about this song
Kicking off side two of "Speaking in Tongues", “Swamp” follows a slightly different structure than the other songs on the album. Songs such as “Making Flippy Floppy”, “Girlfriend is Better”, and “Pull Up the Roots”, for example, are lyrically loose and impressionistic. Their words seem to exist only as components of the songs themselves instead of as a story or moral on top of the song; everything is given the same treatment and the song itself becomes the message.
