Sam-Yo's Song: "I Don't Know Hebrew" Official Lyrics

Background Info:
This song is a reflection upon the frustrationI felt when trying to write my feminism essay last term. I couldn't read the important words written in Hebrew and I wanted to look them up in a big dictionary but as I couldnt even read the letters I had to get an introduction textbook out and try and work out which letter was which and what order they were in. It was VERY annoying. Stuart mentioned in the song is the language lecturer at uni.

Based on:
My gladiators theme song, "I cant read you" by Daniel Beddingfield

Lyrics
I don't normally care but this is different
I can't explain the way I'm searching tonight
I'm searching the library shelves
Tell me what can I do to find this word out
What can I do to make this essay right?
I'm searching the library shelves

And I wish that I could speak
Hebrew instead of greek
Don't know what this squiggle means
Maybe if I just find
The introduction textbooook

But I don't know Hebrew
I wish I knew what this was meant to say
Don't know Hebrew,I need to know a word for this essay
Don't know Hebrew
I wish I knew what this was meant to say
Don't know Hebrew, I need to know a word for this essay

I need it so much I could ask stuart
I can't read Hebrew, not even a sentance, not a line
I'm searching the library shelves
I'm not supposed to be this geeky
Should omit semantic analysis
I can't read it
I'm searching the library shelves

And I wish that I could speak
Hebrew like a geek
Read this word I'm needing
Then I'd be in control
And maybe then I'd know


But I don't know Hebrew
I wish I knew what this was meant to say
Don't know Hebrew,I need to know a word for this essay
Don't know Hebrew
I wish I knew what this was meant to say
Don't know Hebrew, I need to know a word for this essay

And I wish that I could speak
Hebrew like a geek
Read this word I'm needing
Then I'd be in control
And maybe then I'd know

But I don't know Hebrew
I wish I knew what this was meant to say
Don't know Hebrew,I need to know a word for this essay
Don't know Hebrew
I wish I knew what this was meant to say
Don't know Hebrew, I need to know a word for this essay
But I don't know Hebrew
I wish I knew what this was meant to say
Don't know Hebrew,I need to know a word for this essay

Preety gud!

Judging by the passive lyrics, it seems as though it is a truly meaningful song And thats what we like here at J&R RECORDS. We'll have to put this on the potential list on our second album.

kl!
