how it all began
"Swine Flew" by christian heavy metal band One Bad Pig. 1994. Click to listen.
Lyrics:
When Jesus made me Kosher
When I drank the sweet new wine
I felt like a new creature
Really felt like one fine swine
Stark, cold, wet reality
Came and nearly quenced my fire
`Til I heard God speak to me
I was right back in the mire
Chorus:
You´d have to see it to believe it, still God´s Word is true
Swine flew, swine flew
It gives grace a whole new meaning in a sky of blue
Swine flew, swine flew
He said “I haven´t left you,
Hang tight and hope in Me,
I´ll reinvigorate you
Give you strenght and energy”
Up on my feet and moving
Got a strange new runner´s high
See me sprouting eagle´s wings
This pig is gonna fly
You´d have to see it to believe it, still God´s Word is true
Swine flew, swine flew
It gives grace a whole new meaning in a sky of blue
Swine flew, swine flew
Slipped the surely bonds of Earth, in a way few do
Swine flew, swine flew
You can join me in the air, or just sit and stew
Swine flew, swine flew
Swine flew, swine flew, swine flewswine flewswineflewswineflew…
(Look, up in the sky!!! It´s a bird?! It´s a plane?! It´s Superman!
No man, it´s not Superman. It´s ONE BAD PIG!)
Swine flew

I don’t know who you are, but I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for posting this song on the internet! My friend told me about this random 80’s band he listened to as a kid that had a song called “swine flew”…and we couldn’t find it….until now. Classic, ironic, weird. what more can I say?
I am not ashamed to say that this crazy song helped form me as a kid. SWINE FLEW! I’ve had it for years!
murky buckets! I’ve been looking for this for hours. I owe you huge.
Thank you heaps for this posting! I’d been dying to hear that sound again. OneBadPig – years ahead of their time!
