The Fall - Twister lyrics
[The Fall - Twister lyrics]
The magnificent structure straddled the river
As I dictated my autobiography
To my biographer when I heard this tune
My title was "Renegade Genius"
But was interrupted much too soon
Was interrupted much too soon
I received this line
Twister
From me in Hampstead he received a letter
I headed it "Dear Twister"
Up from West Hampstead I visited Keswick
On permission from the guard
I begun like this but could not continue it
When I heard this tune
(It begun like this but
Could not continue it) my ears were burned
By this tune my head swooned
By this tune
Twister
The train from London on day of lunacy
Was packed with innocents
Children tended by walkman'd parents
Cretins auditioning
For non-existent parts on TV One
The train was a tube
Within the crushing beauty of the countryside
On the London-Keswick run
Twister
(My head burned burned da da
Da da my ears burned
Countryside has sold out countryside
Cheap phone calls home
Accent all around cheap phone
Calls ramble grinning
Normally rambled in my ear hole was
Day of lunacy some things
Like explosives of pages turned shadows
Massive fucking noises pop stars
Heh heh hackles try mystic
Meg twister rustic town twister)
Twister
As I dictated my autobiography
To my biographer when I heard this tune
My title was "Renegade Genius"
But was interrupted much too soon
Was interrupted much too soon

Twister

I headed it "Dear Twister"
Up from West Hampstead I visited Keswick
On permission from the guard
I begun like this but could not continue it
When I heard this tune
(It begun like this but
Could not continue it) my ears were burned
By this tune my head swooned
By this tune
Twister
