Biography

Swans is a band from New York City, active from 1982 to 1997, reformed in 2010, founded & led by singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist [a79651]. Marginally associated with the no wave scene initially, their original sound was slow and extremely heavy, best heard on the live album Public Castration Is a Good Idea. By the time Swans released twin albums Greed and Holy Money the music had sped up. Drum machines and samples were slightly more prominent. Michael Gira was joined vocally by Jarboe which gave the band a broader sonic range. Swans eventually broke up in 1997. In 2010, Michael Gira re-formed the band. A notable change was that post-reunion Swans did not have Jarboe as part of their group, creating tonal differences between post-reunion albums and older albums.

LYRICS

play with a pig, and you become a pig
play in the mud, and you sink in the mud
fall in a hole, and you stay in a hole
you'll be there to look at, at the top of the stairs
they're talking about you
when they come down, they'll know what to do
they've worked out a scene
according to your weakness, according to how you can be used
look at the monkey suck and pull
look at monkey chew on his leash
because he wants control of his movements
