"Your Swaying Arms" was the first single from the album Fellow Hoodlums by the Scottish rock band Deacon Blue.
Released in May 1991, it reached #23 on the UK singles chart, but went as high as #6 in Ireland, the last in the group's run of seven Irish top 10 hits between 1988 and 1991.
The releases contained two B-sides, "Fourteen Years" and "Faifley", both of which are rough, bluesy songs that Ricky Ross speaks and sings in a deep, raspy voice.
The 10" vinyl version, surprisingly, contained techno dance remixes of the otherwise placid track.
All songs written by Ricky Ross.
