| Lyrics: | We're even now Can we just drop the whole thing? We're even now No need to waste your time When you broke my heart I knew That hindsight's a better view And I hope by now you realize it too We're even now Don't even think about it We're even now What comes around goes around When you saw me with somebody new We were having a grand debut You see the game you play can be played by two It's childish to be spiteful Can't we be friends? Let's bury the old hatchet Here's where the bad blood ends We're even now We're even Steven We're even now And I'm believin' It's good we're even now We're even now Let's just forget about it We're even now Go bug somebody else When you slashed my tires I knew What I though were idle threats were true And you'll act on them after you've had a few We're even now I'm done stalking your condo We're even now You won't catch me snooping around Your security system works well Your neighbors are annoyed as hell And your obedient Doberman knows my smell It's childish to be spiteful Can't we be friends? Let's bury the old hatchet Here's where the bad blood ends We're even now We're let's call the ballgame We're even now Let's call it same same It's good we're even now I'm glad we're even now Telling you we're even now |

Buddy Moncrief
Somewhere out on New Route 66, about 50 miles west of Sinatra and 75 miles east of Tom Waits, Swanson struts his swingin' and singin'. He loves Dave Frishberg songs and Johnny Walker in a tumbler. He'd like to hear Kurt Elling cover Stone Temple Pilots. Lonnie Johnson is God.
On his latest full-length release "We Can't Party Like We Used To" (2009 Acoustic SwaneeLand), Swanson pounds out 12 original vocal jazz cuts with a cool retro vibe. His bluesy vocals and tasty guitar licks remind of crooners past and present - Sinatra, Cole, John Pizzarelli come to mind - but his clever songwriting has a leaner, edgier feel to it that puts him squarely in the current century.
