Zanzibar

Album: Armchair Gurus Durasi: 3:26
[00:27.53]Did we ever meet in Zanzibar,
[00:30.24]Two Caucasians at the town bazaar?
[00:35.11]Are you who you say you are?
[00:43.77]Did you offer me a Dutch cigar?
[00:48.82]You must have thought you were so bourgeois.
[00:55.54]Are you who you say your are?
[01:00.73]After all these years, you haven't changed at all
[01:10.18]But I can't say you look the same.
[01:18.95]Summer days are hot in zanzibar
[01:23.49]And at night the sky is filled with stars.
[01:28.95]Listen.You can hear guitars.
[01:49.79]Native people, skins as black as tar,
[01:54.27]Wear bright-coloured robes in Zanzibar.
[01:59.29]They've never even heard of ska!
[02:07.58]On a tour of limestone caves
[02:11.91]Did we see where traders kept their slaves?
[02:16.63]Was that how we spent the day?
[02:24.58]After all these years, you haven't changed at all
[02:32.87]But I can't say you look the same.
[02:42.47]I have never been to Zanzibar
[02:47.12]I have always thought it was too far
[02:52.65]You're not who you say you are.
