24. H.... L....

    That ending is a big fat cherry on top

  31. M.... ....

    Joel has a good voice... and love the sudden fast playing at the end

  32. w.... ....

    gorgeous

  33. R.... K....

    Reminds me of Slowdive

  34. m.... ....

    I fell asleep to this song today and I almost had a heart attack at the end. Nonetheless love it.

    m.... ....

    ... understandable

  35. L.... J....

    beautifully simple -- classic rock, could be from any era - well after 65 anyway

  36. C.... C....

    The end of the lead guitar line in the verse sort of sounds like Lost keys by Tool.

  37. S.... B....

    This song is so beautiful live, especially the end part.

  38. A.... P....

    Hi Luke

    A.... P....

    Alright mate

    A.... P....

    +Luke Berrie Yeh good fella, hope you're doing well also?

    S.... ....

    It's Joel :)

    S.... ....

    Joel Amey. The drummer.

  40. G.... S....

    I love this song :)

  41. f.... h....

    Beautiful song.😋

  42. s.... ....

    I thought this was a John Grant track? ;) Stunning song. Not really representative of the album as a whole which is not a negative thing as the rest is equally as awesome, just a little different. An amazing band who were superb at Glasto yesterday. Big things ahead, I'm certain. :)

  43. c.... ....

    channelling slowdive, nice

    c.... ....

    +connor yeah right :) the hidden track (is that on here) sounds like my bloody valentine.


    i am in love with this band. they are hard to pin a label too. they sound like so many bands and different genres of alternative music.


    they can sound grunge or like dream pop or shoegaze.....they are just great.


    they sometimes sound liike the joy formidable and sometimes like No Joy.

    c.... ....

    +miked4309 "they are hard to pin a label too" , Perhaps one of the reasons why they are so good.
    ps I elements of new wave "late 70's say penetration), Belly from the early 90,s = Dusted, Super connected and esp The Duke Spirit from around 10 years ago = Red Weather.
    Lovely track showing like all great bands they are not simply one dimensional

    c.... ....

    @Keith Bate yes.  true...there are a lot of new alternative bands that have multi sounds...like BOYTOY and speedy ortiz to name a couple.
