This Heat – Makeshift Swahili (Live) Lyrics

Artist: This Heat
Song: Makeshift Swahili (Live)

“Makeshift”, she sings
In her native German
You try to understand what she’s trying to say
She says, “You’re only as good

As the words you understand”
And you, you don’t understand a word
Tower of Babel, Swahili
It’s all Greek to me

Bi-lingual, double dutch
Gift of the gab, gift of the gab
We give you firewater, you give us your land
“White man speak with forked tongue”

But it’s too late now to start complaining
Too late
Monosyllabic, hieroglyphic
Et cetera, et cetera

Tower of Babel, Swahili
It’s all Greek to me
New lamps for old, new lamps for old
Rhubarb rhubarb, rhubarb rhubarb

Rhubarb rhubarb, rhubarb rhubarb
