Salome (Let's Twist Again) Songtext / Lyric

Part punk, part God almighty

Part fuck you, part Mister X-ray Eyes

I didn't choose to be shouting for a living

It happened

Something snapped and I don't know why

Too many slaps?

Too many priests?

Fumbled sex in parks?

Or just a part of the me, me, me generation

The Thatcher youth

Coming home to roost

If the old school cap fits, wear it

But I'll take my cake and share it

Burning down a bonfire made of teachers

Pay your VAT bills on the cinders

Just you and little Molly Flinders

Doing the twist at all the dances

Don't look to me for answers






(Let's twist again)

Hear them sing

(Let's twist again)

See them sing

(Let's twist again)

(Let's twist again)

Hear them sing

(Let's twist again)

See them sing

(Let's twist again)

Bring on the dancing girls



Part sussed, part amateur

Part love you, part mister bleeding heart

I singalonga, jump uppa-downa

Watch this space

I've got lungs full of this stuff

Two sides together in the commons bar

Just who the fuck do they think they are

I am not a pop star

I'm a part of the class war

Every revolutionary

Is motivated by love

I see the newsreels, two hundred bodies

In a shallow grave in Timor

What am I supposed to do?

Forget it?

Pretend it never happened?

Whilst politicians circle-jerk 'round

Legal jargon totem poles



(Let's twist again)

Hear them sing

(Let's twist again)

See them sing

(Let's twist again)

(Let's twist again)

Hear them sing

(Let's twist again)

See them sing

(Let's twist again)

Bring on the dancing girls



You tell me

Where does entertainment end

And responsibility begin



Oh Salome waits

Oh Salome waits

Oh Salome waits

She says 'bring me all the heads

of all the heads of state

(Repeat)



(Let's twist again)

Hear them sing

(Let's twist again)

See them sing

(Let's twist again)

(Let's twist again)

Hear them sing

(Let's twist again)

See them sing

(Let's twist again)

Bring on the dancing girls
